Solar Ovens

SOLAR OVEN
A solar oven or solar cooker is a device which uses sunlight as its energy source. Because they use no fuel and they cost nothing to run, humanitarian organizations are promoting their use worldwide to help slow deforestation and desertification, caused by using wood as fuel for cooking. Solar cookers are a form of outdoor cooking, and are often used in situations where minimum fuel consumption or fire risk are considered highly important.

Box cookers

Box cookers cook at moderate to high temperatures and often accommodate multiple pots. Worldwide, they are the most widespread. There are several hundred thousand in India alone.



Curved concentrator cookers

Curved concentrator cookers, or "parabolics," cook fast at high temperatures, but require frequent adjustment and supervision for safe operation. Several hundred thousand exist, mainly in China. They are especially useful for large-scale institutional cooking.


Panel cookers

Panel cookers incorporate elements of box and curved concentrator cookers. They are simple and relatively inexpensive to buy or produce. Solar Cookers International's "CooKit" is the most widely used combination cooker.


REACTION

I think that solar ovens are the future for cooking and helping people to solve world hunger. I also feel as if solar ovens will be the leading kitchen appliance in the future for college students and people that camps for a hobby.

Solar Panel

Solar panels (arrays of photvoltaic cells) make use of renewable energy from the sun, and are a clean and environmentally sound means of collecting solar energy. Here at solar panel information, we've amassed a wealth of information relating to solar panels and the field of photovoltaic technology. You can learn how solar panels work, how they are manufactured, where to buy them, and how to set them up. If you are looking for information on solar panels and don't know where to start, check out our solar panels section to learn more about how these photovoltaic cells are derived from silicon and what solar energy means to you.

REACTION
I think that solar panels are some of the most innovative and amazing inventions known to the human race. I feel like in the near future, solar panels will be the answer to all problems in the world. It will also help us to conserve nonresuable resources.

BLS Training Data

This assingment gave me really good insight on the career that I would like to pursue, which is psychology. this has also motivated me to pursue my career and be very sucessful.

Lesson 6 careers in Engineering

When I researched the career that relates to bulding roller coasters which is a Natural Scince Engineer. It just really surprised me when I read how much knowledge is needed to have a sucessful career in that field. And It showed me that a diverse education is really needed to be sucessful. And the median payment is $112,800 and $54.23 an hour. I also researched a Ship Engineer.For that career they basically monitior the ship and all the minor things that helps the ship to work safely. For this ocupation you really need a high knowledge in computers and Electronics.And the annual salary is $60,690 and $29.18 an hour.

Egineering News Articles (Lesson 6)

I read a article that spoke about new and innovative ways to produce fuels. I said that Soy and Corn can be used for alternative fuels such as bio diesel and ethanol. The increase demand for the crops has increased the cost and has caused a food shortage for those particular plants. They have also discovered that algae is a perfect source for green fuel. An acre of algae should produce 10,000 gallons of oil or even 100,000 gallons. Soy on the other hand only produces 50 gallons per acre. Sadly the costs of growing algae is quite expensive and they are still try to find inexpensive ways to grow it. I also read an article that talked about fighting terrorism. The engineer of Howard University, Robert Wood is developing a robotic fly. It weighs no more than a few grains of rice. It also has small odor sensors that could detect deadly fumes attached to bombs. It will keep track of Terrorists activities. I also think it will help benefit the country and keep us safe.

Career and Engineering video clips

I researched Psychology, Physical Therapy and Massage Therapy for my top three careers that I would like to pursue in life. Psychologists study the human mind and behavior. Most positions require a Doctoral degree and a states license. Physical Therapists help accident victims and the disabled live and cope with chronic illnesses and over come physical challenges. Most positions for Physical Therapy require a Masters degree. Massage Therapists help people recover from an injury or they help people relax. They could be self-employed or they can work for a sports team, Physical Therapists, or a dance Troupe.I also watched a video that listed the world's tallest buildings. A lot of countries in Asia made the list as well. I watched a video that demonstrated a motorcycle that shoots out rockets as the person drives it. Lastly I viewed a video that showed how the first atomic bomb was created and how it came into play. It was first created on July 16, 1945 in the dessert of New Mexico.

3 Career Choices

The three career choices i chose was Robotic Technician, Graphic Designer, and a Surveyor
