Melting Padlocks with a Giant Magnifying Glass
Saturday, January 31, 2009 at 6:04PM Remember burning and melting stuff with a magnifying glass as a kid? Ever wonder what would happen if you took a giant magnifying glass and tried the same thing? Well this exactly what Dick and Will over at The Brothers Whitney did when they used a giant Fresnel lens, about the size of a 60 inch TV, to create a home made death ray. In the video below they release the death ray on a brass padlock!
After watching this I can't help by imagine a Steam Punk safe cracker using something similar to burn into a safe. Anyways I need to find a giant Fresnel lens to use on my next physical pentest. No more picking locks I'm just going to burn my way into buildings!
If you like the video be sure to visit the The Brothers Whitney's website for a complete write up on their death ray and more movies of them using it.
A big shout to Make.TV for originally pointing my to Dick and Will's work.
