Hi everyone,
I'm currently trying to build a solar cooker which can also be used during the night / the next day so I was wondering if I can get some advice about how it can be done, especially the material that I can use to store the heat.
I saw an article that said a professor from MIT had designed a similar grill which used lithium nitrate to store the heat and I came across a couple of articles about using olive or soybean oil.
Not sure if I did it the correct way but I also looked at substances which have a high heat of fusion and came across sodium acetate, paraffin wax and glycerol.
Thanks for reading.
