Your eyes would burn in seconds if THAT long.
Here is the truth on solar eclipses. Without the moon, the sun is so bright that you do not look at it. And if you do, you see yellowish spots in your eyes for some time. This may be from permanant damage and the only way to tell for sure is to have your eyes examined before the eclipse and then again after. During the eclipse, it is actually "safer" than not during an eclipse because it is not so bright. HOWEVER...because it is not so bright you look LONGER. The UV rays are still there and your eyes are still burnt. So....want to take a chance? With or without the moon, it is only safe to look at the sun by reflection from a mirror to a wall or ceiling, or pin hole viewing.

The old professor says: A real stupid thing to do. You would do to your retina what a magnifying glass would do to the ant. The rods and cones would be literally cooked in a second or two and the damage is irreversible. Blindness in the area of the retina would be total where the focused rays struck.
