Solar Powered Dinner?

Summer fun and massive barbecues are just one season away and what’s better than having a “solar grill” to go all natural on?

In 2011, MIT professor David Wilson, cooked up an invention called the “Wilson Solar Grill”, by pairing up the technology of solar energy and one of the word’s oldest food prep methods of cooking over a fire.

This syle of grill has something called a “Fresnel lens” (created by Physicist Augustin-Jean Fresnel) that collects energy from the sun, converts it into something called “latent heat” and then stores it for up to 25 hours for extended cooking.

This formula acts as a solution to help reduce air pollution (caused by coal and wood burning) and it reduces the pull on the electrical grid during the high energy summer months. The "Wilson Solar Grill" also gives people in still-developing countries, a healther option for cooking thier food.

The “Wilson Solar Grill” has yet to be pushed into production just yet, due to the global market's reaction and demand for the technology still being gauged but it may become available sooner than later, if we keep talking about it. ☺
