Norwegians use giant mirrors to reflect sunlight into town square

- The Norwegian town of Rjukan has constructed three large mirrors on a mountain to beam sunlight into the town's square. Rjukan's long winters keep it without daylight for around six months of the year. The three heliostats rotate throughout the day as the sun moves to catch and reflect the rays

we have summer season whole year and it never ends, please take some of it for your country
Reflect Orbital remember the name
SG ❤
Is it only this small spot in the town centre that is covered by sunlight? Also, wouldn't this create a heat effect similar to that of a magnifying glass? Remember the story where a huge glass building melted the side-view mirrors of a car parked outside of it?
Yeah, the Walkie-talkie, in London.
No mirror doesn't focus the light
No, Mirrors can only melt if they are Concave or if say 10+ mirrors are pointed at the same spot.
Imagine how he felt when he kept spotting himself in that massive fucking mirror.
Reflect Orbital trying to make money from this idea😂
It's good they are getting together to get it together
Its no longer a paradise for vampires
Fucking awesome.
The sun is shining in day time then what is the advantage by reflecting using mirror?
During half the year there is no sunlight there…
Awesome

They took the idea from an Italian village.
The Italians planned this at 1935 or 1940 but the Norwegians thought about it at 1913 but Italian people were more advanced at building that time, so the Norwegians completed the sun mirror at 2013 but the Italians far back in 1945 or 1960 ( somewhere in those years) but I can’t blame you for saying that since Italians were done before.
HAHAHAHAHAHA

uhm, the Earth has this cool thing called "rotation"...
andrephx90 well, the mountain ranges really hate these people
Heliostat
Hmmm, as cool as this is, there must be a better solution. Perhaps a Special Lens to refract and diffuse the Sunlight across the shaded area.
0:26 he said he came up with the idea yet manager says its a 100 yr old idea 1:02. 110 yr old idea actually. 1st proposed in1913. So either 1st dude is really old or...
