Yes you can make a solar oven of your own. In hot
climates sun gets hotter and you can use this energy to cook. Before
constructing you must understand the concept, we use a box as an oven the walls
of that box should be reflective like mirrors, usually we use aluminium foil
for this purpose. Walls should be double or having an insulated material like
thermocol. Box should be covered with a plastic sheet or a glass to trap the
heat inside the box. Use some outer reflectors to reflect the sunlight straight
on the top of that glass or plastic sheet to penetrate in the oven and be
trapped.
Now we are ready to make our solar oven, get a
thermocol box, normally used to carry cold medicine and food.
Or you can use thermocol sheets to make a box, 1 inch
thick sheet is appropriate.
Now paste aluminium foil inside the box if you get
one, or on the Thermocol sheets and then make a box of them keeping aluminium
foil inside.
Now place a plastic sheet or a glass sheet on the top
of that box do not paste it because you have to put the cooking bowl inside the
oven, use aluminium bowl if possible it will absorb more heat.
Now you had to make a cover for the oven as a
reflector use cardboard or Thermocol sheet to make one.
Your Solar Oven is ready to cook place it in the
sunlight, put a cooking bowl inside with food to cook, give it time to be
cooked.
You can use some extra reflectors to boost the
processes.
