This improved version of the "Solar Cookit" withstands
rain, has better insulation, and still folds down to a 14"
x 14" x 2" flexible packet.
Low cost, high quality, extremely useful everyone should
have at least one!

A
solar cooker (=solar oven) concentrates sunlight using aluminum
foil acting as a mirror to create sufficient heat to boil water
or even cook a chicken.
It's a great item to take
with you, especially to longer outdoor stays in hot places - such
as the yearly celebration of the "burning man"! |

Sun Oven is a great,
portable solar cooker weighing only 21 lbs. It's ruggedly built
with a strong, insulated fiberglass case and tempered glass door.
The reflector folds up and secures for easy portability
on picnics, etc. It's completely adjustable, and comes with a built-in
thermometer. The interior oven dimensions are 14"W x 14"D
x 9"H and temperatures range from 350° to 400° F.
This is a very easy oven to use and it will cook
most anything! After preheating, the Sun Oven will cook one cup
of rice in 35 to 45 minutes. USA.
|
|
Heating
with sunlight still is the most efficient use of solar energy.
Think of it: No fuel. No
smoke. No electricity bill. Very portable. Not many people have
one (yet).
With a solar cooker you can
heat almost anything (with or without water) and it keeps you entertained
and leaves a lot of room for learning and improving your technique
or the the cooker itself. |

Solar cooking is easy, free, and clean, and
you can build a solar oven and a solar hot plate with a few dollars'
worth of materials and hand tools.
Cooking with the sun shows how to harness the
sun's energy in preparing food. It presents detailed plans, liberally
illiustrated with line drawings and photos, for building solar
ovens that can cook a 12 pound turkey in three hours, and a solar
reflector "hot plate" that perks coffee and cooks steak,
bacon and eggs, hot cakes and other stove-top meals. The oven
will reach temperatures of 375 degrees F, and the "hot plate"
650 degrees F.

Why is it that nearly one-third
of all RVs today have some form of solar power? Because
no one wants to listen to noisy generators when escaping city
life!
RVs lend themselves perfectly to solar panels because their flat
roofs generally spend the entire day drenched in sunshine. Solar
panels on your RV can operate lights, appliances (even your refrigerator),
computers, and entertainment system without ever needing to pull
into a crowded trailer park.
Choose from the following systems:
RV Class B Solar System (75 watts)
RV Class C Solar System (150 watts)
RV Class A Solar System (225 watts)

Guard owners from Hawaii to the Amazon Basin, from Alaska to
Louisiana, all with the same theme: "These amazing things
really work. We're mosquito free, while our friends are swatting
away."
These pocket-sized devices emit an audible, high-frequency
wave that repels some mosquito species. No scientific evidence
proves that mosquitoes can hear, yet they really seem to work!
There is an on/off switch so you don't have to activate until
the mosquitoes arrive. Battery fully recharges in three hours
of sunlight. China.
|
|
Now
this is something I am looking forward to test in the rainforests
of central and south america soon.
I can hear the high freqency
sound when it is very quiet but after a minute I don't notice it
anymore.
I'll keep you informed once
the first mosquito arrives... |

It's hot. It's cool.
It's one heck of a nifty gadget that really cools you down on a
hot day!
The Solar Hat Fan will impress your friends and
neighbors, and keep your cranium cool on sunny days. It clamps on
to your favorite chapeau (stiffer-type brims and baseball caps are
recommended) and gets to work harvesting enough solar energy to
directly power a working fan.
Features miniature photovoltaic panel with an adjustable
mount. Measures 2.75" L x 2.125" W x 2.25" H. China.
|
|
A
fun solar gift for everyone!
Note that the neither the
hat nor the girl comes with the fan - only the panel! |

The
small and inexpensive alternative to an emergency power pack. Having
light, radio, time, emergency sirene - all in one can be lifesaving
and invaluable.
I have one of these and find
myself using it not just in emergencies but when other torches are
out of battery just when you need them.
Great multifunctional solar
gadget! |
