Grilling renewable energy with Helios for a delicious treat!
Sameer Kumar | Jul 31 2008


Your first look at the Helios Solar Grill will give you an impression that you are viewing a space station that is equipped with the state-of-the-art technology to track down any impending attack with its space age dish and to fire it down. It is as finely shaped as a missile interceptor on the deck of the best US submarines. But the Helios Solar Grill is designed for much quieter and happier times when you lay back and enjoy that fine dinner in your backyard or on the beach.


Helios is a grill with the energy-efficiency of a solar oven. It stores upright to keep a small footprint and easily cantilevers open and locks in place, when you are ready to cook. In order to maximize safety, Helios is designed so that the reflective solar dish is pointed away from you while cooking. If the time of day or weather is not appropriate for solar grilling, it features a retractable plug, stored in the base, as an alternative energy source. Rarely will you ever see something so green look so stylish and sleek with great amount of energy consumption.

Helios utilizes a reflective parabolic dish to focus sunlight onto a solar receptor, transforming it into usable energy. The energy travels from the parabolic dish to the grilling platform and heats a coil in order to cook food. It is not very often that one could go green and healthy in such a cool and wonderful way. It not only saves on plenty of Carbon-Emissions but surely would save enough amount of energy produced from conventional sources across the planet. So let the happy times go green!

hehehe you can fool the Martians with this ...Star Wars using grill!!

Ya, point it at them and they will flee for cover! Maybe we can use it as a decoy. Anyway, it really is nice to see how awesome green technology is going. Green living is more cooler now than conventional life and that is nice for the planet.
