Dan Roas and the Frel Lens

Dan Roas, a Florida native, is preparing for a major lightning storm by creating a super solar station capable of cooking food, purifying water, and making weapons. To achieve this, he needs a rare magnifying lens, which he finds at a pawn shop. The lens, made of two types of plastic, is not durable under UV light but is effective for his needs. Dan tests the lens, which can concentrate sunlight to 500°, enough to start a fire instantly. The test proves successful, showcasing the lens's power.
