I do solar cooking in the US in the state of Michigan and know how effective it is. Year round long as the sun is shining, food can be cooked. Few people know that it is practical in the US. I wonder if you have to deal in Japan with lack of knowledge and people's trust in what is traditionally done. Unlike my 60/30 solar oven your parabolic umbrella cooker is much more portable. I think more people will like that. I like it.

3:06 I just love the strong electromagnetic effect it produces on your camera. You get the same thing filming close to a bonfire only the effect is much weaker

Also seems to double as a teleportation device for your pot - sweet! :-D

Any updates on these solar umbrella cookers? I am highly interested in further details.

Works good as long as the wind is not blowing.

@HandsomeSasquatch Hi, the reflectors, mirror or aluminum foil, are not hot because they reflect the sun not absorb but I recommend you to use two-sided tape if you can. All sun lays are concentrated on forcal area where is hot and you put the pot for cooking.

eco friendly and it saves gas a lot.... awesome.. please show us how you build this or where can be possibly buy this.. thanks...

What type of material are you using for the reflector? Thanks.

What model is this? Please provide a link to where to learn more about it.

Thanks for sharing the vid, good to see some people can be creative rather than simply destructive or critical.

Hello. Can you post the plans for this solar cooker?

You should make a collapsable circular trellis to set it in, low center of gravity. If it could clip on at any position that would be cool as well

awww that was adorable ....a portable solar cooker...such a genius u are...I'm wondering the type of dish you cooked in the container that day... I personally wouldve cooked steamed brocolli and rice..lol

@PetranTach We used a thin film coated aluminum. It is our key technology.

Imagine a big steam loco with umbrellas on top to boil water! *steampunk apocalypse!*

Thanks a lot for fast reply! Sorry about that! It's just that many KZfaq videos don't explain well. Are you a supplier or seller? Can this bring water to boil? How fast? A demo video of that would be helpful for all to see. Thanks very much for your time.

Coolest umbrella ever.

my ears are lonely

It's very nice but how would you keep your dinner warm during nighttime? Maybe warm up a few stones?

Hi, I am planning to make a solar oven and gluing aluminum foil to the sides of a box....do you know if the glue gets too hot from the cooking if it will cause toxic gas to contaminate the food? is there a certain type of glue i should use?

Well, if we weren't able to build upon the ideas of others, most technology would never exist.

how did you make the umbrella adapters to attach them to the stands? or did you just buy them. I like it!

Really nice idea :D I'm so curious about the interference in some parts of your video's image and I'm wondering if it's produced by the metalic part of your umbrella acting as an antena emiting a electromagnetic signal which afects the video...

Very Great! imho. Very thanks for having shared :)

On my opinion, i think many people gonna fail to solve that puzzle...well assembling process.

This seems professionally made. Where do they sell this?

hello! ebay sell such a thing? what name?

Hi, it took around 15 minutes to boil a liter of water but it depends on the weather. Thanks....

Wow so compact and useful!!!

Thanks for your comments and I appreciate it. Yes, you are right. It is weak when you are using it on a windy day. We redesigned tripod and pegs. It is a lot better than previous one. Please check install video on my channel if you are interested in.

Yes, you can buy it from ebay. We changed the model which is more stable...

Sometimes speed is important.. so how long does it take to boil some water?

@beniluna Thanks for your interests in our solar cooker. You can get it from e-bay. If you type in 'umbrella solar cooker" on e-bay, you can find it easily. It is really cooooooool.

Amazing! Where can I buy it?

@apexwave Sun lays, like the chip? I guess they let them sit in the sun until they're done.

Looks good

can you get the sports channels on that dish

how many for cooking a egg?

Sterling engine holmes?

Very clever!

the camera´s lens were melting! LOL

You made it??

cool vid,

Could you imagine if this thing came alive like in Maximum Overdrive! All the other machines would make fun of it...

did you make that?

It seems that this article is no longer for sale. How did you make sure the umbrella had a parabolic shape? Did you use mylar fabric? Were you, apexwave, involved in the design or commercialization of this cooker?

maybe the mirror material can last 6 monthes without loosing reflective propertiy because the dust will be scratching litle by litle, the user will have to be disciplined for using as to clean it and puttiny away.

How do I buy one?

where can i get 1 of thees ?

this is so cool! thank you for vid

It's great~ It will be much better if you can record the boiling of water.

la idea es lo importante de este video, se puede emplear cualquier cosa que refleje la luz solar, yo estoy trbajando en reciclar una lampara que ya no sirve ,para convertirla en una cocina solar. felicidades por tu idea.

Hi do you sell a model that can take a pot with 3-4 liters ? What price? Thanks :)

good job,very nıce

Seems very handy, unless ofcourse it's very windy outside...

Where to buy? Please take my money! The versions sold on ebay are not foldable or portable and they don't ship to the Netherlands.

the umbroider, first built in 1950 or so

where is the volume?

It's a very useful idea .. I want to make one for me .. could you please give me the sizes of base and what the material did you use ? .. Thank you

so your telling me this fancy pants umbrella can cook me dinner?

I spray paint the underside of the umbrella with silver paint

Were you trying to cook your camera?

for a while.But what happens when gas run out? do you have large quantities of propane gas for long term shtf? Sun will last forever, one day it will be sunny, next day can be cloudy.Why not use solar cooker on sunny days and propane gas on cloudy?

Fuuuuuaaaaaa todo un trabajo,me encantó

Can you buy this?

Is that the new Weber model? ;-)

وين القاه عندنا ببريده؟

The clip is calledf "Solar Cooker" I would have liked to see it cooking something.

Magnetic >~< Radiation

I will buy this umbrella solar cooker! Where?Benedictio Carling

como se hace pra hacerlo y funciona''''''?????

@UtaGabrielaHenze Thanks for your comments. I'll send some information to your email.

Awsome!

You guys must not have wind in Korea....That thing would not last a minute in the winds in Texas. It would either go rolling uncontrolably across the flatlands or if you had it anchored it would just rip to shreds like tissue in a wind tunnle.....Perhaps a smaller cooker, one with less of a profile or lower to the ground?

Can you send me the link of this product?

I am doing a small project in solar cooker and I hope if you can help me .

"perfect for kids" - I wouldn't let a kid anywhere near one of these. I got a different model - a 1.5m rigid dish instead of flexible but otherwise same idea. Will try it for small quantities of maple syrup. The light and heat at the focal point are extremely intense and could cause eye damage or burns. Unlike a fire, you can't see the hot spot until you put something in it. As a test, I put a paper towel at the focal point to see how long it took to set afire. The light reflected off the paper was so bright I saw spots for an hour. Will now wear dark glasses when using it. BTW - it will make a thin pine board flame in 5 seconds even in winter.

the uv and infrared rays are messing with the camera lol

주변에 자동차를 보니 한국인거 같은데 태양열 우산 어디에서 판매하나요. 가격은 얼마정도 가는지 궁금하고 사용하는데 불편한건 없나요.

I wonder if my umbrella can do that, too.

Solar panels are great simply because it saves the energy and money.

او بالقصيم؟

about 10minutes 1 Liter !

What's the brand? It's not on eBay under solar cooker or solar mirror. How much is it? What places besides eBay gave them? Another frustrating KZfaq post lacking important info.

Really. How practical is this?

cooking umbrella!! :-)

And, you can also sit under these for protection of the sun's warmth!! xD

VERY cool design and idea. Only your camera-man needs some work ;)

al ultimo parece que ocupo la segunda sombrilla para broncearse.

I think I will starve to death before I even get the cooker set up!

show me a video with it boiling water from start to finish

se podra pintar sobre cualquier tipo de lona un color plata con los mismos resultados

Thats korea I believe

yes

i love the concept of these cookers but most of them have a fatal flaw - they don't fold very neatly, making them hard to take with you when you're out camping in the mountains :( there's one out there on the market that folds neatly into your backpack, but it costs crapload of dollars -.-'

It is made by Eneropto Co. Thanks.

It good nice but it won't stand a change on a windy day.

You do realize that you could have damaged your camera sensor, right?

If you watch more videos in my channel, you can find a few different foods. You can cook brocolli and rice too....

A BIT OF WIND AND FAREWELL LUNCH
