Roger Wilco Photo below is 4" diameter galvanized steel stovepipe ($4.49), & a galvanized steel cap ($2.79), both painted with high-temp flat black paint ($2.19). Yard stick marked in inches for scale.
I have it out in the Sun with some coffee grounds stuffed in & a cooking thermometer stuck in to get a baseline temp without the parabolic reflector. Photos of the reflector's construction to follow when available.

Edit: Construction discussion moved to :
Solar Parabolic Trough Charcoal Oven

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.
