Our Mission:
Design, Build, and Test a camping oven powered completely by photovoltaic cells.
Goals:
- Power our camping oven using a 100 Watt solar panel
- Include Micro-controller and user interface to control oven temperature
- Utilize engineering analysis to determine the best insulation and framework for the oven while keeping the cost at a minimum
- Create iterative spreadsheets to mimic heat loss, temperature fluctuations, and cooking times for a variety of different scenarios
- Use 3D CAD software (SolidWorks) to model our concepts
- Build prototypes of selected concepts for testing and evaluation
Concepts:
1) Insulated Drawer Cooker: Drawer Concept
2) Flexible insulation stored inside oven:
