The model used a different coordinate system than the one used in the design of the prototype, but in the end the script converts the coordinates back to the agreed upon coordinate conventions.

Outdoor testing
A single outdoor testing run was sufficient to determine that the prototype was performing but falling short of design specifications. The expectation was that the interaction of the primary and secondary reflectors would produce a line through the origin along the x-axis with a bright point at the origin itself. The line would be the result of light reflecting directly from the primary reflector, and the point would be the result of light that had reflected from both the primary and secondary reflectors. However, visual inspection did not support this expectation. Although the primary-reflector radiation did produce a line along the x-axis as expected, the secondary-reflector radiation did not converge on a single point; instead, it appeared divergent and scattered, and it was clear that the amount of radiation landing within the ten-inch cooking hole was less than assumed by the design.
