I wonder if anyone has a calculator out there to determine just how many mirrors = what temp? I suppose that will depend largely on the surrounding conditions tho...

Not sure what you mean by 'temp and heat being different' ? I was never much of a scholar, more of a 'do it and find out' kinda guy.

I'm not planning on generating 1200F... that would be nuts! but if I could generate enough heat to store at say 200F, I think that would be sufficient.
