- SOLAR ENERGY || When concentrated with a concave mirror, the sun's focused light can heat a small furnace. This kit is an ideal classroom demonstration of solar energy.
- EASY TO USE || To function appropriately as a solar furnace, the system must be aligned to focus the solar rays onto the cup. As the earth spins, the spot on the cup will move and eventually no longer hit the cup. Simply realign the mirror system to keep the solar rays heating the copper cup.
- SAFETY & HANDLING || Do not stare at the bright spot of the focused solar rays for a prolonged time, and avoid touching the copper cup once it is hot. Be sure to allow the copper cup and its contents to cool before handling.
- PRODUCT DIMENSIONS || The parabolic mirror measures 11.8 inches in diameter. The entire apparatus stands 18 inches tall.
Eisco Labs Solar Furnace
This solar furnace effectively showcases the transfer of energy between solar radiation and thermal energy. Ideal for physics classroom demonstrations. Light from the Sun's rays are reflected off of a 30cm (11.8") diameter parabolic reflector, and are focused onto a black colored copper cup.
Solar Furnace measure 18 inches tall and is 11.8 inches in diameter.
