Wolfgang Scheffler is the inventor/promoter of Scheffler Community Kitchens--large parabolic dishes for community kitchens, bakeries, etc. Over 2000 large cookers have been built distributed worldwide by 2008. Wolfgang Scheffler was the recipient of a Special Recognition Award at the 2006 Nuclear-Free Future Awards ceremony, held at the Navajo Education Center on December 1, 2006.
In 1982 Wolfgang Scheffler started developing a
parabolic fixed focus reflector that was later named after
him by his friends in India. From the beginning the
technology has been free for everybody to use, replicate
and further develop. Scheffler always shared his ideas
with anybody interested. He very soon joined with
friends, who had similar aims, to form ULOG, a informal
group of people in Switzerland and Germany. Later
GloboSol (earlier VKSE) in Switzerland (in 1985) and
Solare Brücke e.V. in Germany (in 1992) were founded
by others to support the work of a slowly growing group
of people. Those two associations don’t concentrate on
Scheffler Reflectors alone: smaller solar cookers (like the
ULOG box cooker and the SK14) as well as solar drying
is included in their field of attention. Globosol has
mainly been financing courses on such technologies. In
the case of Solare Brücke Scheffler Reflectors have
become the main focus. Mr Scheffler has been on the
board of directors since 1998 and was elected president
of the association in 2001. Since then Solare Brücke has
developed into a center of competence for these
particular reflectors and their different applications.
