News and recent developments
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. Read a summary at: Reciprocal Photo Test for Measuring Solar Cooker Performance, and more detail is linked to here: Solar Cooker Performance Evaluation by Reciprocity with Photographic Analysis
The EB Hybrid Parabolic Cooker being winter tested in Massachusetts, USA.
- February 2013: The EB Hybrid Parabolic 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.
