I have made a simple tool for designing solar cooking dishes for unattended use. (Parabolic dishes must be attended so the poor cook ends up getting cooked too).
I tried making models with mylar but it did not work so good. Then I tried clay with little mirrors pressed into the wet mud and adjusted.
That worked like a charm.
Would any of you be willing to try it.
Basically the clam shaped reflectors are a whole new type of solar cooker. If you make one, it might be the first or among the first in the world of this type!
I think cob might be the best material to do a model.
Or if you are brave, you can go the whole hog and make a 1 meter fully operational clam shaped solar cook dish.
I will not have decent sun here till March. And frankly, the world needs this thing now.
