||
− | '''Background:'''<br> |
||
− | About two billion people on earth are suffering from the shortage of |
||
− | 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. |
||
− | |||
− | <br> |
||
− | '''Competition Regulations''' |
||
− | |||
− | To begin with, all patterns should be submitted with photos, drawings |
||
− | and description for evaluation purposes. The selected inventors and |
||
− | their solar cooker patterns will be invited to compete in the final and |
||
− | the selected objects will be exhibited. |
||
− | |||
− | It will be assessed in 3 categories: |
||
− | *Material and Production costs under 10€ |
||
− | *Material and Production costs between 10€ - 50€ |
||
− | *Material and Production costs over 50€ |
||
− | |||
− | The acceptance will be assessed with the following aspects: |
||
− | * practical application in assemble / disassemble / storage |
||
− | * practical suitability in usage (for cooking and baking) |
||
− | * Efficiency |
||
− | * Stability |
||
− | * Durability |
||
− | * Multi-functional abilities for different cooking methods. |
||
− | |||
− | It is important for the initiators of this competition that all |
||
− | submitted ideas can later be accessible for all general users. The |
||
− | copyright will be registered for the selected pattern and at the same |
||
− | time, it is given the free right for all users, that is, so called, the |
||
− | “Copyleft” ( It is the general method for making a program free software |
||
− | and requiring all modified and extended versions of the program to be |
||
− | free software as well.) So that many common people could benefit from |
||
− | the invention and in order no one turns it into an absolute monopoly. |
||
− | This term and condition shall be agreed and accepted by all participants |
||
− | for this competition. |
||
− | |||
− | All drafts shall be submitted in via E-Mail to |
||
⚫ | |||
− | 2010. All patterns shall be illustrated in text form, drawings and/or |
||
− | with photos. Data may be sent in jpg, gif and rtf format. And, the |
||
− | judges’ decision is final. |
||
− | |||
− | The organizers will seek for sponsors and Experts as jurors for the |
||
− | preselection of the candidates. More information regarding further |
||
− | development of this competition will be notified. |
