[QUOTE="William Moore, post: 990840, member: 409515"] I am in USA and like to mess with solar cookers, might say it is an obsession. The best reflectors are as stated in the heading. Seems that over here they rarely use aluminium so I have done all my design work with powder coated steel reflectors using foil tape for good reflection. It is messy, too much light scattering. AL polishes well, if you can get the powder coat off first. Prefer 100cm, approximately. Have found [U]one[/U] dish I have found is 200 cm, hardly portable but will certainly sterilise lots of water once built. It has horribly efficient coating, needs to be baked at high temp to soften the coating, and no one around here can do it. The few manufacturers I have tried to communicate with just ignore messages. Rumour has it that some western EU countries use aluminium. Is this true? If so, who knows how to contact the manufacturers? I would like to get some reflectors before the powder coat goes on...or used Also, used will do if they have the coating that comes off with ordinary paint stripper. thanks, William Moore retired electronics guy [/QUOTE]
