INTENSE heat parabolic solar concentrators
Details
Welcome to the Open Source Alternative Energy Class series here at Dallas Makerspace!
Get detailed, open-source plans and estimated working output specifications for your own solar parabolic concentrator.
Warning: this can generate intense heat in a very small area and will require eye protection and other safeguards to implement.
Free energy?!? Well, this is about as free as it gets currently (always some caveats)...
How? Come to the class -- we will cover several variations and what resources are available here at Dallas Makerspace to help you complete an open source alternative energy project like this.
The goal is to have fun while learning from real-life engineering projects you can build here at Dallas Makerspace.
Are you an idea person? The other benefit to attending these classes is you will get to see the CAD/CAM and engineering hurdles as well as other pieces of the technology puzzle specific to this energy problem.
We remove the mystery, verify what others claim, and only go with what we have tested ourselves...

Special Considerations and Warnings
We will be in and out of the machine shop, the science area, and the metal shop so closed-toe shoes and clothes you do not mind getting dirty are best.
