| - | With mirrors, a support framework, and established formulas for the overall shape, you can produce incredible heat – up to 3,500 °C. The materials are commonly available, and require very little tech base to produce or assemble, and they can take some of the highest-resource-consuming tasks off the grid. They might not be as reliable as electric power, but with the right combination of technologies, | + | With mirrors, a support framework, and established formulas for the overall shape, you can produce incredible heat – up to 3,500 °C. The materials are commonly available, and require very little tech base to produce or assemble, and they can take some of the highest-resource-consuming tasks off the grid. From tiny solar cookers to massive solar furnaces, there are tons of clever formats for this technology. Heating with the sun might not be as reliable as with electric power (assuming a reliable grid), but with the right combination of technologies, |
