High-efficiency solar oven for tropical countries
In today's society, pollution is becoming an increasing problem. Since the solar energy is a limitless clean free energy that can be harnessed, suggestions have arisen such that solar energy can be incorporated in our daily lives to produce energy to conserve other non-renewable energy. Solar o...

Solar oven refers to a type of oven which uses the sun's energy to cook food inside of it. It has been planned to design a high efficiency solar oven which is convenient and comfortable for all kind cooking, baking and heating with high efficiency without spoiling the foods nutrients.
