People have been getting to 3500°C with the same kind of system for decades.
- gamblor956 7y agoYes, but the Odeillo target is 40 cm in size...which is fundamentally too small for industrial-scale heating. Heliogen isn't getting anywhere near that temperature...but it is apparently getting to industrially-useful temperatures at industrially-useful sized targets at financially-feasible costs.
