Watch as Sundrop artist Hig melts glass with a giant magnifying lens and lets it drip into a beautiful multi-colored Sundrop.

Watch a penny start to melt and then catch fire in the concentrated sunlight at the focal point of our lens.

In this video, the lens sears a hole in a piece of wood. The wood begins burning almost instantly when it's put in the focal point of the lens.

Shaun demonstrates how to make a single color Sundrop. He places a strip of purple stained glass in the focal point, melts a blob of glass on the end, and allows gravity to pull the molten glass into a perfect Sundrop shape.

Our 31"x41" fresnel lens is made of 1/8" thick plastic with grooves in concentric rings. Fresnel lenses were originally designed for lighthouses, to disperse light. By flipping the lens over, we concentrate light instead. On a clear day like in the video, the focal point can reach 3000 degrees.
