This is a raw unedited video in realtime demonstrating the physics of light through a Huger Fresnel Lens. As water is added to the Fresnel side of the lens, the Focal Length triples due to water filling in the grooves of the lens. The optical quality is reduced causing the light to spread over a larger area. The overall energy concentrated is the same (less water filtering). This solar Fresnel Lens with a 40″ focal length increased to almost 9 feet or 108″
