Here’s a hot idea: SVSU creates solar oven to sanitize compost
The oven, built of plywood and fiberglass insulation, is powered by a funnel-like array of reflective mylar that focuses sunlight into the top of the box through a window of double-paned glass.
The contraption is angled toward the sun with brackets and mounted on a cart with wheels, so it can be adjusted throughout the day.
Altogether, the oven cost about $300 to build. Roekle is working on a portable, low-cost unit that could be used at campgrounds, instead of propane and charcoal.
