BACKGROUND
The ancients discovered very early that special mirrors could concentrate sunrays onto anything burnable with enough intensity to cause the object to burst into flames in seconds. Because of these instruments' ability to start fires, the ancients almost universally referred to them as burning mirrors. In this incredible ability, according to the legend, Archimedes once burned up the whole Roman fleet. Smaller mirrors are capable of lighting a piece of paper put in its focus or burning your ValentineÆs name on the bench.
