GOLD. i think it's the ozzie winters. not snowy enough. though, judging by "the man from snowy river" you should have a lot of snow. in the mountains. <BR/><BR/>zen, that's exactly it. it WOULD be an act of war, open war on snow. snow knows no country nor fights under any flag, therefore it is not protected under the conventions. huzzah! i can be brutal to snow!<BR/><BR/>stepho, using an archimedes style death ray and or magnifying lens would prove impossible, and or waaay too expensive. for the both, the amount of mirrors needed coupled with the structural bracing to support them would be costly enough. the fact that during northern hemisphere winter the sun is actually hottest 26 degrees south of the equator makes getting a good supply of sun pretty darn hard. see, that's why it's cold... the suns rays aren't very hot to us right now cuz of the tilt of our axis. so... in the summer it would be a bitchin' idea... if we had snow.Drunken Chudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04669157739028122437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16483959.post-15662537095919761852007-12-19T20:21:00.000-05:002007-12-19T20:21:00.000-05:00What if you hooked up mirrors in a clever way on e...What if you hooked up mirrors in a clever way on either side of your driveway to cleverly direct the rays of the sun?
