Funny, they reviewed something almost exactly the same on the Gadget Show on Monday. This idea already exists and when it was used in a real situation it failed miserably. I think these solar panel ideas for BBQs just don’t generate enough direct heat to really work. I’d love to see a video of this in action to see if it actually works.

I’d like to convey my regards to Mr. Cheng-Tsung Feng regarding the concept. But i’ve tried making a solar cooker and to cook something, anything, the scale of the model has to be quite big. Its not really something you can carry around like the design suggests. Its a good design but i’d say it needs a few tweaks and you need to review it better.

Great! Maybe there could be something to attach weights like sandbags. I use a lot of umbrellas and beauty dishes for photo, and they can easily fall because of the wind. Wouldn’t want that to happen with the boiling water and stuff.

Green concept, but this is done before: http://www.kerkenes.metu.edu.tr/keco/zdwn/09sgpraporek1.pdf Although it is in Turkish, you can understand from the pictures… One of the most important difference is the angle adjustment according to sun! in your movie, the products stands still, but in the real life the sun don’t! Don’t forget this

Well, based on the pictures of the cooked soup, it looks like he did his/her homework. I think however, that making a fire pit is going to work better since fire is free…a proven system of thousands of years.

Seems unncessary. Any cub scout or boy scout can cook a full meal utilizing a cardboard box and aluminum foil:http://scoutingaround.com/boy-scouts/camping/78-cardboard-box-oven.html

The disadvantage to your reference is that it’s very large. The Ocak is designed for villagers in the Third World, whereas the Solar Cooker is designed for backpackers and nomads: it can be easily packed up and carried.

Fire is free … but difficult.
