The issue with most solar ovens is that they’re flimsy builds that will stand up to only a handful of uses. however this one stands besides that stereotype. It’s big, sturdy, as well as utilized a great deal of math to efficiently gather the sun’s energy when cooking food.
This is the third version of the develop as well as each has included lots of improvements. The evident modification right here is a step from aluminum reflectors to actual mirror reflectors. These connect at a very carefully calculated angle to get the most power from the rays they are redirecting. The orange mounting brackets for the mirrors likewise serve as a storage area for transport. The rectangular reflectors fit completely between them (stacked on top of the tempered glass that makes up the transparent side of the cooking chamber).
The body of the oven doesn’t track the sun as well as one of the future improvements mentions adding tilt performance to the base. We’d suggest taking a look at a few of the solar tracking setups utilized for PV arrays.
