the problem with this is those of us who live in a place with 300 days of cloudy weather. I find myself doubtful that this will be worth the storage area it would take up most of the time. to bad though, it's a good idea for sunny areas.
150 TO 190 degrees is not a failure.... that is a 2 - 4 $ mylar emergency blanket cooking a meal or sanitizing water as lond as you have some kind of container, in a survival situation.
With some fine tuning (supplies) that stove can reach 300.
I don't get why people post videos of experiments gone wrong. I'm glad I figured out after the first few minutes that maybe I should go to the end and see if it was a failure or not before watching the whole thing.
Hi, I am planning to make a solar oven and gluing aluminum foil to the sides of a box....do you know if the glue gets too hot from the cooking if it will cause toxic gas to contaminate the food? is there a certain type of glue i should use?
I noticed you use "milar" (mylarr?) for heating your oven. It looks a lot like just regular aluminum foil. So ---- would aluminum work just as well for heating your food? Just curious..... :)
Or you could cook it more evenly and quicker.... Use a magnifying glass to ignite a small pile of leaves mixed with small twigs, slowly building up the fire with small twigs until you have a sustained fire with small logs. Put the pan on top of the fire and cook it properly, and still without using coal or fuel.
maybe you should glue a mirror into the top of the box and cover it with glass or Plexiglas.....It would be really good if you could cover it with some sort of magnifying glass.
Exactly, solar cookers are a pipe dream. If it was a solar cell powered burner (electric) then it would be viable. If you started a fist-sized fire you could have cooked that oatmeal in minutes. Same thing as the solar shower in my crv, it gets warm but not really hot like I prefer. I dunno if it's the latitude or something, the georgia sun seems intense enough but other than solar panels, solar stuff won't do here.
Sounds like a doable idea. I would have used a spray adjesive for a smother finish on the mylar. I'm not ready to convert my Coleman stove into a solar cooker just yet. But, if I come across one at a garage sale or a thrift store, I surely will.

@slee6009 yes aluminum foil and mylar have similar properties but mylar is thinner and in my opion hotter

@papaown wood isn't a fuel.... learn something new everyday!
Burning wood as fuel in simple fires (non-gassified fire pits) is a major health risk factor in many parts of the world.

The idea is nice, but it needs refinement. Yes you have valid points. were you able to refine it?

The oat meal did not cook it just sat so long it soaked the water. Cooking fish or chicken or burgers would have been more impressive.
