Interesting environmentally friendly kickstarter..

A means of cooking, without fuel, and you think that's off-topic to campers?

What a fab thing for poor and developing nations with limited access to energy sources. Not much chop for evening dinner though.

Only yesterday I was watching 'Bang Goes The Theory' (SBS 6pm) where they had a solar dish and were able to melt metal (easily) and rock!!! Can't recall the temperature of the concentrated beam but it was bl..dy hot!

Just found a Utube link to part of the story - 3500 degrees C at the focal point of this particular unit! The full story also showed other "furnaces" including a large outdoor dish which had an impressive energy harnessing capability.

Just found the full program (replay) on the SBS website for anyone interested. Another good reason for investing in non-carbon energy.
Episode 23, including solar furnaces

Fans though we are of solar energy, why would you spend all that dosh on a big bulky, heavy item when for one tenth of the price and a similar fraction of the weight you can have a small gas stove.

Also this could be dangerous to children and possibly not too good if you get an eyeful of sunlight from the dish.

Just paid $13.00 for a butane stove at Bunnings and $3.50 for 4 cans of gas to suit and......I can use it at night!
