He has developed five different solar oven products with his knowledge and skills.

This GoSun Solar Oven is capable of cooking a complete meal in 20 minutes and this can be done without the use of any fuel source at all. The stove can get as hot as 550°F and only requires the sun’s rays to cook the food. It consists of a borosilicate, glass cooking tube, two foldable reflector sheets, cooking tray that slides into the glass tube, a cleaning scrubber, user manual, cook book, and carrying handles. This unit is only 24” long and is easy to carry and transport from place to place. This stove can hold up to 53oz of liquid or 3 lbs. of food and the overall weight of the oven without food is 7 lbs. 12 oz. Another good thing about this stove is it does not require direct sunlight in order to cook the food meaning it can be cloudy out and the stove will still work. This unit is capable of cooking meats, vegetables and even bread and can grille, steam and fry most any food. You can also leave it to cook while you go and do chores or other activities and not worry about it catching on fire because the outside of the stove is completely cool.
