Working of a solar cooker?

A Solar Cooker is a device that uses sunlight as an energy source to cook food. They can be of any shape but the most famous is the box shaped cooker. The most effective material for a solar cooker is metal painted black to absorb light. It's top plane is made out of glass to trap heat (Similar to the green house effect). A vessel (painted black) is placed in this heater containing the food. A solar heater has a mirror that helps concentrate sunlight to a particular point/space. A time taken for a solar heater to prepare food varies greatly according to the quantity and type of food, equipment being used, sunlight available and air temperature.


How many solar panels will be required for a solar system - four rooms - 3 solar fans - fridge - lighting - cooker - heater - mobile charger - tv and other uses?

To calculate the power used it is necessary to add up the power requirement: typical power values would be solar fans 0, fridge 20 watts average, lighting 200 watts, cooker up to 3000 watts, heater up to 3000 watts, mobile charger 3 watts, TV 150 watts. Solar panels of around 1.2 metres by 1 metre produce about 220 watts in maximum conditions, or about 15 watts out of direct sunlight. So without the heater or cooker a couple of panels should do it on a sunny day, otherwise add 15 panels for the cooker OR the heater.


How does a Parabolic solar cooker work?

it uses solar power to cook food and the box panels reflect the sunlight.


What form of energy would a solar cooker use?

A solar cooker uses solar energy, which is the energy from sunlight. It captures and converts this energy into heat for cooking food without the need for additional fuel sources.

What solar energy make food?

A solar cooker, also called a solar oven, is simply a cooking device that uses energy from the sun to cook food. It doesn't require any electricity, which makes it the perfect cooking device to use in remote areas or areas where there is no access to a power grid. The solar cooker has three major functions. The first function is concentrating the light from the sun into one small area. Reflective materials are used to do this, and the result is that the heat is more concentrated in the solar cooker. The second function is turning the sunlight into heat. This is accomplished by using a substance that can absorb the heat from the sun and store it for cooking purposes. The third function is trapping the heat created by the sunlight. Trapping the heat helps to cook food more evenly and means that the solar cooker can be used on both hot and cold days.

What are fives uses of solar energy?

Solar energy means energy from sun is the ultimate source of energy for all living organisms.our food comes from plant and plant get them by using process known as photosynthesis (i.e by using sunlight leaves prepare food). Solar energy are used in various way. It is used to generate electricity without pollution. It is used to cook food in solar cooker. It is used to heat water through solar water heater. It is used in solar cell. Now a day ,traffic lights are working on solar energy. Farmer use solar energy to dry their grains and crops. In this way solar energy is safe and secure to use because it spreads no pollution.
