Solar Cook Off '97
EPSEA's Solar Cook Off coincided with Eath Day Festivities in El Paso on April 20. On a beautiful Solar Day, EPSEA not only conducted the cook off but also set up working solar displays which included; PV water pumping, solar distillation, concentrated solar energy, a stirling engine and the "Human Sundial". Thousands of people visited our booth and left with information about the equipment displayed as well as solar design, hot water and more. The Human SundialOnce laid out the human dial holds their hands
slightly apart and turns until there is no shadow on either palm.
Lilly Ojinaga, Program Coordinator for Renewable Energy, State Government of Chihuahua, Mexico demonstrates just how easy it is to tell time. Here are a few photos of the entries from elementary, middle and high school students from El Paso and Juarez, Mexico. Congratulations to all who competed.
