Last weekend we were shown Angry Birds Toons: Episode 36: “Fired Up”.
The poster shows Chuck wielding an Archimedes Burning Lens (Ahem, magnifying glass) setting fire to everything.
For comedy purposes I put the poster beside a painting of Archimedes and a “heat ray” contraption. Heat rays were used in the Siege of Syracuse (214-212 BC) against Roman ships.
I wonder if Chuck would discover liquid displacement in a bathtub and draft formulae for volumetric calculations next…
Trivia: It’s possible for an array of mirrors to set an actual wooden ship aflame, but it requires absolutely perfect weather conditions. And possibly many, many mirrors in a parabolic array. Certain materials used in ancient ship construction could be easily set aflame.
