Abstract

Since 1979, the author has designed, studied and used various models of solar cookers—from thermal food warmer in 1979, to PV multi-voltage cooker in 2010 and to single-axis tracker for solar cookers in 2012. Besides publishing the results in technical journals and national and international conferences, these have been promoted through lectures in communities, educational and cultural centres, TV, radio, newspapers, workshops and seminars in Costa Rica and many other countries. For one of the models of solar cooker, the author got a patent in 1984.
In the present work, different models and some promotional activities, especially at educational institutes, to warm the lunch for students are mentioned.
