| Summary: | Solar cooker is a delightful alternative to
conventional cooking methods. As the rates of LPG Cylinders
hit the roof and due to the fact that the conventional cooking
fuels become scarce and cause considerable damage to the
environment, there has been an increase in the demand for an
alternative, environmental friendly cooking fuel. Meeting this
demand is the unique solar cooker that utilizes solar power to
cook up a meal. A research to develop, test and evaluate
various types of solar cooker was carried out with the major
objective to look into its suitability as an alternative means of
cooking. There are ten models of parabolic solar cooker that
have been built and tested to boil some amount of water in
Peninsular Malaysia environment and the results shown that
the fastest time in boiling the water is by using twelve angle
sided cooker. In addition to the evaluation of the solar cooker
based on the experimental results, the feasibility and possible
modification in the design to improve the efficiency are also
discussed. |
