||
| − | About two billion people on earth are suffering from the shortage of |
||
| + | [[File:Solar kochen mit Michael Bonke|none|400 px]] |
||
| − | fuel. In many countries, the main source of fuel for cooking is still |
||
| − | the traditional firewood. Logging of trees in the forested areas are in |
||
| − | large scale and the deforestation and desertification is an on going |
||
| − | issue that is causing extinction. Besides, burning firewood causes air |
||
| − | pollution which poses risk not only to the environment but to the user |
||
| − | from (IAP = Indoor air pollution) as well. Survey shows that more people |
||
| − | died from suffocation than malaria (approximately 1,5 million) . |
||
| − | |||
| − | Cooking with solar energy will be an alternative to replace the fuel |
||
| − | shortage problem since the sunlight cost nothing to run and is always |
||
| − | available. Unfortunately, the existing cookers which are obtainable are |
||
| − | too expensive for the people especially those living in the |
||
| − | under-developed countries. Besides, the accessibility is not often |
||
| − | possible, perhaps only through some development project scheme. There is |
||
| − | a possibility in developing such simple solar cooker with cartonboard |
||
| − | and aluminium foil. This method is very economical but not very |
||
| − | durable. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Therefore, we would like to invite all resourceful inventors to submit |
||
| − | your patterns for the solar cookers within the next few months. The |
||
| − | successful developer of such solar cooker will be invited to Berlin, |
||
| − | possibly be meeting Frau Wieczorek-Zeul from the Ministry of Economic |
||
| − | Cooperation and De velopment. |
||

| − | This competition will begin on the 28th of June, 2009 at the “Stadtfest” |
||
| − | in Heiligenhaus. Evaluation will be done within the framework of the |
||
| − | cultural capital in summer 2010. A summer camp has been planned for |
||
| − | participants from 15 countries to illustrate on the practical |
||
| − | suitability of their invented solar cookers. |
||

||
| − | |||
| − | To begin with, all patterns should be submitted with photos, drawings |

||
| − | |||

Presenting the funnel cooker
I am 55 years old, work as a self-employed web designer and my main target concerning solar cooking is to make it popular in Germany. The "SOL KOCH" conference listed in the Germany section is one step in this direction. I want to inform people, that solar cooking works here in Germany and not only in Africa or India and that it is really fun. Presently, solar cooking is kind of a hobby for me, but my activities around this topic consume more and more time and it looks as if I am inventing a new profession for myself: solar cooking promoter or something like that. I am a member of Solarkochschule e.V.
In Mai 2010 I started SunPod, a podcast about solar cooking and electric cars (in German language), together with a friend, who is an expert for electric mobility. Meanwhile the range of our topics has widely expanded and now we publish interviews with everybody, who helps to make this world a better place.
Recent news and developments
- February 2012: Michael experiments with the glazing for a CooKit style panel cooker.
- November 2011: Since he began involved with teaching in 2009, Michael has introduced solar cooking to over 300 people.
