Summary

Description
Català: Resum d'un raig de calor d'Arquimedes. A la pràctica, es necessitarien molts més miralls dels que es mostren, i els resultats poden haver estat només suor de soldat, ceguesa temporal i confusió en lloc de foc. Els miralls podrien haver estat de metall polit i tenien uns miralls perforats al mig per utilitzar-los per apuntar. Al segle XX, un científic grec va demostrar que el pla de Reece realment podria haver funcionat, incendiant un petit model de vaixell amb una fracció del nombre d'escuts polits que els sicilians haurien tingut a la seva disposició. Proposa que alguns vaixells romans realment es van incendiar i, en conseqüència, es van enfonsar.
English: Summary of an Archimedes heat ray. In practice, many more mirrors than shown would be needed, and the results may have been merely soldier sweat, temporary blindness, and confusion rather than fire. The mirrors may have consisted of polished metal and had peep-holes drilled in the middle for use in aiming.

In the 20th century a Greek scientist demonstrated that reece's plan actually could have worked, setting a small model ship ablaze with a fraction of the number of polished shieldsthe Sicilians would have had available to them. He proposes that some Roman ships actually did catch fire and consequently sank.

For example, the German Wikipedia will use German if the SVG file has German. To embed this file in a particular language use the lang parameter with the appropriate language code, e.g. [[File:Archimedes Heat Ray conceptual diagram.svg|lang=en]] for the English version. Do not specify a lang parameter if it is not needed. The parameter may prevent the use of a subsequent translation.

To translate the text into your language, you can use the SVG Translate tool. Alternatively, you can download the file to your computer, add your translations using whatever software you're familiar with, and re-upload it with the same name.
