Foldable solar cooker (working prototype).
- Oak dowell, nylon, pvc, mylar, hardware.
- 24" x 5" x 5" (folded)
This somewhat crude (but functional) prototype cooker folds from backpackable proportions to a 20" radius semi-parabolic reflector, with a hybrid umbrella/camp stool mechanism. A skewer through the center of the "dish" holds grillable foods like hotdogs and kebobs. (Cooks a hot dog in about 12 minutes on a sunny day).

Easy to spike into the ground by hand, wraps up tight with a built-in strap for transportation.
