Be sure to ask permission from any women in the house before you try this at home, and be careful.

Note:
I did keep the garden hose on hand for safety, and used it twice.

Would this tie into your sneaky stratergies to win a poker tournament SJ?

Or are you planning something more sinister...

It has nothing to do with Poker.

However, I have recently acquired the parts nessesary to quadruple the power, and tomorrow should be a sunnier day.

Indeed it does, just send those photos to your opponents and i'm sure they'll surrender.

But thats pretty impressive considering it's home parts and stuff.

I do have a fresnel lens, but its more trouble and the focal length on it is too short. (Its off a busted overhead projector, so about 30cm on a side, but the focal length is about 10cm)

These mirrors are cheaper too.
