面向最佳太阳能炊具的非成像光学和结构设计
根据世界卫生组织的数据,现在全世界每年有数百万人因吸入燃烧木材和其他燃料烹饪产生的烟雾而生病和死亡,造成的死亡人数远远超过COVID-19!通过使用高效、可靠、安全和经济的太阳能炊具,这些死亡和疾病可以大大减少,任何类型的食物都可以在一年中的大多数日子里烹饪。即使今天有很多成功的太阳能炊具设计,我们仍然需要这样的优化设计,即使在阴天也能运行,这里展示的太阳能炊具符合这些严格的要求。在全球范围内,烹饪食物涉及大量和不可避免的能源消耗,因为超过78亿人每天必须至少吃三顿饭,这种烹饪主要是通过燃烧化石燃料或木柴来完成的,产生大量有毒和温室气体和颗粒,对健康和环境非常有害。大量使用太阳能炊具会有很大的好处,但为了保证每年至少85%的时间使用太阳能炊具,有必要拥有高性能的太阳能炊具,保持易用性和合理的低制造成本。非成像光学和结构设计的使用使得创造太阳能炊具成为可能,有了它,几乎可以在一年中的任何一天烹饪任何食物。这里总结了它们的设计细节和一些运行结果。©2021。作者。
