I don’t know that this one would generate enough electricity to run an induction burner. Perhaps it has a plug hidden behind the lid. Thanks for the additional links! I agree with you.

The Conservation of energy principle and all that. I studied product (industrial) design at uni and know that students tend to get a bit fanciful at times. That said, there are some very good, but slightly less aesthetic, alternatives to this concept called solar cookers. I have seen various versions on the market, but they are simple enough to make your own if you were keen. I have heard some reports of certain designs working in quite cold climates. some links.... the principle... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cooker some DIY Links... http://www.knowledgehound.com/topics/solarcoo.htm or do a search for products you can buy online or go to a good camping store. Some are good for baking, others can even be used like a hot plate.
