Description[edit | edit source]
To produce heat, the concessionaire will use 40,000 mirrors, each four feet square. The glasses so direct the rays that they converge in the interior of a furnace where heat is generated for running the "solar engine". Mr. Wideen claims that 10,000 degrees can be generated by his apparatus.
