hey, Sue, I’m aware of this technology. I hadn’t thought that I would be able to use it, but now that I’ve moved back home from Assisted Living I may rig something up in the backyard. It just has to be where I can get it while holding onto things, as I am disabled and can’t walk very well.

I once saw a solar mirror collector an organization in Sudan was demonstrating. As they were setting it up, it was accidentally focused on a steel shipping container and was so hot, it cut a corner off the container, sort of like using a magnifying glass on ants. The amount of heat it produced when focused was amazing.

I enjoy making power from the sun. For me, it’s fun and not political(or religious!). I think the future is a mix of solar and fossil fuels. We have an rv I installed solar panels on and they can power our electrical requirements indefinitely. Some things are more efficiently powered with propane, such as the refrigerator and the cooking range, but both use very little fuel.

I like the idea of solar cooking. Fun stuff.
