Ghana Solar Cooker

Lead Contact: Brian Roehl, broehl2illinois [dot] edu

Mettings: 7:00 - 8:00, Monday evening, 106B6 Engineering Hall

Project Description: The goal of the Solar Cooker project is to develop a stored energy solar cooker.  Specifically, it will collect heat during the day, and use it for cooking in the evening.  In this way, solar cooking will become available to anyone, without a major change in cooking habits.  The major difference is that you can cook indoors, and at any time, neither of which a conventional solar cooker allows.  This project is being done in conjunction with the Arial Foundation which already has a presence in Afienya, Ghana, and Ensenada, Mexico.
