Why is Solar Cooking Important?: 

Why is Solar Cooking Important? 2,000 million cook with wood (TFL) 20-25,000km2 of forest lost/year (UNEP) Contaminated water = 80% illnesses ARI (Acute Respiratory Infections) Solar Cooking = no wood & no smoke

Energy from the Sun?: 

Energy from the Sun? Solar Constant = 1367 W/m2 Clear sunny day = 83% = 1134 W/m2 Engineers= 1kW/m2

Energy from the Sun?:

Parabolic – Design Features: 

Parabolic – Design Features Size of reflector Reflectivity of reflector Accuracy of reflector Emmisivity of cooking vessel

Energy Calculations: 

Energy Calculations Area = 1 m2 Power = 700 Watts 1 litre of water = 7 to 8 minutes Temperature at focus = 420 deg C. (small black thermocouple)

Box Cooker – Design Features: 

Box Cooker – Design Features Greenhouse principle Area of collection Transmission of glass/plastic Emissivity of cooking vessel Insulation of box WAPI (Water Pasteurisation Indicator)

Trip to Peru: 

Trip to Peru 10 teenagers £30 of materials Woodwork Cardboard Metalwork Fun time

How did it go?: 

How did it go? Workshops Language! New skills Too small! Too big! Rainy season Years later….

What makes an Initiative Successful?: 

What makes an Initiative Successful? Choosing the right design for the right location. Not this one for £750 in Australia!

What makes it successful?: 

What makes it successful? Over 4kWhr per m2 per day. e.g. India, China, South Africa. Robust, easy to use. Perform well/efficient. Local materials. Very low cost.
