SCHOOL PROJECT SET SOLAR STOVE COMPLETE

A “School Project Set: Solar Stove” is a simple and sustainable model that demonstrates how solar energy can be harnessed for cooking or heating food. It uses the principles of sunlight absorption, reflection, and heat retention to cook food without any fuel or electricity, making it an excellent eco-friendly project.

Concept

A solar stove uses sunlight as its energy source. It typically has a reflective surface to focus sunlight onto a cooking area, where the heat is trapped and concentrated, allowing the food or water to heat up.

How It Works

1. The aluminum foil reflects sunlight into the cooking area.
2. The black surface absorbs the sunlight and converts it into heat.
3. The transparent cover traps the heat inside, preventing it from escaping.
4. The insulation helps retain the heat, making the stove more efficient.

Educational Value

• Demonstrates renewable energy concepts and the greenhouse effect.
• Explains heat absorption, reflection, and retention principles.
• Encourages sustainable practices by showcasing a fuel-free cooking method.
