Solar cooking
Solar cooking is a concept that seems to be moving slowly emerging from hibernation period. In the same way that the global dependence on fossil fuels, it appears that finally began to weaken, the general realization that there may be others, renewable energy options for traditional cooking with electricity, also seems to be getting some momentum, especially when it comes to the concept of industrial solar cooking .
Not that all this will come as a surprise to Scheffler, however, is undoubtedly a pioneer of solar technology, industry, especially when it comes to using his own invention, Scheffler parabolic solar oven.
Solar cookers are perhaps best known today, the design of parabolic solar cooker. A feature of the design of a parabolic solar cooker Scheffler has been the development of kitchen utensils in the industrial world, especially in a large bakery and kitchen.
The parabolic solar cookers and Scheffler collective to receive and reflect sunlight and thus warm aggressive role of water in a tank of boiling water and which induces the production of steam. This steam is directed and channeled into the kitchen where it is used as energy for cooking. An example of how to cook Tirupathithat Tirumala temple structure in the southern Indian city.
In addition, the sun shines directly into the pots and pans or cooking utensils Some sites act as a catalyst for solar cooking process later. The reflector is designed to maximize solar energy along the arc of the sun through the day.
Specific design principles used by Wolfgang Scheffler parabolic reflector rotated and reflected sunlight in fixed direction dictated by a heliostat. The result is a concentrated solar beam is directed toward the kitchen, where the reflector behind the transfer of concentrated sunlight to the bottom of the solar cooker, which induces heat and cooking.
