Cantina West - Side by Side Parabolic Cooker Comparisons 

Thanks for the comments , if I get in a jam now I know to use my bar top to cook ! If it doesn't crack maybe a peice of black granite with solar reflectors around the outside underneath might make the perfect cooker.

⅓ ounce or ⅓ pound???

Were you making burgers for ants?

Hot air insulated pipe with a glass capture high temperature glass jar and black stone. Hot air will go up to your cooking pot end pipe hollow connector.

Thanks!

Put it in a garage when not being used!

There are also solar ovens that don't have dangerous focal points and keep enough heat in to cook in a Canadian winter.

I hope they were the same.

Sun tracker would be easy to design with a couple of photo cells feeding into an Opamp with feedback circuitry to motor to move either of two directions.

Actually I made it Michael several years back I have not done video and it was left in college they made it damaged I even gave more options, but now I am seeing it's demand And I am in job life If people like you support atleast by watching my video I will start from scratch again I gave suntracking at that time a It's a bit costlier but more costlier is making a reflector itself I mean for me

you gotta see the whole one

Like that one...? 3:09 😂😂😂

This is a solar cooking video, not ham radio

@@M70ACARRY you didn't read my comment well I guess! They are comparing aren't they? How can measure thing of your measurement is different on each test?

Thank you! Cheers!

That Mylar tape they use on the solar Burner for reflection has to be replaced every couple of years, and pressed down just before use every time

Use Alanod reflector sheets. They last for 25 years. They even give a guarantee for that.

Goldin Bennet Where can we buy that alanod sheets?

Go to www.alanod-solar.com. You will get worldwide contact addresses.

Thanks!

good Lord man, this is America, Celsius is a Socialist conspiracy

Tom, surprisingly the dish does not get that hot, ambient at most but the focal point of the beam will scorch your skin off in a minute, hundreds of degrees in that point, best to build a dish with the pot sitting out front so if it leaks it falls not on the dish. I have built a couple of cookers with a rotisserie base and an adjustment to hold the cooking pot away from the focal point once it starts boiling.

Amazing, is the U.S. Army built one at their Natick MA research facility that is still available for use out at White Sands AFB. Was designed to create extremely high temperatures. Uses venetian blinds to shield the dish and a large mirror to focus onto the dish which focuses onto the focal point furnace which is housed in like a room the size of an intermodal shipping container. Might even be one or more of those containers. I totally want to build one to make a power plant and do research regarding metal foundry operations potential capabilities with augmentation via gas or other fuel sources. I think ideally a closed loop generator like an external combustion generator would be the best idea so not to waste water unless potentially desalinating salt water in the process.... where then I think mining operations and possible chemical operations can be had with the saline source system design. Parabolic Troughs have a lot of potential capabilities too I think... though I'm not as confident of metal ore refining or foundry operations unless maybe like some sort of falling design with like a standing vertical trough maybe? Seems even to preheat the material would benefit to reduce fuel consumption and costs.

That's where I went. He should have had 5 pots, to heat at the same time to make up for any clouds passing. He could have found the proper position with a sheet of paper at the focal point very quickly.

so agree! can you send me the 5 pots so i can make the experiment work right?

Yes, but doing the tests within + or minus one hour from solar noon is probably close enough. Focus and using the same type of pot and water starting at the same temp probably matters more.

So does emptying a capsule of vitamin E on it!

Hahahahahahaha right !!! More like " Paranoia Cooker ", LMFAO !!!

Currently we only sell the CantinaWest solar burner parabolic. It is very efficient and has a lot of power. I would definitely recommend it.

me to!

heven?

And there is no need for calculations, you can just throw some smoke, and the focal will be revealed

" . . . generating power into a capacitor bank . . . " ??? For power as in electricity you need photovoltaic cells, not heat!

so agree! great for times when there is no sun!

Hahahahahahaha right !!! More like " Paranoia Cooker ", LMFAO !!!

Cartoon...

Ill do some reviews on them soon :)

Any shiny material works: aluminum, coated mylar, OR silvered mirror. Nothing reflects 100% but it doesn't have to.

I agree this test seemed very slanted

You sound like a fucking IT nerd

Gary, umm, boiling water is 100 degrees Celsius. So, "rolling boil" means just that temperature.

Sz. Wat... he said the last cooker got to 140 degrees but failed to boil. That means he's quoting temps in Fahrenheit, not Celsius.

I thought a full rolling boil meant 212F. Anything higher than that would be steam.
