A poligonal concentrator type solar cooker
What you have to determine
To make the development of the concentrator type solar cooker, you firstly need to determine the followings.
1. Radius of the cooker R
2. Focal length c
3. Division in the radial direction k
4. Division in the circumferential direction n
Then calculate li and bi according to the following guides.
After determining the dimensions, make a template to duplicate n parts. For the supports, see the following photo and make it in your own design.
paraREE.bas is a program written in QB64 to calculate the dimensions of the template.
