Damnit! Half the time I think of a witty remark and one of you tarts gets to it before I scroll down to comment...

Needed to have patrick light on fire. Sun so hot it melts the metaphysical
Poopiusbutticus
It also sets thousands of birds on fire
Xir0
Was anyone else hoping Patrick would start melting too?

Mirrored Satellite used Solar Beam. It's super effective!

I can't believe it's not butter.

Gape, yep that’s metal gape. Stick your you know what in it.
LobsterBandito
But...but Patrick is in there.

Thumb?

An electric arc furnace can melt 150 tons of heavy scrap in 55 minutes.
temmytehgamer
Any one wants a steel chips with that?
JoeClassico
Yeah but how well can it melt butter?
IamtheMonkeyKing
Didn't myth busters try this and not melt anything because they couldn't figure out how to focus it?
SinStar87
Sort of, they tested Archimedes' death ray, where they tried to light a ship on fire that was on the water. That didn't work out well.
yamidan
Yep, flash back to me yelling "It's not a fucking parabolic mirror yet dickheads" at my TV.
LobsterBandito
They did a lot of things improperly. That one was the biggest. Just because you can’t come up with a solution doesn’t mean I doesn’t exist!
ShotgunFiend
Helios One?
TheLordCypher
So, you get an iron-nickel asteroid, hollow it out, and fill it with ice...
Maldraek
Spread that shit on toast.
herbertcamacho
That's amazing, I don't think I have ever seen liquid steel that wasn't red hot.

First thing i thought of
Roqinn
I was thinking this same exact thing!

Solar fuel CAN melt steel beams
hazzary453
If only I could be so grossly incandescent
LordSkippyTheMagnificent
But not Patrick
IamLrrrRulerofthePlanetOmicronPerseiVIII
Not beams, it’s a piece of 1/8” sheet metal. Steel beams are made of anywhere from 1/4” to 1.5”, generally on the higher end of that
Beepity
It's a very flat beam.
SoIBecameADoona
The two would have near as damn the same surface area. It's not going to materially affect the outcome, only the time taken.

Concentrated solar thermal plants are still being used and developed. They have a lot of advantages (and some disadvantages).
whatthehellanotheraccount
might be steel but it really looks like tin or lead
newsguycraigevans
Reminded me of aluminum
GGfail
According to this it’s actually steel https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8tt7RG3UR4c
Crawmak
Looked like that to me until the image went full color.
T3sl4co1l
When the light is that many times brighter than the incandescence of the stuff, it just looks like the ordinary metal. :)
T3sl4co1l
Aluminum and copper are shiny enough and still dim enough that they look nice and metallic when molten in bright sunlight. :)
T3sl4co1l
A lot harder to do that with steel, except for special conditions...
hahamadeyoucry
Idk.. looks like Patrick
wadenelson1
flows like tin, lead, or aluminum.
boomchacle
that's because of the camera adjusting for the light being 10 thousand times brighter than normal.
rezpawner
Are all you people fucking blind? It's that god damn terminator! He's back to kill us all!
L0rdAv0n
No, it's Patrick
rezpawner
Didn't you see that documentary? It can take ANY shape it wants. Even Patrick's.
q2grapple
Is your name Sarah Conner?
rezpawner
No good has ever come from saying "yes" to that question...
