    I could be wrong, but isn't there a danger of the battery exploding from that kind of heat?

    Danger is in the eye of the beholder. Anyone with a solar death ray is blind to danger.

  3. They missed a chance. by Dr.+Manhattan · · Score: 5, Funny
    Back when calculator watches were cool, I had one die on me over the summer. I replaced it, melted the dead one with a magnifying glass, then hid it and waited until I went back to school. Then I waited more, for the right weather.

    One night I wandered into the neighboring dorm room, hair wet from the rain, acting fuzzy.

    Of course they thought I might be drunk. But I slurringly denied it. "No, I think I got hit by lightning."

    Hoots of derision. "No, really. I was walking back here, and then I... I woke up... and my watch was like this." I held up my wrist with the melted face...

    I wish I could have milked it a bit more, but I had to stop them before they called an ambulance.

    Keep in mind who you're dealing with here: guys who build heat rays in their backyards for fun.

    To them, setting things on fire is fun. Making things explode is AWESOME.

    They could have sold it for maybe 30-40 bucks.

    Break.com pays $600 for videos that make it to their front page. This made it. I think this was a better investment.
