Solar Cooking Systems • Box cookers • Inside Walls insulated, top transparent material, possibly glass or plastic to let light in but seal in heat • Walls covered in reflective material, cooking base colored black to absorb heat • Other shapes include a ‘bowl’ like design • Can’t be used at night • Does not use energy besides sun
Panel Cookers • Use shiny metal panels to direct sunlight to pot that is in plastic bag • Plastic bags reused for over a month • Larger families use more than one pot • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cooker
Portable ‘camp’ stoves • Use Butane and propane • Need fuel and too Expensive • http://www.safetycentral.com/cookersheaters.html
Possible Solutions? • Use simple methods to accumulate solar energy • Aluminum foil or reflective material • Shape of the stove to help generate heat • Use dark colors to help absorb sunlight • Optional use of plastic or transparent covering to trap heat
