Members: Mehmet Akdag, Rodrigo Monsalve, Kaitlyn Hoffman and Trang Pham {center} {center} This semester, the small solar oven sub-team set out to build a compact and lightweight solar box cooker for use in the Ithaca climate. In addition to promoting the solar oven project at Cornell, we wanted to promote the sustainable solar cooking technology in Ithaca, given the resounding interest in environmentalism throughout the community. However, traditional box cookers constructed by the ESW teams have been designed for nearly vertical incident solar radiation characteristic of tropical climates, namely Nicaragua - and are not overly mobile. In order to have a functional oven available for demonstration at Cornell, we had to decide on a design with an angled window to accommodate for solar elevation, as shown below. {center} h4.
