CNESOLER

The National Center for Solar and Renewable Energies.

May I present to you the chief of the workshop:
he's showing off a big parabolic cooker which is something like 4 years old and is already worn to the point of ineffectiveness. Such is the story of tinfoil contraptions. They were trying to get around the need to import polished aluminium from Germany and so they experimented with a variety of foils.

Solar cookers (box and parabolic) and solar dehydrators (active and passive). They dehydrate onions in the dehydrators, but the cookers only ever come out for experimentation.



Having developed something of a cough due to constant sand and smog inhalation I've decided I'm not going to take it anymore:



GEAR! Like, real measuring equipment! Golly, you mean I get to be scientific and stuff?



Things at CNESOLER look pretty good.
