This tire cooker was constructed by Daniel, Jesus and Alonso. The purpose of making this tire cooker is to make it so that it can be easily accessible to people who cannot afford expensive materials such as metal tape and a tire. By using sunlight and an insulation system, heat cannot escape, keeping the inside of the tire hot. You can cook anything from food or heat a tea pot. All of these materials can be obtained from looking in garbage cans, or things lying around. This project is about sustainability and using objects that a person with no money can construct.

Step 1: Realizing Your Needs

First you will need to realize what you need this cooker for.

This cooker is a sustainable design made for one dish/pan at a time.

Going with our sustainable design restraints, we will be using sustainable materials.

Step 2: Gather Materials

Since this is a sustainable project, most of the materials can be found in trash cans and things lying around.
Everything you are going to need.
Materials: A spare tire( you can ask for spare tires at tire shops. Some shops will pay you to get rid of their tires.), Aluminum, glass(3X3), tape, cardboard, paper, tape and metal tape if possible.

Step 3: Beginning Construction

Using the materials in the second page, we will need to construct the solar cooker.

1st. Fill the interior of the tire with crumpled paper. This will act as an insulator.

2nd. Use foil to act as a reflector. Apply the foil as a covering to the insulation. There should be no visible tire within the cooker.

Step 4: Assemble Materials Into the Right Position.

Lay the tire in the middle of the flat board that you constructed. Put scrap paper in the interior of the tire. Scrap paper can be obtained from school in a recycling can. Put tape around the paper in order to keep the paper from falling out.

Step 5: Add a Reflector to Direct the Heat In

Next, apply foil around the interior of the tire. Apply tape as well to keep the foil from coming apart. Apply foil over a 56in by 16 in cardboard and put tape on the edges of the foil or come up with a sticky substances of your choice. Put the foil cardboard around the tire so that it can reflect sunlight into the interior of the tire. Put a glass panel on top of the tire so that it can trap sunlight.

Step 6: Cook What You Want.

Now you are ready to use your tire cooker. The tire cooker will take time to heat up( depending on the sun's location). Make sure that the sun is directly over the tire cooker. You can cook anything from eggs, bacon or heat up some tea. For someone who cannot have access to clean, this tire cooker is a great tool for turning undrinkable water into drinkable water.

Step 7: Conclusion

The tire cooker is an invention that can be widely used in developing countries today. Millions of people do not have access to stoves, wood fires or electricity. The tire cooker is made from sustainable objects which people can obtain from their surroundings. This tire cooker does not pollute the nearby environment and is eco friendly.
