Cooking with Solar Power- By Vanilla media type="custom" key="3576744" Cooking with solar power! Hi, my name is Vanilla and my project is cooking with solar power. I built a solar cooker and tried to bake cookies in it. My question was basically, "can I build a solar cooker that works?"This is my of the most basic kinds of cookers. There are three kinds of solar cookers. They are box cookers, parabolic cookers, and panel cookers.To bulid a solar cooker, all you need is a few pieces of cardboard, alluminium foil, hanger wires,lots of glue, and 2 cardboard boxes that can fit into the other.For more details of how to build it, check out the link below.Okay, so let's focus on some solar cooker history! The first solar cooker that we knew of was built by Horace De Saussure.He was a Swiss naturalist experimenting as early as 1767. He achieved many things in his life. He was born and lived in Coches, near Genova. He was famous for climbing mountains like the Pizzo Bianca near Macugnaga to observe Monte. He was also famous for hosting a contest. He was offering a reward to the man who climbed a mountain in Chammonix. And he was also famous for showing spots like Zermatt and Chamonix. For more details of how to experiment with this and build it, check out the link below. Thanks for viewing!

For my project, I built a solar car using a model kit from "Fry's Electronics". After I built the car, I tested it out. I tested it out with four things: a solar panel, an Energizer Pile Alkaline, an Energizer Ultimate Lithium, and a Duracell Pile Alkaline. They each received five tests. Here are my results.
