This was a really interesting entry. Here several Navajo students from Paul McCarl’s class at the Whitehorse High School in Montezuma Creek, Utah present their solar cooker projects.

Especially interesting is a Fresnel lens cooker the students built in order to be able to fry the popular Southwest fry bread.

As one of the student notes, you don’t see too many solar cookers that will fry.

The students introduce themselves in Navajo and then go on and explain their projects.

Thanks

for visiting The Real Know-How.

Our focus: Passing along essential information for sustainable, self-sufficient living on an individual and community level.

The posts on The Real Know-How speak to how we feed and clothe ourselves, how we generate energy, work, get around and dispose of waste.

This know-how comes from hundreds of ordinary and not-so-ordinary people who are thinking up new ways of doing things and reviving traditional methods.

We’ve got video and photo tutorials (I’m a visual learner), articles and success stories for inspiration.

In selecting what to post we’ve tried to stay away from strongly ideological and jargony content. I think the know-how has to be shared regardless of what school of thought or movement you align with.
