This yellowish flame reeks of fossil.

Supposing this 'invention' is solar powered as claimed, the end product will be burning bright bluish flame, not the yellowish-soot-ladden flame as seen in the picture.

This is worse than a mediocre invention, its a daylight fraud. People all over the world view this site, we shouldn't be celebrating fraud in this country (UAR)

GerogeI:
Both sides of the ongoing argument are rather hilarious.

You can use the solar pv cells to generate electricity, then use the electricity to power an electrolyser to produce hydrogen and oxygen from water, then burn the hydrogen. You can also choose some other chemical to electrolyse.

Down side is 1. Cumulative energy efficiency will be very low, less tha 10%. But since we have sun light abundantly, it's not wastage economically, but just high capital equipment cost to cook

Downside 2. The real danger, is that hydrogen is explosive. Not something you play with in domestic environment.

Am still suspicious of that flame though, it burns more like a hydrocarbon.

U can convert electricity to flames ? Which chemistry book did y read this one

now let me school you...

The electricity from a solar panel can be used to create heat to start a fire. A resistive heating element like a cigarette lighter, toaster or stove element could be used.

However, a photovoltaic solar panel is about 10–15% efficient. Using the solar heat directly through a magnifying lens is much smaller, cheaper and efficient (more like 80%) depending on the surface being heated.

Now let me give u example...

PV panels can cause fires if installed improperly, just as anything electrical can, by creating a spark.

One dey even use Google to debate me...

Later Una go dey shout quota system up and down!!!

But na una be the real quota system products!!

israelp:
nice 1 heat is present wot cossi fire ? I tink itz apc

stasius:
Open that yellow box. I want to check something.

Mikecold:




Your end product should be infared light not a combustible flare,

Infared light operates like your micro wave, just heat

Arrewa:
We are gradually getting there!!

I'm very surprised that most people in this part of the world still don't believe that solar power can ignite fire!!

So most Nigerians dont even know anything about solar thermal energy?

This explain why Africa is backward!!

Commentor:

Well you could generate fire by focusing the solar rays to a combustible location using concave mirrors but it wouldn't even make sense for cooking.

solar dy say...nt gas! Abi na gas slove nw?

stasius:


Open Am first.

Dangrace01:


The electricity that the solar would generate that can break down( hydrogen and oxygen I guess you are talking about water) would be huge because of the bond between hydrogen and oxygen,
The cost of the product would be over expensive
Why would I use this long process when there is the least 200 kerosene

Secondary school chemistry teaches us characteristics of flame once it's yellowish it's basically from incomplete combustion of carbon so that device is fraud

Elliotwaveforec:
Wow! Great news. Where's Dangote? This invention will send millions to the labour market.

GerogeI:


Yes, I think the device is fraudulent.

But so you know, the electricity you need to break down water bonds in electrolysis is not huge, as little as 2.2 volts will electrolyse water, afterall it's the inverse thing that happens in your car and phone batteries, just that they use other kinds of electrolyte.

I did a lot of electrolysis as a kid. In fact, one time, I thought I had burnt my nostrils from breathing in chlorine from electrolysis of NaCl solution. The only hard thing is getting electrodes that will not react. Graphite rods in finger batteries.

Google says 1.23v for water.

I see no how a fire could be produced via solar energy,it can only produce heat energy..my thought
