This last semester I designed and built six 3-foot long, parabolic solar collectors [link] for labs in a Physics course on Renewable Energy Resources. I had some scrap parts left (You can't just throw "good stuff" away!), so I built a hot dog cooker. I've been waiting for a nice sunny day to try it. Today was the day! From the refrigerator to 151.5 ºF in 15 minutes. Anticipation...whets the appetite.

Hot dogs...a Renewable Energy Resource!
