Magnifying glass Laser?

[Dillpickle]

I was thinking while walking to get a pop, what if you got alot of Magnifying glass's and put them together?
Like, a big one, then a smaller one, and smaller, until it funnels itself into the size of like, a quarter.
Would that turn it into a laser or something, would it make the light beam Very very strong, capable of burning through things much easier and quicker? I would try it out if it wasn't night..

 Discuss your opinion and ideas.

I don't think this would work.

How wouldn't it? It you got all of the glasses aligned perfectly with each other, You could. You would probably have to Make the first big ones farther away from the others or something, but I think I can see it working.

 Im going to get a pop while messing with the megnifying glass or two.
 I was also wondering if Mirrors would help make it stronger.

Heh, Okay. I might be able to get my mini mirror to reflect the light into the contraption I might make sometime soon.

IDEAEDIT

 In the winter, what if I used mirrors to reflect light bouncing off the SNOW, and into the contraption, like a Mirror at

  The ! is the light coming off the Snow, and the yellow is the mirrors, red is the Light reflecting off the Snow and the place where the megnifying glass will burn the snow or whatever at.
Good idea?

I don't want to cheat, I want to try and make a completely Magnifying Glass Use only.
Ill have to get a prototype with just cardboard to hold up some household ones, but then maybe end up buying a dozen and taking the lendes into some pipe.

i like the sound of this idea :3

If you're that set on burning something, just use fire. :/
