Eco Factor: Solar-powered stove is made up of reused material.
We mentioned a combination of recycling and alternative energy in our previous post. The Solar Insider bench is a concept yet, but this fantastic solar-powered stove is a practical example of the same blend. The maker used a discarded 62-inch satellite dish, used CDs and other junk he found around. It stands on a base made up of 3” ABS plastic pipe filled with concrete and re-rod. After making sure that it’ll stand stable, the maker attached most of the CDs with the help of 1/8″ X 3/4″ fender washers and 4 by 3/8″ machine screws. For the outer two layers he found a tube of leftover silicon adhesive.
After completing the installation, a temperature of 400 degrees was easily achievable without any external expenses. You can find a detailed description in six steps at Instructables.
