Industrial Design Center (Internship)
Problem Statement
1. Aim is to increase the temperature of the Solar Oven
2. Design of Reflector for Solar Oven
3. Material Selection of Cookware
4. Design of Cookware and their stacking mechanism
About the project
Sunrice solar oven project was initiated and developed by Mr. Avinash Prabhune (Project Manager, Shenoy Labs, IITB) during his M. des at IIT Bombay.
Approach to the problem
Mindmap was prepared for the ideation process of cookware for solar oven.
Calculations involved in solar Cooker reflector dimensions
Diagram for Reflection of Sun rays.
Formula Used
For the design of reflector different mockup were prepared and tested. Various material were used for mockup so as to get better visualization and ideas.
Steps involved in Mockup Preparation
Sketches
1.Foldable Type
2.Rotating TypeRe
