Solar Concentrated energy from a recycled satellite dish

Posted by Jonathan

This is made from:

  • old 6 foot satellite dish

  • recycled mirror bits

  • cheap or recycled conduit

  • spaghetti pot

  • liquid nails or other heavy duty glue

  • black muffler paint

He says in the video that this solar cooker boils a pot of water as fast (or faster) than his propane cook top.

Free energy from the sun!

Very impressive. Awesome build, well done. I build parabolic solar cookers as well, and I know just how hard achieving that focal point can be.

What temperatures did you manage to reach?, and what was the ambient temperature?
