Easy Solar Oven

Today, you are going to learn how to make a solar oven that can cook food and reach 200 degrees.

1. Materials:
2. Enough wood to be able to make the solar oven how big you shall want it.
3. Reflective material (Mirror or Reflective Paper such as tinfoil (Optional but recommended) A way to pivot the base from the cooker in able to get the sunlight it can. We used nuts, bolts, and washers.
4. Thermometer

• Tools:
• Table or hand saw
• Nail gun
• Clamps

1. First, we took our plywood and drew a trapezoid that bottom has a dimension of 7'' and the widest top that has a dimension of 14''
2. Next, we placed the 4 pieces of plywood upon each other and clamped it down so it could stay together while we were cutting with our hand saw.
3. We cut out the trapezoids and cut the reflective paper so it could stick nicely to the wooden trapezoid.
4. Then we stuck the paper onto the wooden trapezoid.

1. We took each of the trapezoids and attached them together making a trapezoidal prism by using the nail gun and attaching them so the nails didn't go in diagonal.
2. We fixed reflective paper so the entire inside was covered with it.
3. Next, we spay painted the outside of the box in a silver to make it look nicer.

1. Next, we made the bottom of the cooker frame 7.5'' x 7.5'' in a thicker wood than the plywood.
2. Then, we covered the bottom in the plywood and painted the entire inside black so it absorbs all the light
3. Finally, we made two identical triangles with a base of 12'' and a height of 7'' ,and connected the box and then used nuts and bolts to connect them together, then put a washer in between the box and the stand.

1. First you take the trapezoidal and place it upon the base so you can start cooking.
2. Then you move the base according to where the sun is to get full heat.
3. you can make a mini hole like we did in able to tell the temperature without getting in the way of the sun.

Thanks For the Time!!!
