realignment to the sun with can prove to be dangerous, the reflective nature of the device can damage the eyes which is a major concern in rural communities where children are often delegated cooking chores. Our device Our device will therefore have a box type shape. It will ideally be completely made from recycled materials, with a cardboard frame. It will also be more resistant against water in the form of steam making it more durable and painted black because black absorbs energy (heat) while white
solar cooking is an industry that has yet to be revolutionized into an efficient home appliance, therefore, there are many avenues for innovation and technological advancement to be explored. Horace de Saussure coincidently created the first solar box cooker, although, because cooking food was not his objective he failed to revolutionize the solar cooking as an efficient home appliance. Horace de Saussure, “set out to determine how effectively glass heat traps could collect the energy of the sun
such as air or a liquid. Materials like these are called mediums. Convection is the primary way heat can be transferred through liquids and gases. To classify a heat transfer as convection, hot air has to rise up to equally heat the air around it. Box solar cookers have to retain this hot air to cook food, so the cookers have to have lids with a transparent covering. The transparent covering shuts in all of the hot air and keeps out the cool air. The second heat transfer is the transfer of heat between
Imagine you were stranded on a desert island and after you have done your inventory on all of your supplies, you start building yourself a shelter and gather together some food to eat, but you notice you have no matches. The sun is beating down on you and your stomach is growling like crazy, you keep asking yourself, how can I cook this food? Your brain finally starts thinking of past tips you’ve heard about surviving on a desert island, so you look around and in your possession you have some string
the 1997 United Nations Conference on Climate Change, the city of Kyoto had barely missed being destroyed. It was one of four cities considered as primary targets by President Harry Truman’s secretary of war, Henry L. Stimson. The others were Kokura, Hiroshima, and Niigata. Gale E. Christianson describes Kyoto in her book Greenhouse as a magnificent city surpassed only by Tokyo in the number of its institutions of higher learning. Kyoto served as the seat of the emperor for more than 1000 years until
Boxes tumbled one after another as my cat blinked out of fear behind it, staring at the boxes. “Tigger!” My mother exclaimed as she rolled her eyes, catching my attention as I poke my head through the archway. “What did he do?” I asked as my mother walked over to the boxes and started to pick up the boxes. “He knocked over these boxes,” she explained as she gave a pointed look to my brown tabby. Sighing, I walked over to help her, kneeling on one knee. “It seems he doesn't want to leave either
debate, she has spent less time on the scholarship of global warming and more time advocating the idea that it is simply a myth. She is a senior scientist at the Marshall Institute, which supports her writing of articles against the Kyoto treaty (“Bush right to oppose [Kyoto] treaty”)2 and the promotion of the idea that global warming is a natural process caused by increased radiation from the sun (“The Sun Also Warms”).3 Though she has published relatively little in academic journals on the issue, articles

It leads to better quality. And finally, it is held in Kyoto, the city loved by many people. The festival matches the city’s view. And the participants put makeup and perform.

activity that anyone can take part in. Towns and schools hold annual cardboard boat regattas, judging the entrants on speed, design, and creativity. In New Richmond, Ohio there is even a cardboard boat museum! These special boats are more than just a box thrown into water; they are designed using elements of engineering and physics to make them not only water ready, but fast and durable. Building cardboard boats is an exciting way to incorporate topics studied in the classroom into an exciting educational
You would. My inner voice says No I would not, thank you very much. That is what you are doing right now, isn’t it? Why how rather snarky of you, myself! “Wait, what am I doing? This is weird.” It’s only weird when you make it weird. “Stop talking, I’m trying to do stuff!” I say out loud, beginning to weave vines and leaves together. The voice in my head mimics me, but retreats back. Looks like I won. I continue to gather wood and dry leaves, to make a fire as it is starting to get cold. Right
maybe?” I was startled; I hadn’t expected this kit to work let alone posses my laptop. The voice appeared to not have heard me and a black rectangle appeared on the screen in the middle of the blood red. A cursor was positioned on the far left of the box indicating that it wanted me to type something. My hands shook and seemed to work without my volition and I typed in the first name I could think of: Heidi Olsen. Immediately both the screen and the seance kit went dark. Then, the ouija board went crazy

It was every parent’s worst nightmare. That feeling of uneasiness, not knowing if you’ll ever know the truth, fled the minds of my parents. Two days ago, on November 16, my life flashed before my eyes twice. The first had happened around 7:30 in the evening and I was on my way to my best friends house. I had gone to her house a thousand times before, and I didn’t think this time would be any different. Driving down the highway, the unimaginable happened, I lost control of my car. I had lived through
the boxes that I incorporated with the musical instruments. They used the boxes as a musical instrument by tapping the bottom part of it, using it as a tool to stand, or basically just practicing how to open and close it. When I hid something in the box they kept on opening it and smiling as they opened it. In the room, we had this one big coffee tin can that has holes on the plastic lid. Children would take off the blue plastic lid and pour the small metal lids into the floor. Children would also
days, whistles were pretty popular. Slide whistles were a very common favor at birthday parties. I remember an older cousin came back from the army once, and he had a really cool whistle that played several different notes. It had come out of a box of cracker jacks. My supplier in those days was my grandfather, who conveniently owned a liquor store. My brother and sister played with my cousins in canyons and caves made out of the corrugated cardboard crates in the storeroom of beer and cigarettes
Peter Carey’s The Fat Man in History Entrapment and Isolation are common attributes of characters throughout several of the stories in The Fat Man in History. This comes across in many forms, both physical and mental. In most of the stories both entrapment and isolation often the result of the interaction of both. Stories which this theme is apparent are Crabs, Windmill in the West, and A Report on the Shadow Industry. In all of these stories characters are both entrapped and isolated by their

Looking out of her balcony, into the ocean she remembered that there might have been human forms, with just no legs. For there where legend of years ago that they had to chooses between the sea and land. They had chosen the sea rather then the land for it was safer out in the water then in land. For what
handed until I spotted the stack of boxes in the far left corner. There was a small wooden box on the top labeled David Walker with black sharpie. This is it. I thought. I sprinted out of the attic holding the box in one hand and the ladder in the other. Out of breath, I plopped down onto my bed, sitting with my legs crossed and the box out in front of me. Answers… Please give me answers. I thought as I opened the box. Inside held a picture of a man with dark skin and short black hair. I assumed this was
When tourists were being interviewed and asked to give comments on Japan, it is not surprising that most of them would agree that is a mixed-culture and amusing place with full of astonishment. Kyoto, the former capital of Japan, is a city with two adverse faces and expressions. On the one hand, it is similar to the metropolitan capital city Tokyo with modern designed architecture. On the other hand, it represents peace and history whereas temples and historical architectures could be seen everywhere
