INTRODUCTION
At this point of time, in this age of technology, we tend to keep on using products, materials and inventions which come from non-renewable sources such as oil, petroleum, fuel, natural gas, etc. Just like in cooking, we need heat to cook the food, and to have that heat, we need a tank of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG). But the problem is, LPG comes from a non-renewable source, therefore, there’ll be a point of time that these non-renewable sources will someday become scarce to a point that it will totally be in short supply and will no more be available for future needs. The best solution for that is making a solar cooker. All we need is the energy from the sun and some other tools for this great product to be of great use, work, and help.
The target of this project is to develop this model of solar cooker that have the power and efficiency of the parabolic cookers, with the folding and cargo capacity of the panel cookers.
PROBLEM
Is it possible to make a solar cooker portable with less expense of money?
Does this solar cooker have the characteristics of light weight, efficiency and stability?
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The significance of the study is to produce a solar cooker that is portable and efficient in cooking foods. People can benefit this product because of its portability which can be brought anytime and anywhere. By using this product, people can save electricity and LPG and can also help the environment.
SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS
This study focuses on making a portable solar cooker that can be handy and the effectiveness on cooking foods. The materials and appearance of the said product are not included on the study.
HYPOTHESIS
Yes it is possible to make a
