for solar powered kilns.

Imagine this ...waking on the summer day...a sunrise that promises a long
day of solar power for the Helix kiln mirrors.... most of the wares are
bisque already and the pots are standing out in the open onto top of a some
kilns shelves ...completely out in the open for all to see...then the sun
stikes the mirrors and the computers start aligning the pots sun and mirrors
.... enough mirrors to intensitve light many times over and to engineered to
strike the pots at the optimal angles to create instant heat and the sun
journeys will provide the fuel ...peaking in the afternoon ...the mirrors
get lighter the pots get hotter untill for all to see the clays melds with
the fire forever....we would have to develop new clays to withstand that
solar shock...I bet we could ..what I like about it besides the unique view
is that there will be no pollution no big toxic insulation materials no
bricks no doors...I think it would be insane and I am all for developing one
of this glorious insane contraption ....heat pollution? what would we
need...come on there must some crazies out there foolish enought to attempt
such a feat.
