Solar Sand Sintering, developed by Marcus Kayser, is when you collect the suns rays, magnify them, direct the magnified rays onto some sand in a box, and the box moves according to a program in the computer. Layer after layer of sand is added to the box. The magnified sun’s rays turn the sand into glass.
Solar Sintering is a good example of combining two abundant materials (sand and sun) to create a new material that easily extracted from the ground and does little to no damage to the surrounding environment.
