Sure. Could be. I don't know enough about the characteristics of light as it passes through a transparent spherical medium to say, really.

Was it Uncle Jesse's moonshine recipe? Because that's messed up. He worked hard on that.

Daisy's song got mixed up with Boss Hog's illegal music pirating outfit.

Suffice to say shit really hit the fan.

We owe a debt of gratitude to Catherine Bach. She gave us Daisy Dukes.

It's a reflection from the beautiful solar orbs.

It's just a focused refraction, yes.

Solar tech is hard to market to normal people because normal people can't afford that shit.

well yah, at least they can't afford a solar orb right now because the cost to bring the product to market is too high. But once manufacturing has caught up, that is, once the entire manufacturing process is up and running, the cost per unit should drop significantly, just like anything else. You wanna know why laptop computers cost $5k 15 years ago and now cost $300 today (and you are getting a much better laptop today), because the cost to produce them is a lot cheaper. Same with super duper smart phones, etc.

What I'm curious about is the water these orbs. It can't be tap water, I'm thinking it's gotta be some super clear, super clean type of water. So between the glass orb and the water, along with the solar panel the concentrates the light energy and transforms it into electricity that goes to the house, I'm wondering just how much something like that could cost and maintain, if the orb manufacturer is cranking out a hundred thousand units a month....

Repurpose them as property defense laser systems and watch the profits roll in.

I am wondering about how much energy one provides
the Perfect orb part makes me think very expensive
