Current projects

Perfecting and using our Reciprocal Photo Test for Measuring Solar Cooker Performance
Continue to build and test EB Cooker Prototypes including our Hypar cooker
Evaluate the performance of cookers using our data aquisition system
Use ray tracing to evaluate the performance of panel cookers

Other Solar Cooking Interests

Tracking systems for solar cookers
Review the performance of funnel cookers
Increase the power flow into box cookers by optimizng the size and orientation of reflectors.

Earthbound Tech cooker test, 5-3-14 — Reciprocal light testing, *(Earthbound Technology photo)*

April 2014: A photo is used to evaluate solar cooker output William Bradley, founder of Earthbound Technology, has been working on developing a new approach for analyzing the potential performance output for solar panel cooker and parabolic solar cookers. It involves photographing the cookpot as the light source in controlled light conditions, and measuring the reflected light.

EB Hybrid Parabolic Cooker, 2-5-13 — The Hypar Solar Cooker being winter tested in Massachusetts, USA.

February 2013: The Hypar Solar Cooker is currently being tested. It is our newest cooker. It is primarily a multi-sided parabolic solar cooker with the outermost section replaced with a conic section. Testing midwinter in Massachusetts shows that it can produce more than enough heat for cooking.

July 26, 2008: We cooked a complete meal for 15 people completely in the sun and did a presentation on solar cooking after the meal. It was a complete meal including appetizers, main course and dessert. This attracted enough attention to have the local TV station send a photographer and we had our moment on fame on the local news.
