SOLAR OVEN

A solar oven is an artefact used to cook meals using solar radiation. Solar ovens are a great benefit to the society because they impulse cooking with contaminating the atmosphere. This oven will impact positively in a childrens institution called "Casa Hogar Para Menores Liborio Espinoza".   It will be used to cook several types of meals and this way obtain money to increase the amount of money obtained.

This solar over has three main components which are:

·        Reflecting the sun light into the interior:

We will use mirrors to reflect the sun light into the tempered glass in the interior of the oven.

·        Converting the sun light into heat:

When the solar radiation enters the oven it gets converted into heat this is what makes able cooking the meals.

·        Maintaining the heat:

Insulation will be placed between the interior and the exterior oven boxes, this way it will concentrate the heat and the meal will cook uniformly.

The principle parts are:

·        Tempered Glass

·        PID

·        Mirrors

·        Motors

·        Insulation

·        Inner box

·        Outer box

Solar Energy

1. How many main types of clouds are there?

3

2. Can clouds increase solar irradiance reaching a photovoltaic?

No, it decreases.

3. Do solar towers that produce energy from the sun work at night?

No they don't because they use direct iradiance, and the isn't any at night.

4. Which of the three (or combination of) types of solar irradiance do photovoltaics use?

All three

5. Which one the countries below has the highest solar irradiance potential?

Germany

6. Is solar energy the solution?

It could be, if we were able to pronosticate the position of the clouds.

7. Should more focus be given to better and cheaper batteries to store energy for household use?

Yes because that way we could store te energy obtained at sunny days.

8. If satellite imaging was open-data, and anyone could access it, would that increase the use of solar energy systems?

Yes it would.

9. How would the world, as we know it, change, if free energy was available for all?

It would be less contaminated..
