General Informations for Solar Cookers.



What kind of solar cookers are you going to build?

Introduction
 The solar cookers are practical cooking devices which are usable everywhere in the world even though the ones you are going to make are just educational materials for you. A handy-sized solar cooker can provide food enough for one person in an hour or two. This time, you are going to make your own solar cookers from scratch using the ordinary materials around us such as corrgated card board, aluminum foils, plastic bags and films, hollow metal bars, and so on. The plans we prepared are only for your reference. You are expected to improve your cookers based on your own ideas. The performance test on the last day is also a contest. Fight for your own pride! Of course the most important thing is to try if your idea really works or not. Even though it does not work as you expected, you are one step closer to the truth.

 The first students of our Science Camp in 2003.

Aim
1. Make one of four types of cookers introduced in above "General Information on solar cookers".
2. By comparison, study the difference of characteristics between the types.
3. Among the same type, study the difference of performance due to the improvements.
4. Study the difference of performance by tasting the food cooked by each cooker.

Any way, just enjoy the solar cooking! If you liked it, your knowledge on solar cooker would help you or your friends someday.
