(Focusing on Optics and Renewable Energy)

Submitted by: Roseann M. Raymundo

ABSTRACT

This study aimed to find out if an old shoebox and a thick tin foil can be converted to amore useful piece of cooking equipment. The feasibility of reflective solar heated grill that is built from a cardboard box, tin foil, and poster board as alternative cooking equipment was studied in this research project. The cardboard box was cut and shaped. The tin foil is settled in the middle making it looks like a slide. We go outside in the heat of the sun. The barbeque sticks were placed in the spot where reflection of the sunlight focuses on the hotdog .just like a real skewer the hotdog were cooked therefor minutes. Tasted it and voila. Real hotdogs on stick just like mom used to cook.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A solar heated grill can be built from a cardboard box, tin foil, and poster board. Sunlight hits the reflective surface and focuses on the hot dog held in the center. Students can work in pairs or individually if there are enough materials. This is a parabolic cooker we built a while ago, so unfortunately we can't show step by step photos of its construction. However, it's relatively easy to see how it was put together. It makes a great Physics project. Unlike most, you'll actually get some use out of it afterwards. Some of the principles it demonstrates are:

1. Optics: focusing parallel rays of incident light through the use of a parabolic mirror.
2. Energy transformation: light to heat
3. Renewable energy: solar power

OBJECTIVE

General Objective: This study of Solar Heated Grill aim to find out if an old shoe carton box can be useful in making a alternative cooking machine.

Significance of the study: * This serves as an eye-opener for those who don’t have a grill in their backyard. At the same time they can also reduce their solid waste materials at home because their about to use

    In this lab we will attempt to set a variety of different types of food on fire and capture the heat energy that is given off. The heat energy from the burning comes form the energy stored in the chemical bonds of the food. The more energy in the bonds, the more heat the food will give off. We will capture the heat from the food in the water in a pop can by placing the burning food directly underneath the can. The basic premise of the lab is that the heat from the burning food will raise the temperature of the water in the…

    In this report, the absorption of heat in white, black and silver will be explored. Infrared radiation is invisible radiant energy, it lies between the visible light and the microwave portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Heat is the main source of infrared energy, heat is produced by the movement of atoms and molecules. This experiment was conducted to investigate how black, white, and silver cans would absorb heat.…

    We, human needs energy to live and for movements. Thus, we eat and combust food to release its heat energy in our bodies. In this experiment, we will determine how much heat energy released when we eat snack foods such as popcorn or potato chips. This lab includes three burning tests of different foods with different energy contents. Calorimetry is the science associated with determining the changes in energy of a system by measuring the heat exchanged with the surroundings(Calorimeters and Calorimetry). It requires us to create a soda can calorimeter which is a soda can with water inside in order to absorb heat energy and determine the temperature changes of water in soda can. These three different foods with different measurement of energy contents that participated in this lab are potato chips, popcorns, and raw pasta noodle. All three participants are all flammable. Because of the Law of Conservation of energy which states that energy cannot…

    Converting light to heat: Any black on the inside of a solar cooker, as well as certain materials for pots, will improve the effectiveness of turning light into heat. A black pan will absorb almost all of the sun's light and turn it into heat, substantially improving the effectiveness of the cooker. Also, the better a pan conducts heat, the faster the oven will work.…

    As the subject of appliances and its efficiency was covered, cooling and heating was consequently brought up as these two actions will consume the largest amount of electricity in a house, not only regulating the temperature of a house but also of the water we use. The methods of Geothermal heating/cooling and solar water heating were brought up and its advantages were discussed. The sun is one of our main sources of energy, if not the main one. This heavily relies on the way we can capture its energy and transform it in electricity or other forms of energy. How Geothermal heating/cooling changes the…

    Lunch Box

    In this era of economic crisis people look for new ways to save money. In business centers in big cities we observe more and more people bringing lunch from home instead of eating away in restaurants. There is a growing market of products related such as water bottles with special features, lunch bags and others. There are a significant number of business man/women who seek gardens near the workplace to eat their lunches. Others use their own offices or shopping centers. In this context we find a difficulty common to all these persons which is the impossibility to warm up their food. The daily life of these persons could be more comfortable if they had a product like the one shown in the 3D model below at their reach. This product was designed in order to transport food in a easy and elegant way and that could also warm it up. It would consist on a box with dimensions that allows someone to put it in a briefcase (approximately 20cm X 20cm X 5cm) , and the exterior would be made of cork. In the interior it would have an electric plate which can warm up food by induction and a removable recipient made of stainless steel to put the food. The cork outer shell provides not only great aesthetics but also has important mechanical properties such as waterproof, non-flammable, isothermal and is also light and cheap. We believe it would be a profitable product due to the dimension and characteristics of the market target, costumers who like new technologies and are willing to pay for them. The technology required to build it exist and it would be simple to assembly.…

    A) ABSTRACT: This laboratory exercise deals with on how to determine the caloric content of food by creating our own calorimeter. Measuring the energy content of three different food samples by using the change in water temperatures from the heat given off while burning the sample. To verify our results much further — equations, such as energy and heat capacity calculations, helped us establish on such results. As a result of the experiment, I learned and understand better the importance of choosing food with the right caloric content to get us through the day. This experiment made me visually comprehend that various amounts of energy produced by food — which definitely helps our bodies to work efficiently.…
