BYO Project Ideas

During Energy Night there will be demonstrations and displays of interesting energy projects. We will be popping popcorn on a rocket stove, tasting some solar-baked beans, and seeing the projects designed by you.

Here are some ideas:

Cooking
  • Rocket Stove: There are many different designs. search YouTube for "Rocket Stove", or get started by looking at the videos on the underhillenergy channel.

stoversource.com
  • Twig Stoves, which might also be called Rocket Stoves. Again, search YouTube.

  • Solar Oven. Here again, there are many variations. The basic cardboard box stove seems to be the most cost-effective. Can you cook meringue cookies in a pizza box version of the solar oven?
  • Solar Hot Dog Cooker

Mechanical
