i didnt see her nutritious garden spot beside her government provided social housing experiment. perhaps the 50 pound bags of rice and beans are inside the bungalow. i fear a solar cooking is not the answer to her life long misery. some believe the answer to her problem is taking from me untill i too have nothing, that way the takers of the world become millionares and the rest are reduced to slavery. i guess i have already now seen the outcome of such a social disaster.
she didnt choose a very good father for her children,perhaps they are wood rape kids. bush babies if you will.not the issue, in america 48 percent of women are unmarried as well.
@pshinspections true, so it cannot be used because its unfair to those with no sun maby we can tax the sun to make it fare and give the money to the shade handicapped. i will be the administrator you be the tax collector and we will me millionaires real quick.
I'm not a critic of solar cookers, I like em. But seriously? 1 million people die from cooking with wood? And the small amount of sticks burned has more than a negligible effect on co2 emissions?
hmmmm... choices choices....(a) walk 4-6 hours daily to collect firewood (b) go without cooking your 1 meal a day (from poverty) because you can't afford charcoal or (c) use an affordable solar cooker. To the critics of solar cookers- hmmm, difficult decisions to make and difficult to see the impact on lives of people who don't live in your industrialized countries....
I was stunned to see this inventor receive such an award when such designs appeared to have been around for ages. However it is the simplest design over most and does the job. If it can pasteurise water, cook most available foods, free up time, resources and limit danger, then its a winner. Solar cookers work anywhere. I'm in Manchester UK and use every sunny day to cook or brew drinks with for free. Why not? Fair enough its been largely pissing it down since Easter but hey, time to refine.
Reflector- Holy Cow! You aren't kidding, when I finally saw the cooker in the video- what the crap!? Just paint your clothes silver and stand besides a cardboard box just as well!
i like how she walked under a power line with the bundle or wood. solar ovens are not the answer folks, i've been making these since i was a kid. the environmental cost to produce the aluminum foil and cardboard is too high, the temperature cant get over 120 degrees.... etc..
the answer here is to make energy cleaner, cheaper and without all the nuclear potential we currently have.
I didn't see the water boiling and I doubt that without proper insulation it would. Moreover, temperature of the inside would be limited to the combustable temperature of cardboard.
Solar cooking and purifying water with solar ovens or parabolics is a fine way to use the sun's energy, no matter what country you live in. I use my solar ovens to cook my food in the USA. So do others in my family who are far from poor. Some big high tech companies are using solar ovens in the USA as well. The food tastes better and it is non polluting technology. Solar cooking is politically neutral. It's free, it's clean, and it's available almost everywere on the planet.
Maybe they could gain the skills to build a technological society if they didn't have to spend all their time gathering wood and finding safe water. Don't you know cultures and people can't advance until their basic needs are met? Why don't you try living without electricity and running water for a weekend or a week.

mmm, that black paint seem great for cooking, I think I'll paint my oven with it, I wonder if the thieves and rapists use the boxes while they are waiting in the forest. My god how stupid are you people! The greenies are socialists, it doesn't work. Face it.
BTW, this won the inventor a $75,000 prize. His plan is to have corporations distribute them in exchange for carbon credits, and earn him an estimated $26-40 annually per box.
Some of the "benefits" are amusing. Slow cooking? The big problem there is burning wood indoors for heat. This solar cooker isn't going to help there, just make cooking take up more of their day. Greens don't seem to like progress for poor nations. I agree with spiracy; let them--or help them--industrialize.
Brilliant idea, but I think it should be made of something more sturdy than cardboard. Or a separate model offered in a sturdy heat resistant plastic.
Can this technology/simple-elegant-solution be utilized in hot water solar panels for heating homes? Then can the solar heated water be utilized for radiant floor heating? Free home heating could revolutionize the use of energy in America.
An efficient technology for heating water for domestic use using solar energy already exists and is used in many places (e.g., in my house in Israel, from April till September, we hardly ever use electricity to heat water for showers etc.).
As for using the hot water for heating your house, the problem is that usually, if the sun is heating strong enough to heat water, it also heats your house directly. It might be useful to use the solar energy to cool your house.
Africa is the richest continent on the planet. minerals, oil....you name it. They don't need our money or help. They are not joking when they call us the white devils.
BUT it is an excellent alternative in the short term, while we wait, and pray, for the socio-economic situations in these developing countries to improve.
It is not a miracle solution, one does not exist.
This solar cooker only cooks 10L of water in as many hours. That is a whole day in the sun. But one can put the water on in the early morning and leave it unattended for the day and have 10 liters of clean drinking water available every day.
In response to agungk, it is naive to think that this will "increase the chance of food poisoning" and limit "food recipes." People that need these stoves have never even seen a recipe in their lives. If they manage to get their hands on a chicken for dinner 3 times a week they consider themselves lucky.
People in these harsh economic and political unstable areas live of maize(corn) meal, rice and sometimes potatoes on a good day. All easily cooked in this cooker.
A household could potentially even acquire more than one of these boxes. And use the second one to cook rice, chicken, potatoes etc at 80 degrees celcius (an easily obtained temp with these solar cookers, 100+ is harder to obtain for cooking water) which can provide at least one relatively decent meal for the family every day.
Furthermore just because a family has a solar cooker doesn't mean they will never again light a fire, it simply means that they now have another option. We in the western world do not realize how lucky we are to have an option. Even in hard economic times we can still chose, am I making rice and ground beef tonight on the stove, maybe some noodles or am I going to drive McDonalds...
Instead of spending 3 hours plus finding fire wood, a daughter might not need to help her mother and go to school. And the mother now has time on her hands(never mind relative safety and health benifits) to spend her time doing somethings else. Maybe some sort of tradecraft at home, more time looking after young ones, allowing older children to go to school instead parenting their own siblings.
Yes I know, this will not solve all of the problems in the world in one sweep, but for people on the ground: It is liberating to have another option, a choice.
but...increase the chance of food poisoning to improperly cooked foods.
also reduces varieties of food recipes and food materials that can be cooked.
please...if you want to improve the live of poor people in africa and elsewhere, consider giving them techs that actually work without them flipping over backward to adjust themselves to the techs limitations.

bet they've tasted how good baked snakes are, hanven't they? or some roots that has to be cooked on high temp fire or it get hard and poisonous? now everything has to boiled (not actually, cause it never hot enough to boil)...any poison would still be in the roots...
Someone you can tinker with. Just to fulfill your curiosity, or what ever the reasons they might be (to save the trees, to empower the women, etc.)
Give them something that would actually ease their life without imposing your idealism or agenda, etc...etc...not something that they have to mold themselves painfully to conform to the limitations you impose.
Yes...I've come to suspect any such 'good intention'. Though they might be genuinely sincere from the givers hearts, some objective observations would prove they are little more that 'feel-good' works to boost the givers egos so they might consider themselves holier-than-thou individuals. though they rarely realize it.
even worse yet, some might use it to the financial benefits (from donors) for themselves. imagine, getting a thousand grand for every 2 dollar crappy cardboard cooker given!
