Solar cooking apparatus
First Claim
1. A solar cooking apparatus, comprising:
- a first solar reflector;
a second solar reflector;
a solar collection element; and
a solar collection element holder, whereinthe first solar reflector and the second solar reflector are concave, and symmetrically arranged and aligned with a solar collection element axis, each reflector having a range of motion on a plane perpendicular to the solar collection element axis, and focusing radiation at the solar collection element from a reflective surface when the first and/or second solar reflectors are in an opened position toward a solar radiation source, the first and second solar reflectors shield the solar collector when in a closed position, and the solar collection element holder having a rotatable collar system attached to the solar collection element and first and second solar reflectors.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a solar cooking apparatus, comprising: a first solar reflector; a second solar reflector; a solar collection element; and a solar collection element holder, wherein the first solar reflector and the second solar reflector are concave, and symmetrically arranged and aligned with a solar collection element axis, the reflectors having a up to a 360° range of motion around a plane perpendicular to the solar collection element axis, and focusing radiation at the solar collection element, which rapidly heats when the first and/or second solar reflectors are in an opened position, the first and second solar reflectors shield the solar collector when in a closed position. The solar cooking apparatus is adjustable and, in some embodiments, portable.
