I recall articles in kids' magazines in the mid-80's about how to build solar cookers. Apparently, they are already in widespread use today, with many different designs:<p><a href="http://solarcooking.org/plans/" rel="nofollow">http://solarcooking.org/plans/</a><p>Does anyone know what makes this new design special?

Not to criticize your creativity, but I propose changing the title, because I was expecting something about food, which it isn't entirely. But it is full of awesome and based in Nairobi!

I've made one of these before... along with the rest of my third grade class. I guess someone should have called CNN back then.

An estimated time to boil a liter of room temperature water and cook a sunny side up egg would have been helpful.

Could also be used to distill/desalinate water when it's not in use for other purposes.

Solve the simplest problem that tons of people have. Excellent invention in my opinion.
