Week 24 – May 12
Windshield Shade Solar Funnel Cooker
Lay the sunshade out with the notched
side toward you and the shiny side up.
Cut
the Velcro into three pieces, each about 2 inches long.
Hand sew one half of each piece, evenly
spaced, onto the edge to the left of the notch; sew the matching half of each
piece onto the underneath size to the right of the notch, so that they fit
together when the two sides are brought together to form a funnel.
Note: Can be sew on a sewing machine with a long stitch length the normal
length will cause the reflective material to tear out.
Press the Velcro pieces together, and set the
funnel on top of a bucket or a round or rectangular plastic wastebasket.
Place a black pot on top of a small cake
rack, placed inside a plastic baking bag. This is placed inside the
funnel, so that the rack rests on the top edges of the bucket or
wastebasket.
Since the sunshade material is soft and flexible, the rack
is necessary to support the pot. It also allows the sun’s rays to shine
down under the pot and reflect on all sides.
The funnel can be tilted in the direction of the sun. A stick placed across from one side of the
funnel to the other helps to stabilize it in windy weather.
