Low Budget Solar Dish
Mimicking the reflectors used by leather-faced sunbathers, some brainy MIT students have created a solar-concentrating dish powerful enough to melt steel, and cheap enough to spread like wildfire.  more
MIT Students Develop Revolutionary Solar Dish
New solar dish from MIT concentrates sunlight intensely enough to melt steel The solar industry is booming. With waves of investment and grants, the solar power industry is for the first time becoming a serious business. New power plants will soon be pumping power out to consumers, while other firms market to sell panels directly to the consumer, p  more
MIT Students Build Solar Dish that Can Melt You, Your Family
MIT students have spent the past several weeks assembling a 12-foot mirrored dish that can concentrate sunlight 1,000 times over. In the picture here, we see the panel instantly igniting a plank of wood in its path. As for lighting your house—no problem.  more
MIT Students Builds Own Solar Dish
MIT group makes low-cost dish to tap solar energy
Spencer Ahrens, a 23-year-old mechanical engineer, was on MIT’s campus last week, holding a wooden plank, surrounded by onlookers.Slowly, he turned that wooden plank before a series of mirrors that had been placed inside an aluminum frame, until the wood caught fire.  more

Off the Shelf Solar Concentrator
I\'ve been hearing about an MIT (student) project to build low-cost solar concentrators using off the shelf materials since January when the project was part of the Independent Activities Period.  more
Inventors: Solar Dish Could Revolutionize Energy Production
A new type of solar energy collector concentrates the sun into a beam that could melt steel. Researchers say the device could revolutionize global energy production.  more
MIT team plays with fire to create cheap energy
New solar dish harnesses power from heat – at a size and cost that make soaking up the sun even more attractive.  more
5 Brilliant Startup Ideas From MIT’s New Crop of Graduates
At present, solar power has a hard time competing with fossil-fuel equivalents, but a team of students led by freshly minted MIT graduate Spencer Ahrens is working to bring costs down with a solar concentrator—essentially a 12-foot network of shiny mirrors—that boosts the sun\'s intensity by up to 1,000 times, producing 10,000 watts of heat and, eventually, 3,500 watts of electricity.  more
