Almost Horsepower! Sun Scoop Tracking Solar Reflector to Steams Soil Improve Garden Production, and Dehydrates Fruit Too!
The sunscoop is vastly superior to my old solar concentrator, because it allows easier access to the cooking pot or dehydrating fruit.
Supplies
saws, lumber abs sheet of plastic
Incremental But Very Large Production Improvements
Improved solar reflector increases both the power and the ease of use. I steam 5 or 6 times more soil per day and it is done to a better standard
Dehydrating Food
It is now a solar dehydrator too. But it needs some work due to temperature differences along the way.
Improvements for the Future
I will be adding a fan and thermostats to the dehydrator. I will do a small version with 2 sun scoops on it too.
