Kyoto Box Solar Cooker

Using energy from the sun, the KYOTO BOX is a $5 solution to the mounting problems faced by 3 billion people who rely solely on wood for cooking fuel.

With the KYOTO BOX we can:
1. Help stop deforestation
2. Help remove indoor smoke pollution. 1.6 million deaths every year
3. Cleans water. Water-borne diseases kill 10 million people every year
4. Lowers cost of energy since the sun provides free fuel
5. Reduce spinal cord injuries from carrying firewood
6. Reduce rape and landmine injuries from young girls fetching firewood
7. Reduce time waste from fetching firewood and allows kids to attend school
8. Cook food slowly, retaining important vitamins
9. Reduce fire hazard
10. Reduce CO2 emissions

Truly Amazing Advanced Solar Cell from Israel

http://www.homemadepowerplant.com/?ho... Professor David Faiman, Head of the Ben-Gurion National Solar Energy Research Center and developer of a new solar cell that can produce over one thousand times more electric power than a conventional photovoltaic or PV, states, 'The achievement is that we separate out the collection function of a photovoltaic cell to the light conversion to electricity function. When we collect the light, instead of using a huge area of solar cells, we use an equal area of cheap glass mirrors and they are curved in such a way as to concentrate the light onto a very small solar cell, the size of just one cell, and in this way you concentrate the light a thousand times and you can get a thousand times more power out of a small cell.' This is truly an amazing development with several practical applications.
