Markus Kayser has come up with two innovative gadgets that chanellize the tremendous energy of the sun. These are named as Sun Cutter and Solar Sinter. The Sun Cutter is a device based on a cam-operated system in which the large ball lens concentrates the sun rays onto a 2D object. These sun rays work like a laser beam and cuts the surface easily.
The second device is named as a Solar Sinter, a path-breaking invention, which requires sun and sand as its raw materials. The process of converting a powder-like substance into a 3D solid shape is called ‘sintering’. Keeping the same concept in mind, Kayser changed the raw materials and channelized the sun’s rays into melting the sand and then giving the melted sand a shape of solid 3D glass.
With this invention, Markus Kayser has proved that the sun is a very potent source of energy. Now, It will be really amazing to see how we can use two very natural ingredients – the sun and sand to create glass 3D objects with solar energy. Kayser’s inventions are truly wondrous and show how science can help in identifying the hidden potential of the sun.
