Dish Sized Solar Panel That Can Power an Entire Tiny House?
This 19-year-old kid is a genius, isn’t he?
The Power of 5,000 Suns? Seriously?
What if this technology can someday power an entire tiny house and recharge battery reserves faster than we would have ever imagined?
The R5800 Solar “Death Ray”
Watch the video below to see what I’m talking about and here’s an excerpt from the inventor himself:
The R5800 is my latest and greatest solar creation. Made from an ordinary fiberglass satellite dish, it is covered in about 5800 3/8″ (~1cm) mirror tiles. When properly aligned, it can generate a spot the size of a dime with an intensity of 5000 times normal daylight. This intensity of light is more than enough to melt steel, vaporize aluminum, boil concrete, turn dirt into lava, and obliterate any organic material in an instant. It stands at 5’9″ and is 42″ across.
Unfortunately, the R5800 was completely destroyed in a storage shed fire on December 14, 2010.Coming spring of 2011:
Sun Runner 3
R23000 (R23K)Area of dish aperture (elliptical)= (pi x 102cm x 73cm)/4 = 5848 sq cm
Area of focal point (circular)= pi(0.6cm)^2 = 1.14 sq cm
Concentration Power= 5848/1.14 = 5129 then rounded down
Output Power Estimate = 560 watts

Can you see a small device like this being able to easily recharge battery reserves quickly to power homes of all sizes? This kid’s invention can really lead to some incredible breakthroughs (and less oil dependency).

Backyard Tiny House with Covered Front Porch
Photo by Kathy Ogles
From the owner/builder:
Here’s a pic of the outside of my backyard studio. It’s complete with a loft, hidden stairs and a closet for my supplies. The front porch is a great inspiration place.
It was a true labor of love. Wish I could build them for a living. Already thinking of additions and changes.
Kathy – thank you so much for sharing!

Tiny House with a Big Sleeping Loft and Covered Porch/Deck
This is a genius idea for permits because the main level is still less than 100-square-feet. The rest is simply a 100-square-feet covered deck and a 200-square-foot attic/loft which doesn’t count because ceiling height is less than 6′. But you must check your own local zoning codes before designing and building! Thanks for the tip I got on Facebook through Kent from the Tiny House Blog.
