big screen TV

[mesha]

The bulb went out. It isn't the new flat kind, but it isn't the old gimantic kind either. It is 7 years old or close to it.

According to the internet it will be about 200 to fix and take 45 min. I bought a new TV instead.


gotta haul it away. I won't hold it for you. the next time I go to the dump I will take it along. Unless I take it out and shoot it first

Rear projection?

saw a really cool thing over the weekend where they took the lens piece out and were using it as a magnifying glass and melting pennies with one...

A fresnel lens. I've been wanting to make a death ray for a while now.

My wife would probably kill me...

We'll keep it at my house then.

Uhhmmmm

If this works out then the TV is no longer available

I don't care who owns it, I just want to melt holes in the sidewalk with the sun.

Preferably somebody else's sidewalk but mine will do in a pinch.

 

[Kiel]

agreed, you need to do this and melt all your enemies!

I can't believe I didn't think of this! We did the math for a lens in Physics in college and I have always wanted to build a welder with a giant lens. Gah!

 

[I Lean]

Yep, I'm all in for this one.
