April Maker Challenge #17:30: sunBake!

WHAT: a homemade solar oven. yea, they have some stuff on instructibles - but i'd like to design and build one myself.

OBJECTIVE: should be able to get warm enough to cook meat (not necessarily boil water). hold a constant(ish) 200 F. temp control obviously isnt the primary objective - but the easiest first test is to cook an egg to completion within an hour (i think thats a modest goal). extra nice if i could get away without actually PURCHASING any new supplies specifically for this project.

HOW: cardboard, HD tinfoil, possibly some insulation material, and a light focusing apparatus (havnt figured this part out quite yet)

APPLICATION: sun cooking! eat em up yum!
