The Caloris Basin

The Caloris Basin is a new way to concentrate sunlight. Using very inexpensive materials, it produces temperatures high enough to fry food and boil water. The Caloris Basin team is Jamie O'Shea, Ezer Lichtenstein and Bjorn Quenemoen.

Bjornqorn is popcorn popped in sunlight, the first commercial product to use the Caloris Basin.

The completed commercial scale prototype, at the Quenemoen farm in Minnesota.
