OK uber web-aholics.

Nope it would not be fake do some research you will find that the mirrors on the ground reflect to a tower which in turns heats up some thing.I say it's fake. if the mirrors are fixed it would mean the thing would only work at full capacity for a few minutes every day...
you just said in a paragraph what I said in one sentence. Yes it can work but not very efficiently.wizardofid wrote:Nope it would not be fake do some research you will find that the mirrors on the ground reflect to a tower which in turns heats up some thing.I say it's fake. if the mirrors are fixed it would mean the thing would only work at full capacity for a few minutes every day...
A field like that can easily be a Mile or more big all mirrors are then set for a common point as more heat is generated that way.
To put it simple the tower is the one recieving the reflection.The are fixed by can be adjusted if needed.
As for is it real.Yes it is.....

We have 2 nuclear power plants - that alone should give you a clue.
We are also the only country to ever voluntarily dismantle our nuclear arsenal. Back in the bad 'ol days SA about 6 nuclear warheads statshed out in the Karroo - just in case.
