The New IdeaThe New Idea

• Sun from above

• 2x sun from below

• Big mirrors to avoid tracking

• Convection working for us (Heat goes up)

• Less glass to pass through

We WantWe Want

More Energy / More Energy / Higher Higher Temperature (box)Temperature (box)

Less Tracking (3 Less Tracking (3 hour tracking-free)hour tracking-free)

Eye Safety (only 1.6 Eye Safety (only 1.6 times sun times sun concentration)concentration)

Robustness (long-Robustness (long-lasting material)lasting material)

Thoughts On The CookerThoughts On The Cooker Several concepts:

• Mirror/mirrors on top

• Absorbing walls inside

• Opening mechanism

• Different fixation

• Glass cage on bottom

• Mirror(s) on bottom

• No Absorber

Thoughts On The CookerThoughts On The Cooker• Frame with insulated absorber

• Protective aluminium-cage on the outside

• Insulation inside (white/silver)

• Mirror on the bottom

• Glass cage with mirrors on the bottom (not shown)

What is it capable of?

Cooking Power

Cooking Power = Absorption of the sun on the cooking plate.

Depends on: Absorption of the cooking plate Reflectivity of the mirrors Intensity of the sun Loss through angles Reflection of the glass

Power from above Cooking Power = Power from above + power

from mirror 1 + power from mirror 2

Power from above = sun intensity * cooker size * glass reflectivity * absorption efficiency

Power from above = 800 W * 0.1 sqm * 0.9 * 0.9 = 65 W

Reflectivity of double glass

Size of the cooker

Sun intensity per sqm

Absorption efficiency

Power from mirror Power from mirror = sun intensity * cooker size *

mirror reflectivity * cos(sun angle + 2*mirror angle) * glass reflectivity * absorption efficiency

Power from mirror = 60 W * cos (angle)

Cosinus(angle) between 0.5 and 0.9

Power from both mirrors approximately 65-100 W

Comparison with Box Cooker

Box Cooker:

Power from above = 65 WPower from mirror < 55 W

Max. Cooking power = 120 W

New Cooker:

Power from above = 65 WPower from Mirrors = 65-100+ W

Max. Cooking power = 165+ W

And: • 3 h tracking free• better heat storage

ConclusionConclusion

Cooker is under construction Cooker is under construction (outside!)(outside!)

Expected cooking-power around Expected cooking-power around 125 125 WW
