    F : 5 Minute Crafts is not a valid reference for a science fair project. See me after class.

    overall, sounds like it would take less effort to re-implement George Cove’s solar panels than to mess around with this …

      Or a solar concentrator and a steam / Stirling motor.

    That reads like something straight out of five minute crafts. Has anyone tried making anything similar with realistic results?

    These CD solar panels don’t work. The most you can really do without manufacturing them is to use LED’s as solar cells (since solar cells are basically IR LED’s used in reverse), but it’s way less efficient.
