This solar cooker is a beast

I am impressed! I found this post through http://www.solarcooker-at-cantinawest.com. I live in Niger – the world’s least developed country in the world – and am sure that solar cooking is a key element to a sustainable future for Africa.

I will like to learn whether the steam based cooking system will also have the facility to bake, grill, fry and roast or will it produce only steamed food. Also, how is safety managed in this high pressure steam environment. Incidentally, US$1/meal is a huge amount for an economy where a hot meal is availabe for equivalent of US12 cents. I believe that even for an economy like the US, an overhead of $1per meal will be too high for the ordinary citizen.

I would have thought a system based on the solar cookers used in the war would be more efficient, this thing is just oo big

20,000 meals/day * 260 work days/year = 5.2MM meals served/year.
At a $5MM investment, they have a $1/meal overhead, for the first year.
I wonder what the maintenance costs of the system are over time.
It appears in this case that not only have they found a Green Solution, but one that is low cost and after recouping the initial cost, actually cost saving.

Yes, how a save of time, imagine people at the take-away have to wait millions of years for their curry. Anyway, a great application of sun-energy, this time without (the inefficient) interference of electricity. Great stuff, nice to know that upcomming economies are also active on the green front, and not only burning fossil fuels at a high rate to achieve an economy catch-up.

It seems as focusing solar energy to produce heat is gaining momentum, there is another company that recently announced a power station which converts heat-to-energy and it claims to be the cheapest source of solar power currently available.

This is so cool. This cuts the million year link it takes for the sun to produce stored energy in fossil fuels. It only takes 8.13 minutes for light to reach us from the sun. What a time saver!
