2014-03-18T22:18:00.001+08:00

What will you do when you don't have fuel, gas or electricity for cooking or you are going green?
Build a solar cooker. A parabolic reflector, 1 meter diameter Capable of generating 600 watts of heat. Use black pot and cover. Boil water in 30 minutes. Cook 1 kg of rice in 1 hour. Welding of handle by Ronald. Turn and tilt the reflector to focus the sunlight to the pot. Free energy from the sun. The food is cook perfectly. Use black 5G safety glass to protect you from blinding sunlight.

I cook chicken macaroni soup.

Scrap removable 2 wires that holds the pot.

Scrap rotating handle GI pipe which I force to the ground. Free weld by Ronald.

Scrap Tightening handle made from bike brakes.

Tilting Reflector made of GI Sheet (30 USD). lug with bolt holes align to the focus.

Arm manually bend to perfection!!!

Back view. Sheets edges are hammer formed and soldered together.it takes time and patience. I 'll post later the flat pattern of each sheets.

closer look of the lug/ear

Cut and stick a 12 dollar adhesive silver plastic notebook cover to the surface of GI sheet. spray soapy water on both surface before sticking.

The making of the Third Solarcooker (Kalandearaw) Prototype

2014-01-24T18:47:00.002+08:00

I am making this Solar Cooker for two weeks now. I assemble a temporary base for the reflector so I can cook rice. I successfully cook rice. There are plenty of Sunlight at Perth Australia.

The reflector is Steel Sheets coated with Galvanize.It is not yet finish. The ideal reflector is mirror finish stainless steel.

I put the Kettle on top of the bricks and wait.

The rice is still wet but slowly cooking.

Finally the rice is cook. It takes 1 hour from 11 am to 12 pm.

Thank you.

The Kalan de Araw.

It take only 30 minutes continues sun exposure to cook steam rice on a black deep pan with black cover.

You may put weight on legs and tie the arm from moving when strong wind is blowing.

Use mirror finish as a reflector on a 950 mm diameter steel paraboloid.

Arm tube is formed from 3/4 inch Steel Pipe.

Reflector ring is formed from 1/2 inch steel Pipe.

This is a prototype drawing.

A solar cooker, or solar oven, is a device which uses the energy of direct sun rays (which is the heat from the sun) to heat, cook or pasteurize food or drink. The vast majority of solar cookers presently in use are relatively cheap, low-tech devices. Because they use no fuel and cost nothing to operate, many nonprofit organizations are promoting their use worldwide in order to help reduce fuel costs (for low-income people) and air pollution, and to slow down the deforestation and desertification caused by gathering firewood for cooking. Solar cooking is a form of outdoor cooking and is often used in situations where minimal fuel consumption is important, or the danger of accidental fires is high.

Solar cookers use no fuel, which means that their users do not need to fetch or pay for firewood, gas, electricity, or other fuels. Therefore, over time a solar cooker can pay for itself in reduced fuel costs. Since it reduces firewood use, the solar cooker reduces deforestation and habitat loss. Since there are about 2 billion people who are still cooking on open fires, widespread use of solar cookers could have large economic and environmental benefits.

Solar box cookers attain temperatures of up to about 165 °C (325 °F), so they can be used to sterilize water or prepare most foods that can be made in a conventional oven or stove, from baked bread to steamed vegetables to roasted meat. When solar ovens are placed outside, they do not contribute unwanted heat inside houses.

Mark 11: 11 - 26
11	And he entered Jerusalem, and went into the temple; and when he had looked round at everything, as it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
12	On the following day, when they came from Bethany, he was hungry.
13	And seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if he could find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.
14	And he said to it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again." And his disciples heard it.
15	And they came to Jerusalem. And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons;
16	and he would not allow any one to carry anything through the temple.
17	And he taught, and said to them, "Is it not written, `My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations'? But you have made it a den of robbers."
18	And the chief priests and the scribes heard it and sought a way to destroy him; for they feared him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.
19	And when evening came they went out of the city.
20	As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots.
21	And Peter remembered and said to him, "Master, look! The fig tree which you cursed has withered."
22	And Jesus answered them, "Have faith in God.
23	Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, `Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him.
24	Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
25	And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against any one; so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses."

Mark 9: 41 - 50

41 For truly, I say to you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you bear the name of Christ, will by no means lose his reward.

42 "Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung round his neck and he were thrown into the sea.

43 And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go to hell, to the unquenchable fire.

45 And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life lame than with two feet to be thrown into hell.

47 And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out; it is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into hell,

48 where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.

49 For every one will be salted with fire.

50 Salt is good; but if the salt has lost its saltness, how will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another."

38 John said to him, "Teacher, we saw a man casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he was not following us."

39 But Jesus said, "Do not forbid him; for no one who does a mighty work in my name will be able soon after to speak evil of me.

40 For he that is not against us is for us.

Sir 1:1-10

All wisdom comes from the LORD
and with him it remains forever, and is before all time
The sand of the seashore, the drops of rain,
the days of eternity: who can number these?
Heaven’s height, earth’s breadth,
the depths of the abyss: who can explore these?
Before all things else wisdom was created;
and prudent understanding, from eternity.
The word of God on high is the fountain of wisdom
and her ways are everlasting.
To whom has wisdom’s root been revealed?
Who knows her subtleties?
To whom has the discipline of wisdom been revealed?
And who has understood the multiplicity of her ways ?
There is but one, wise and truly awe-inspiring,
seated upon his throne:
There is but one, Most High
all-powerful creator-king and truly awe-inspiring one,
seated upon his throne and he is the God of dominion.
It is the LORD; he created her through the Holy Spirit,
has seen her and taken note of her.
He has poured her forth upon all his works,
upon every living thing according to his bounty;
he has lavished her upon his friends.

Ps 93:1ab, 1cd-2, 5

Responsorial Psalm

R. (1a) The Lord is king; he is robed in majesty.
The LORD is king, in splendor robed;
robed is the LORD and girt about with strength.
R. The Lord is king; he is robed in majesty.
And he has made the world firm,
not to be moved.
Your throne stands firm from of old;
from everlasting you are, O LORD.
R. The Lord is king; he is robed in majesty.
Your decrees are worthy of trust indeed:
holiness befits your house,
O LORD, for length of days.
R. The Lord is king; he is robed in majesty.

Mk 9:14-29

Gospel

As Jesus came down from the mountain with Peter, James, John
and approached the other disciples,
they saw a large crowd around them and scribes arguing with them.
Immediately on seeing him,
the whole crowd was utterly amazed.
They ran up to him and greeted him.
He asked them, “What are you arguing about with them?”
Someone from the crowd answered him,
“Teacher, I have brought to you my son possessed by a mute spirit.
Wherever it seizes him, it throws him down;
he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes rigid.
I asked your disciples to drive it out, but they were unable to do so.”
He said to them in reply,
“O faithless generation, how long will I be with you?
How long will I endure you? Bring him to me.”
They brought the boy to him.
And when he saw him,
the spirit immediately threw the boy into convulsions.
As he fell to the ground, he began to roll around
and foam at the mouth.
Then he questioned his father,
“How long has this been happening to him?”
He replied, “Since childhood.
It has often thrown him into fire and into water to kill him.
But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”
Jesus said to him,
“‘If you can!’ Everything is possible to one who has faith.”
Then the boy’s father cried out, “I do believe, help my unbelief!”
Jesus, on seeing a crowd rapidly gathering,
rebuked the unclean spirit and said to it,
“Mute and deaf spirit, I command you:
come out of him and never enter him again!”
Shouting and throwing the boy into convulsions, it came out.
He became like a corpse, which caused many to say, “He is dead!”
But Jesus took him by the hand, raised him, and he stood up.
When he entered the house, his disciples asked him in private,
“Why could we not drive the spirit out?”
He said to them, “This kind can only come out through prayer.”

Lv 19:1-2, 17-18

The LORD said to Moses,
“Speak to the whole Israelite community and tell them:
Be holy, for I, the LORD, your God, am holy.

“You shall not bear hatred for your brother or sister in your heart.
Though you may have to reprove your fellow citizen,
do not incur sin because of him.
Take no revenge and cherish no grudge against any of your people.
You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
I am the LORD.”

Ps 103:1-2, 3-4, 8, 10, 12-13

Responsorial Psalm

R. (8a) The Lord is kind and merciful.
Bless the LORD, O my soul;
and all my being, bless his holy name.
Bless the LORD, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits.
R. The Lord is kind and merciful.
He pardons all your iniquities,
heals all your ills.
He redeems your life from destruction,
crowns you with kindness and compassion.
R. The Lord is kind and merciful.
Merciful and gracious is the LORD,
slow to anger and abounding in kindness.
Not according to our sins does he deal with us,
nor does he requite us according to our crimes.
R. The Lord is kind and merciful.
As far as the east is from the west,
so far has he put our transgressions from us.
As a father has compassion on his children,
so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him.
R. The Lord is kind and merciful.

1 Cor 3:16-23

Reading 2

Brothers and sisters:
Do you not know that you are the temple of God,
and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person;
for the temple of God, which you are, is holy.

Let no one deceive himself.
If any one among you considers himself wise in this age,
let him become a fool, so as to become wise.
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in the eyes of God,
for it is written:
God catches the wise in their own ruses,
and again:
The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise,
that they are vain.

So let no one boast about human beings, for everything belongs to you,
Paul or Apollos or Cephas,
or the world or life or death,
or the present or the future:
all belong to you, and you to Christ, and Christ to God.

Mt 5:38-48

Gospel

Jesus said to his disciples:
“You have heard that it was said,
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
But I say to you, offer no resistance to one who is evil.
When someone strikes you on your right cheek,
turn the other one as well.
If anyone wants to go to law with you over your tunic,
hand over your cloak as well.
Should anyone press you into service for one mile,
go for two miles.
Give to the one who asks of you,
and do not turn your back on one who wants to borrow.

“You have heard that it was said,
You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.
But I say to you, love your enemies
and pray for those who persecute you,
that you may be children of your heavenly Father,
for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good,
and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust.
For if you love those who love you, what recompense will you have?
Do not the tax collectors do the same?
And if you greet your brothers only,
what is unusual about that?
Do not the pagans do the same?
So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect.”

Sribe to the steel sheets. Cut but leave 5 mm on outer cirlce. Solder all together. Solder 5 mm diameter wire on outer circle of cone 1 to reinforce and stiffness and remove sharp edge.

Here is a render of Kalan de Araw.

It collect light energy or photon energy radiated by the sun and focus at the pot.

With these type you could save your money for cooking. It will cost you USD 30 only to actually build these KDA.
Tools are soldering iron 100 watt, steel sheet cutter.
Go to welding shop for the arms and legs construction.
Put weight on legs and wire on arm if wind is blowing hard.
Your electric bill will be low on summer.

Cooking rice: add rice on the boiling water which twice the volume of rice. wait 30 minutes to cook the rice.

The reflector is compose of 5 pieces cut stainless steel mirror surface sheet welded (the thin blue horizontal line) or braze together to form a parabolic reflector (strips is a cone strip from analytic geometry), or a composite of Galvanize sheet and aluminum foil. the reflector can be rotate vertically and fix by the loosening and tightening the lock nut. It can rotate horizontally at PIVOT. 2 arms and pot holder are welded together. the 4 legs are welded to the pivot pipe.

Kalan de Araw is actually 3 pcs, the reflector to arm by lock nut, insert arm and pot holder to pivot with leg. you could put weight on the leg and tie the reflector during wind storm. The reflector could be easily rotate at a 3 axis because the center of gravity is approximately at the focus of the reflector and where the photon is concentrated.

Put your black pot with your favorite dish on the pot holder and focus the photon rays you collect from the Sun. after 45 minutes it is done. be sure there is plenty of sun rays (photon or light rays).

Hope you gain even a little in me these can only means a lot, really really lots. you know right.
