I need advices for making a solar oven?

Question

Question Details: 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!)

Answer 1

you may create steam, but you're not going to seperate hydrogen from oxygen!

not sure what the two different boxes are for, but I wouldn't think there's any need to close it up when not in use. If it's solar, why not just leave it open so it will be hot when you need it?

if you want it to work in winter, you'll probably need to reflect more light into it. you can always use the reflection as a lid to keep the light out.
