:Thanks for your idea, we currently have a page of [[project ideas]] one of which aught to be a solar cooker. Feel free to place a link to your designs on that page. One idea that I have been kicking around is making a solar water distiller with a parabolic dish collector. Also, are you aware of the [http://solarcooking.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page Solar Cooking Wiki]? Also, I see that you have produced a video and http://www.approvideo.org might be interested in adding your video to their list. | |||

Solar Cooker
In response to your comment on the [EWB SFSU] page,
Sorry to be a pest. I invented the "mechanical mathematician" last summer (a new simple appropriate tech way to make a parabolic dish or mould), and I used it to make a large cob and kitchen foil solar cooker. (Which worked well). Then I used it to make a tracking solar accumulator which I am currently testing. I made 2 new designs for appropriate tech trackers for it. I built one and it works. But the other one (the clock based tracker) has more potential and I have NOT built it. Any engineers like to try it? It is at solarcooking.org on their tracking page. (Link in recent news there) It would be awesome if engineers would take an interest in any of this stuff! A team of half good engineers could do justice to it. Brian White
- Thanks for your idea, we currently have a page of project ideas one of which aught to be a solar cooker. Feel free to place a link to your designs on that page. One idea that I have been kicking around is making a solar water distiller with a parabolic dish collector. Also, are you aware of the Solar Cooking Wiki? Also, I see that you have produced a video and http://www.approvideo.org might be interested in adding your video to their list.
- Keep up the good work and if we decide to go with a solar cooker, you will be hearing from us.--David.reber 13:41, 9 May 2008 (PDT)
