Two students in renewable energies in Corte (Corsica), Baptiste Lavigne and Nathan Guérin wanted to built a solar fire machine. Without any budget and real workshop, they made it and called it the Batant (Baptiste/Nathan) !

The Batant travelled in France and gave to others the idea of building an Albatros (23 mirrors). It’s been realized by Jean-Pascal Baldacchino, Cécilia Bonnet and Baptiste Lavigne.
