Cooking "Meals In a Jar" in Our Solar Oven

Free energy for cooking. Nothing beats that. In a SHTF situation, when fuel conservation is important enough to worry about every ounce, its good to know we can use the sun. The sun is a constant energy resource. Learning to cook in a solar oven takes some practice. Like everything else we have learned here, its practice that counts.

Meals in a Jar- Pasta Three Different Ways

A cpmplete meal in a jar. Who could ask for more. This comfort food can make all the difference when times are hard. Its an easy meal and one the family will enjoy.

Recipe: (The actual Way without my changes)
2/3 Cup of Tomato Powder
1/3 cup dehydrated onion
1 Tablespoon Italian Seasoning
1/2 Teaspoon garlic powder
1/3 Cup Freeze Dried Sausage
2/3 Cup Freeze Dried Ground Beef
1/3 Cup Freeze Dried mushrooms
Fill the rest of the jar with pasta
Directions:
Pour contents into a baking pan. Pour 6 cups of water into it. If you need more water for a sauce that makes you happy, add more as it cooks. You may want to add more pasta also. Try one and see what you like. Each time I make it, it is a bit different because I like to experiment.
Put it in a 350 degree oven. Check on it after a half hour. Adjust your time by what you desire. Usually 30-45 minutes works for us.

Simple Pringles Solar Hot Dog Cooker

Simple Solar Hot Dog Cooker or Pringles can cooker

Procedure

Cut opening in Pringles cans
Bend the flaps open on the can. These will serve as reflectors to collect more of the solar radiation into the cooker.

Cut the Tape to fit over the opening, This will serve as glazing to let the sun's energy in but not let the heat out. (Cooker can also be used for kabobs). Take the them out into the sun. Make sure that the cooker is facing directly towards the sun so that the sun is shining/reflected directly onto the hot dog. Check the cooker frequently and adjust their position to match the path of the sun In a bright sunny day with minimal breeze, the hot dogs will be ready to eat in 25-30 minutes.

My Solar Power Setup

Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) - Murray Power and Generation

Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) systems use lenses or mirrors and tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight into a small beam. The concentrated heat is then used as a heat source for a conventional power plant.

STEAM ENGINE 12KW GENERATOR Solar Mirror Array Death Ray

http://www.greenpowerscience.com/
This is the first video from our "Viewers Video" segment where we showcase GreenPowerScience inspired work or other work that offers great ideas in the Green Energy Field.

Joe Carruth built this by himself and this is the third prototype of his design. The unit weighs 1.5 tons and is 12.5 ft x 14.5 ft of active collection area. He currently manually tracks the sun for testing and hopes to get some funding to bring this project to a self contained version that can be available for Alternative Power production.

SOLAR DEATH RAY WATER aqua lens with 1/3 Kilowatt Heat Energy

This is another solar water lens that is almost 30 inches in diameter and can burn through wood quickly. It delivers a very large powerful focal point that is only useful around noon in the summertime when the sun is directly overhead. The material is crystal clear vinyl shower curtain. This lens concentrates about 500 watts of solar heat energy to a focal point of 1 inch optimal with a 3-6 inch scatter.

THE FUTURE OF SOLAR POWER - Infinia Stirling Solar Generator

Infinia's solar power device which uses a parabolic mirror to focus the sun onto the heat exchanger of a stirling engine. The stirling engine drives a linear alternator which creates direct AC power.

Each Infinia unit generates 3 kilowatts of energy.

Level One Cooking in SHTF

When we first start Prepping, most folks put away store bought can goods like tomatoes, beans, soups, and vegtables. Durring stressful times, thinking is hard to do especially when you are new. Prepping is what makes us all feel secure. Knowing a few basic and simple recipes to use up our level one foods can be a comfort to our families and ourselves. Level one foods are good things to store. As you progress, you will learn more intermediate and long term preps. Today is a lesson using the easiest.

SOLAR RADIATION ALERT!

Just posted a global warning - the sun just emitted the biggest X Class solar flare so far this year - it's huge! caused a radio blackout! this is a big one! very dangerous! Please avoid direct sunlight for at least 2 days. will know more tomorrow along with an exact time the flare will hit us! THIS IS A WEIRD ONE cuz it blasted us with protons immediately causing global radio blackouts! The news will report it - hopefully - due to the possibility of this flare causing satellite and potential power failures! BE CAREFUL - THIS IS A BIG ONE!!!!

Step by Step: How I Built A Solar Generator For Less Than $300

This is how I built my solar powered generator for only $300.00. I provide step by step instructions on how to do it yourself. Please leave a comment let me know what you think.

Just to answer some questions
1. I got most of my components on Amazon.com the others I got at auto parts stores and home improvement stores
2. For safety yes you should put venting holes in and yes connect the terminals to the inverter first prior to hooking them to battery.
3. To get more power get a bigger battery, charge controller, and a panel.
4. you can use this same setup as a wind powered generator using a dc motor and prop instead of a solar panel.

How I built my first V.A.W.T. Vertical Axis Wind Turbine

Home Made Wind Turbine

Lynx Vawt with new airfoil rotor vanes

For Plans: go to this website and scroll to the first post in the thread. I highly recommend the smaller 4'H x 3'D version seen in the video. Just adjust the dimensions.

http://www.vawts.net/t35462704/lynx-vawt-design-24-sqft/?page=3&sort=newe...

In this video you can see the increase in speed from the re-designed rotor vanes. The vanes are angled in a way you wouldn't think would work. The airfoil gains lift as the rotor spins. The airfoils are cutting a path around the turbine and lift is at a slight tangent to the axis.

Lynx Vawt Comparison

Homemade Wind Turbine Generator VAWT Vertical

Homemade Vertical Wind Turbine mounted behind my wall and isn't visible from the street. Perfect turbine for HOA areas and in cities that won't allow mast mounted turbines. This is a wing lift prototype I'm getting some numbers from to create an improved designed. I believe these are the future of wind energy. I also have so other alternative energy concepts on the drawing board I'll post in the future. This intellectual property belongs to myself. However, please feel free to use this design for non-commercial purposes (your own home turbine). © 2009-2010 imikewillrockyou

How to build a solar water heater

Trade Secrets - Solar Hot Water Systems

solar water heater simple DIY project

A short video showing the small solar water heater i designed a couple of days ago. it consists of 136 feet of 1/2" black tubing. internal diameter is actually 3/5" (cost approx $10.00), 4 connector pieces (to connect the various pieces together and to connect it to the house (cost approx. $5.00)), and finally the 'y connector' so i could have the garden hose hooked up at the same time (cost approx $5.00). all purchased from home depot. total cost was approx. $20.00. all i did was coil 100 feet of the hose and attach it to a piece of plywood. after 30 minutes of sun the water temperature is about 130-133 degrees and after 60 to 90 minutes it can reach 150 degrees. the tubing can hold about 2 gallons of water at a time. if you drain and refill several times throughout the day you could easity get 10-15 gallons of hot water a day. of note: they call the tubing 1/2" but the actual internal diameter of the tubing is 3/5" (.6 inches). 100 feet of tubing holds 1.47 gallons and 136 feet of tubing holds approx. 2 gallons. home depot sells a 500 foot roll for about $35.00. that would hold 7.36 gallons of water.
