Probably doesn't, but the same principle is used for a furnace:

They are acheiving temperatures of 4400F, so Mythbusters must have
been doing something very wrong to only acheive 200F

Even more information on solar furnances can be found at 
http://www.boeing.com/assocproducts/energy/articles/tower.html Now they are 
planning solar 2. The first solar furnance was in the USSR and the first in 
the US was run by the Southern California Edison Power Company.

He Sean!

Congrats!  I heard about your new position through the local grapevine a
couple of days ago!  It's good to see that it really did happen, and
wasn't just rumour.

On another note, I have been meaning to get back in touch with you all
to see if there was any overhire work available in the future.  I am
still on the market, and would really like to come out and work for you
all again.

Thanks, 

Jason Cowperthwaite
