Better to make a gas producer than a boiler.

How hard would it be to make a solar flash boiler, for those of us in

I knew a person that made a solar water heater that was 10 by 10 feet. He
used
bed rails for structure and square mirror tiles as the reflector. He
clamed he could
easily boil water at the focal point of all those reflectors.
