Title: Wilson Solar Grill for outdoor cooking
Post by: Outback in Idaho on July 27, 2013, 09:10:02 PM

  Saw this post on a Solar thread. Looked interesting enough to share the Wilson Solar Grill (http://solarcooking.wikia.com/wiki/Wilson_Solar_Grill).

The Wilson Solar Grill is a proposed design reportedly being developed by MIT professor David Wilson with the help of MIT graduate students from differing disciplines in the Fall 2012.

This grill is planned to collect thermal energy from the sun and store it to allow cooking times for up to twenty-five hours at temperatures above 450 degrees Fahrenheit. The study is being conducted by Derek Ham, Eric Uva, and Theodora Vardouli, all part of an entrepreneurship course called “iTeams.” I-Teams, (short for “Innovation Teams”) is a unique MIT course that assembles cross-disciplinary teams of students from across MIT. The goal of i-Teams is to teach students the process of science and technology commercialization focusing on how to judge a technology’s commercial potential. Each team has access to faculty, practitioners, business mentors, and fellow students throughout their project.
