Progress Report

Solar Cooker

   Our solar cooker is a little funky right now. We wanted to switch to a tire but were stuck in how to insulate it. We might end up going back to a simple box. We tryed to build a wooden box but the nails would not stay in. We might switch to a cordboard box. Our group needs to talk about what we need to do. Our tire might be able to fit under the box to collect heat and then we can start to cook. We are going to tr and get together over the break to try to build it.

Solar Cooker

Solar Cooking

For Solar cooking I would recommend is the box type. Although this might not be the best to cook food it is definitely the cheapest. Did you know that some people in other countries live off only $2 a day. The box cooker  can be transported easily. This cooker also is the easiest to build. All you need is some aluminum foil an old shoe box or any other box. You can take some black spray paint and spray the inside to conduct  heat. This would be the best in other countrys because it is easy to use. All you do is put the food inside the dark box put a piece of ceran rap over the top so that heat does not escape. This is my recomendation on solar cookers.
