OH MAN ! Just saw one about a month ago sitting out for trash, and the lens was sitting there exposed. :(
I've seen Dan Rojas talk about these over at Green Power Science http://www.youtube.com/user/GREENPOWERSCIENCE

He and his wife Denise do some great videos using these and other science projects for all sorts of cool things. They have some great builds, and I really liked their VAWT power project. The very first video I ever saw from them was one where Dan uses a table saw to cut a PERFECT CIRCLE. :D

They got some pretty cool things that they do and build, and I reccomend them for every prepper to check out.
