I've certainly picked up anything new from right here. I did on the other hand expertise some technical points the use of this site, since I experienced to reload the web site many occasions previous to I may get it to load properly. I had been thinking about if your web hosting is OK? Not that I am complaining, but sluggish loading circumstances occasions will often impact your placement in google and can injury your high-quality score if ads and marketing with Adwords. Anyway I'm including this RSS to my e-mail and could look out for a lot extra of your respective interesting content. Make sure you update this again soon.. hello there and thanks to your info ?

You appear to know so much approximately this, such as you wrote the e-book in it or something. I feel that you simply can do with a few % to pressure the message home a bit, however other than that, this is excellent blog. A great read. I'll certainly be back.

Just place some reflective panels on the front and you're up and running. If only we had sun in the UK, I would love to test this concept out... The Microsun Solar Cooker. Hi Bryan

The GSO and it's ilk sell 1000's every year all over the world and the parabolics many times that I'm sure . Granted not the convenience or rapidity of a microwave and all those modern appliance but there is a great satisfaction to be gained by regulatly turning out a sun-cooked meal . The world is changing ....it should be simple to gut useless microwaves and turn them into box cookers :) Toasters ? I don't know ...never had one Rob , Spot with your comments .

With the exception of the hot pot, all the solar cookers you see in post do actually boil water. The radiant heat which is focussed on the pots for the various designs is plenty sufficient to boil water, dependent on how efficient cooker/s are with converting solar energy. Only one square metre of solar radiation hitting the Earth produces one kilowatt of energy. Once again it boils (excuse the pun) down to efficiency of design of solar cooker. Solar cooking is all about educating people on viable and alternative energy sources, for equatorial places like Africa and Asia, there are a plethora of solar cookers in use every day. THEY REALLY DO WORK. I have boiled water and cooked food with my <a href="http://www.solreka.com/parabolic-solar-cooker-kit-shallow-dish.html">solar cookers</a> and that's in February, in Birmingham, England, admittedly on a nice sunny day. May I suggest you try building one yourself, you will be pleasantly surprised, food tastes great.. and it's free energy. Why not purchase some <a href="http://www.solreka.com/chrome-mirror-reflective-vinyl-5-metres.html">reflective vinyl</a>, and line a pizza box, or cardboard box, and see the results for yourself. Solar cookers are extremely ECO-friendly, especially for 3rd world countries not needing to gather fire wood on a daily basis. There may come a time when we won't be reliant on microwaves, ovens, etc, we are living in very fickle times my friend, and great changes are on the horizon. With regards to your comment 'there is no possible way to focus all the light and energy at one single part', may I suggest you check out parabolic solar cookers, they are the most powerful design of all solar cookers, and you can MELT METAL with them. Please let us know more of your thoughts David. Hi David

It can maybe get to 250 or 300 degrees but in no way will it ever have enough heat the boil water. It would have to be at least 500 degrees or something like that to make it boil. Secondly, although the sun is quite hot bro, it is also over 10,000 miles away, making the incumbent radiation close to nothing due to its angle of incidence. And lastly, these will have no chance of ever selling becuase there is no need for solar power cookers/ovens when we have microwaves, ovens, and toasters in our kitchens already. And in addition, there is no possible way to focus all the light and energy at one single part bro. Take these facts into consideration when considering designs that are so called ECO-friendly.
