How To Make A Solar Generator

Vincent Said:

How do I make a parabola?

We Answered:

Take a dish filled with epoxy with a fairly long cure time (not 5 minutes). Get a variable speed - slow motor and create a platform on the shaft where the epoxy filled dish can rest.

Adjust the speed of the motor to create the "power" of the concave mirror you will create as the dish rotates. The rotating epoxy will assume the shape of a perfect parabola.
