Large Parabolic Solar Baskets for community cooking
- December 2016: TinyTech Founder and Director, Veljibhai Desai, writes: I have also developed unique community parabolic solar cookers for 5 sq mt, 10 sq mt, 30 sq mt, etc which are highly suitable for refugee camps, mid-day meals, schools, hostels, hotels, restaurants, hospitals, offices, small factories, clubs, associations, communities, small home scale cooking related business etc. Their unique features are listed below:
Solar Basket 5sq. mt aperture area, 2.54mt (100") diameter
This basket is the smallest of our solar baskets. It does not require any foundation. Fabricated channel and square plate foundation base frame is provided, which can be placed anywhere and the basket can be erected in only a few hours. It gives 2 to 2.5 KW of heat power. Temperature at focal point reaches up to 250° C(482F). This basket can cook for a maximum of 60 people in one hour.
The design of the basket is able to be completely folded for easy transport. Entire paraboloid is made of horizontal circles of round rods and vertical parabolic mild steel strips. Basket paraboloid is in loose parts in 6 segments, and the revolving stand, foundation stand, vessel stand etc will go into one box or bundle, which packs to less than one cu mt. Total net weight is 77kg(170lbs). Manufacturing of this basket is in place and can be shipped within 24 hours of ordering.
Solar Basket 10 sq mt aperture area, 3.6 mt (142") dia.
The 10 sq. mt. Solar Basket
This basket has been extensively tested scientifically for cooking rice, as well as for water heating for scientific calculation of KW output. The basket does not require any foundation. A fabricated channel and square plate foundation base frame is provided, which can be placed anywhere, and the basket can be erected in only a few hours. From extensive experimentation we concluded that it is able to provide 4.5 to 5 KW of heating power. Temperature at focal point reaches up to 490 degree C(914F). This basket can cook for 125 people in one hour. So for 100 to 500 people, this basket will be quite suitable with 1 to 4 baskets.
The design of the basket is able to be completely folded for easy transport. Entire paraboloid, revolving stand, foundation stand, vessel stand etc will go into one box of 67" x 34" x 20" which becomes less than one cu mt. Total net weight is 220kg(484lbs).
