Investigation Of Reflective Materials For The Solar Cooker, Florida Solar Energy Center, John Harrison
FSEC Energy Research Center®
A critical task in developing a solar cooker is to identify reflector materials that would be both suitable for this application as well as economical. FSEC has conducted an extensive search for available reflective materials. This has included contacting reflective materials manufacturers as well as national laboratories that are currently working with private industry in developing reflector that can be used primarily on large concentrating solar energy devices. This investigation used a variety of resources. These included the FSEC solar library, web search engines, solar industry catalogs and directories, personal contacts, aluminum industry sources, solar cooker discussion groups, and a …

An Analysis Of Greenhouse Cookpot Design Considerations For Low-Cost Solar Cookers., Florida Solar Energy Center, Philip Fairey
FSEC Energy Research Center®
This analysis is prepared as part of a research project on low-cost solar cookers conducted by the Florida Solar Energy Center for the Dorothy Ann Foundation on behalf of Solar Household Energy, Inc. The overall purpose of the research project is to improve the performance, reliability and cost-effectiveness of low-cost solar cookers for use in developing nations. The analysis reported here concentrates solely on the cookpot and "greenhouse" design considerations for such systems.
