In 7th grade, I made a solar oven for a science project. I remember leaving it until the last minute, then quickly scavenged the cardboard necessary to create a solar oven. I didn’t really test it out, but the guy in this story did. Not only that. He’s mass producing the $5 oven to help stem the tide of global climate change.
Story Highlights:
- Inventor Jon Bohmer has created a $5 oven made out of cardboard boxes
- Design uses 2 boxes, and an acrylic cover that lets in sun’s rays and traps them
- Award-winning oven has gone into production in a factory in Nairobi
