Parabolic Satellite Dish Conversion - Solar Cooker

Two proven DIY methods for converting an old offset parabolic satellite dish into a solar cooker! These are two different satellite dishes I converted for solar cooking...one satellite dish was sanded and polished, and the other satellite dish is made using reflective vinyl strips. Please note, this experiment wasn't about cooking speed, but how to utilize free solar energy. This design was made to slow cook food like a sous vide cooker, or crockpot...not to create a full boil...as slow-cooked foods can taste better! Sanding and polishing a parabolic dish takes much longer but is more permanent. For the first dish, I wanted to sand and polish to as close to a mirror finish as the metal would allow. For the second dish, I lightly sanded, then added a light coat of paint to smooth out the surface, and used vinyl strips. Using the reflective vinyl strips is faster but they require replacing over time. Some metals polish better than others, and some dishes benefit more from the strips. Hope this video helps to show you how! Solar cooking can help reduce deforestation, soil erosion, and even pasteurize water where there’s a limited supply. And it's FUN!

I've tried the same thing 6 years ago and found that you really do not need the paint striper and create all that hard work and used all dhoose chemicals and tool. All you really need is a reel of aluminium tape to cover the dish with. The results are identical and achievable in max 10 minutes. No polishing needed. No holes need covering as the tape will cover them anyway. After all not the look of the dish is important but the functionality.

It just depends on the dish. Some have more orange peel than others. Some need it, some don't. I wanted to show how to deal with the ones that do have orange peel. I used the bolt holes to mount to the dish stand, then covered the bolt heads with reflective tape.

A great idea, I have been thinking of trying this for some time. A friend of mine was in the Himalayas a while back and noticed that many of the locals used folding solar cookers as the rhododendron forests that used to be their firewood source were depleted years ago. Even when traveling they take a cooker with them to brew up tea and cook on the trail.

@Lito Flores It does indeed cook foods and this video is just one of many on KZbin that proves it can be done. It's simply a slow cooker process instead of a fast process. This design was not about cooking speed...its about using free energy. However, if you want speed...simply use a large fresnel lens.

i wonder why the governmentss do not have programs set out using this tech to heat houses . i am on disability and heat the house using electricity and know for a fact that using the suns power would save tax money that could be used in better ways . same goes for people that heat the house using natural gas . my thoughts on this is that the governmentss own all the power stations and would not get to keep the majority of money for themselves so that they can have the easy life . same goes for the banks , its my belief that the governmentss are the main share holders , people that save money in the banks are getting jipped , they borrow your money with high interest out to others and keep the majority of it for themselves . if you ask to borrow money from them you have to pay high interest and yet most people are willing to just give the banks money with basically no return investment .

Just a couple of suggestions, and I totally agree that protective eye wear be used..First suggestion is to have the parabolic angled so that the refraction and collection points up to the underside of the cooking vessel.. like a burner contact point with any pot of pan.. Most of your better quality cookwear have that thick plate to act as a buffer..The second which goes towards eye safety.. You can protect your eye sight by simply slipping a cardboard or other firm surfaced object over the lens before you do any cooking activity like stirring, serving, or adding ingredients..I do agree with the more extreme light filtering eye wear... but stumbling around blinded or nearly blind has its hazards as well. This was one of the reasons I suggest pointing the refraction and collection points up and using a light blocking material covering the lens

The dish itself shouldn't ever overheat. It's the parabolic focus point concentrating the sun's energy from whatever size reflector that gets hot (just like with a fresnel). A larger parabola only makes more heat at focal point because it's size collects more of the sun. How did your painted dish do? I'm tinkering with a few designs, and foil tape, sanded/polished bare metal, chrome paint are all I'm considering for a recycled television dish cooker.

Yes, this is true. Its difficult to find those large dishes and they are much more powerful and can have a much larger focal point, which is very important. So buying those styles of cookers is going to produce much more reliable results. I'm all for companies that make a good solar product, especially marketed towards third world or poverty-stricken areas, or places that do not have adequate or legal access to firewood or other resources. But, as you are probably aware, it gets old hearing from the climate change deniers or oil and power company shills that attack alternative cooking or power sources simply to gain more profit. So, as well...keep up the good work! As a side note, I'm hoping to do a video soon on a box style oven made from old house windows. I just need to settle on the design.

@AlanHowellphotovideo
@AlanHowellphotovideo 5 жыл бұрын
Mylar is not as durable and can decay fairly quickly so repeated mylar applications are necessary, therefore extra labor time and material cost is the issue. Lots of ways to accomplish the end result, but people have to decide which fits their application best. Since mylar doesn't last as long as the sanding and polishing, in my experience, it is actually much, much more expensive and time-consuming over the long term.

No need to strip it too much work! Spray some adhesive on it then rub on some mylar/ emergency blanket! In 5 minutes your done and getting temps up to 750 degrees!

I love the idea that you used a piece of glass to set your cooking pot on. I never would have thought of that but this way it doesn't obstruct any of the light or heat. Can you tell us how long it took you to finally go from satellite dish to your finished product? Thanks

5 hours for the polished dish, and about 4 hours for the second dish because I had to wait for the undercoat paint to dry. But the strips go down in only about 30 minutes at most.

The United states government, people in the gov. and corporations, people in the Corp, still believe the economy and their wealth depends on petroleum. And it's going to be some real serious earth changes and natural destruction before good ideas to harness energy become mainstream. You can run hundreds of miles per gallon on gasoline vapors. You can run like I did for thousands and thousands of miles on used cooking oil or used motor or transmission oil in a diesel engine vehicle. Tesla had many free energy ideas the us Gov. Through FBI agents locked away upon his death. Stanley Meyers discovered the resonance of water and someone killed him over it. Water molecules have more energy locked in them than any substance known to man between the strength of the bond to the expansion of the gas to the energy of combustion in hydrogen and oxygen.

I have done that, covered one with mylar (chip packets) and then left it in the shed and when the sun angle came down in winter all of a sudden it was catching some and set an old leather couch on fire. These are dangerous, and exactly why BYU came up with the solar funnel concept to replace parabolic dishes - these had been given as aid to displace dung burning and setting houses alight when stored poorly.

Correct. Tried the same with simple aluminium foil coated tape. Had way more efficiency without any form of polishing - just stick it carefully. (What he did in the end).
