Giant mirrors reflect sunshine into dark Norway town of Rjukan

Giant mirrors have been positioned on top of a hill in Norway to shine light into the dark valley town of Rjukan. The sides of the valley are so steep and the mountain so high that the town of Rjukan was in shadow for almost half the year until the new invention was added. The mirrors are controlled by a computer that follows the path of the sun, adjusting to the best angle to catch the rays and reflect them onto the town centre. Report by Sarah Johnston.

The Norse accent kind of sounds like a Somerset accent from the UK
Damn it’s gotta suck there lol 😂
Bizarre it took so long to actually build. Was reading about this town and noticed the idea was indeed around for 100 years?!? Why wait?

⭕️The crazy idea. Is that they still have not realized 400 years later or more that they absolutely built their shitty town on the absolute WRONG SPOT. EVEN THE ROMANS KNEW how to do it taking into consideration our one main. celestial light source, more than 29 CENTURIES ago.
Why not have more mirrors and create a perpetual summer?
What’s a ‘toyne’?
Fascinating
And china was trying to build an artificial sun 😂😂
Tine of Radjikan??? 😀 sounds rather exotic.

The Russians tried this back in soviet times but with a giant space mirror that reflected the moons light down on the surface and it worked but they abandoned it became the soviet didn’t care about it
can we install such mirror in space to get sunlight at night ??

This is a Powerful Prove the Earth is Flat and immovable. If its rotates, then Sunlight would have reached it. People, this is prove Science is a fraud
Did the local government consult the vampiric community before installing these mirrors? I doubt it somehow! Rjukan has a large and vibrant vampire population. Yet another vampirist action by a government unconcerned about the undead. I hope that they vote with their wings and bat off to a town that welcomes the cape krone.
Good place for a nightclub
Are the giant sun mirrors made up?
Where’s the heavy water plant
A lot of easy girls putting out during the dark days
Causing change in climate.
That sunless town looks like Rjukan in Norway
*Absolutely no effects to wildlife.*
Khmmmm Just saying that a half round mirror or metal ball might works better. . lol Like a huge one not a small one…
They took the idea from Italy.
Who else here from the ACT
Seems like a shady place.
Human Selfishness, Not Eco friendly. Gradually land slides may occur.
we should do the opposite to safe life!
Bad journalism.. Failed to show it lightning up the town and examples in real time as the resident would experience it. Instead we see some light behind a man’s shoulder.
what are these mirrors made from?
Hello my 9gag friends. Welcome

Vampires disagree.

Was just there and told it’s now inoperable and the company that built it is bankrupt
A bigger one and rounded.

That’s a THICC accent and probably the best pronunciation of "Rjukan" I’ve ever heard😅
