Solar Cooker - Prototype

thingiverse

https://youtu.be/zOi9ENOl3c4 Take it camping, to the beach or your survival hut for cooking after society collapses. Solar cookers work in hot or cold weather from about 1 hour after sunrise until 1 hour before sunset. This model is a small prototype of a parabolic cooker measuring only 40cm in diameter. Watch as it sets a piece of paper on fire in seconds in the video. I've included a 1-meter version equaling the size of many commercially-available solar cookers, but I haven't yet designed the support structure for that one. The large one also would take around 3kg of plastic to print. In addition to the printed parts, only M3 screws and nuts, a 5/16" (M8) nut and bolt, a small piece of a mylar rescue blanket and spray adhesive are needed. Watch the video for how to make it shiny: https://youtu.be/fWK3PbSSsjs The only part requiring support during printing is the hub. ***Wear dark sunglasses.*** It's extremely easy to blind yourself otherwise.
