ABSTRACT
This study aimed to find out if an old shoebox and a thick tin foil can be converted to amore useful piece of cooking equipment. The feasibility of reflective solar heated grill that is built from a cardboard box, tin foil, and poster board as alternative cooking equipment was studied in this research project. The cardboard box was cut and shaped. The tin foil is settled in the middle making it looks like a slide. We go outside in the heat of the sun. The barbeque sticks were placed in the spot where reflection of the sunlight focuses on the hotdog .just like a real skewer the hotdog were cooked therefor minutes. Tasted it and voila. Real hotdogs on stick just like mom used to cook.
CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A solar heated grill can be built from a cardboard box, tin foil, and poster board. Sunlight hits the reflective surface and focuses on the hot dog held in the center. Students can work in pairs or individually if there are enough materials. This is a parabolic cooker we built a while ago, so unfortunately we can't show step by step photos of its construction. However, it's relatively easy to see how it was put together. It makes a great Physics project. Unlike most, you'll actually get some use out of it afterwards. Some of the principles it demonstrates are:
1. Optics: focusing parallel rays of incident light through the use of a parabolic mirror.
2. Energy transformation: light to heat
3. Renewable energy: solar power
OBJECTIVE
General Objective: This study of Solar Heated Grill aim to find out if an old shoe carton box can be useful in making a alternative cooking machine.
Significance of the study: * This serves as an eye-opener for those who don’t have a grill in their backyard. At the same time they can also reduce their solid waste materials at home because their about to use
