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.
Box might be simpler but hey, lots of tires are usually thrown away so it might be a good idea to find a creative use for them. Whatever you do, keep working on it and don't think you have to fall into a specific mold of what everyone else is doing. Rely on all the basic principles we've been talking about and think of them as you design whatever that ends up being. Reflection, insulation, black absorbs all light, mirrors reflect all light. Looking forward to seeing what you all come up with!
