The National Taiwan University of Science & Technology researcher has specially designed the solar cooker to address emergency situations. The cooker can be set up in refugee camps to prepare foods right away. It can be assembled quite easily and its operation is simple.

The Solar Cooker’s mirror metal paraboloid modulates sunlight and heat coming down vertically to the focus. The pots, which are specially set up on the focus, absorb solar power to heat up the foods inside them. Solar energy is the most abundant power available across the world. Hence, the Solar Cooker is a great invention since thousands of people can get its support especially in time of emergencies. Check out the video below to know more about the Solar Cooker.

Components:
1. Sun positioning pointer: When the cooker faces the sun correctly, the pointer will have no shadow.
