| This team is using a parabolic trough focusing sunlight onto a black pipe to boil water in a closed system including a pressure cooker. The temperature and pressure in the pressure cooker are adequate to sterilize medical instruments. The goal of the project is to provide an inexpensive, easily constructable and useable autoclave for clinics. |

Team Members: Kristin Chu, Aiden Cortell, Jessica Duncan and Michelle Yanda h6. {center} The group will design and build a stove top style cooker using a parabaloid reflector below and in front of the cooking area to reflect light to the bottom of a cooking surface. A sufficiently large reflector will provide enough energy to allow grilling or pan frying on the cook surface. Meeting Minutes |
