solar energy journal
I need advices of things to consider while making a solar oven?
So far I know that thing works by day in the winter. It involves two boxes one smaller than the other and recuperated news journals as isolating between the two. Then foil wrap on the smaller box inside and a Plexiglas hard sheet on top.
So far, for the summer, I’ve thought that it would do good to make a dark opaque cover for when it is not in use and to think about some small closable aeration holes in case we cook something that steam in case we separate oxygen from hydrogen by accident.
Am I overseeing something?
Also, later I would attempt to do some heliothermic energy recuperation for some combustion dependency replacement.
(Sorry I’m French and I know how my English might suck!)
(to the second question; directly to the sun. I might upgrade after I know better what I do and if this is safe or not. And thank for the links. I’ll leave it one day or two and then choose best awnser.)
Do this sun oven sit directly out in the sun or are you using solar panels to power this oven?
If you so decide to use direct sun light you should take a look at this sun oven and build one similar.

This sun oven reaches a temperture of 350-400 degrees Farenheight.
Good Luck on your project
