2Purchasing Large Mirror
I Purchase a mirror 1.8 Meter x 1.8 Meter. Then Cut it in Circle with mirror cutter . Where the Dia of Mirror Was 1.8 Meter. Then Again cut it in small pieces 1x1 inch was each. Also giving them a unique number . How I Do it ? You can see the video. The cost of mirror with cutting into pieces 1x1 inch RS PKR 4500 = 15.7 USD

7Why Use of Black Glasses ?
When using a parabolic solar cooker, it is recommended to wear black glasses or sunglasses for eye protection. The reason behind this is the intense concentration of sunlight that the parabolic reflector creates. The reflector directs and focuses sunlight onto a central point, which can result in extremely high temperatures.
Wearing black glasses helps to reduce the intensity of the sunlight entering your eyes, preventing potential damage caused by the concentrated heat and brightness. The dark lenses of the glasses act as a filter, reducing the amount of UV radiation and infrared rays that reach your eyes.
By wearing black glasses, you can ensure that your eyes are shielded from the intense light and heat generated by the parabolic solar cooker, providing a safer and more comfortable cooking experience. It is important to prioritize eye safety when working with concentrated solar energy

8Why use black pain on the concertation area
The use of black paint on the concentration area of a parabolic cooker serves a specific purpose: to maximize the absorption of sunlight and optimize heat generation. Black surfaces have high absorbance properties, meaning they can absorb a significant amount of solar radiation.
By painting the concentration area of the parabolic cooker with black paint, the surface becomes more effective at absorbing the incoming sunlight. This helps to enhance the conversion of solar energy into heat. The black paint absorbs a larger portion of the sunlight's energy spectrum, including visible and infrared light, which contributes to raising the temperature at the focal point of the cooker.
In contrast, lighter or reflective surfaces would reflect more sunlight, resulting in reduced heat generation. Therefore, the use of black paint ensures that the parabolic cooker can efficiently capture and convert solar energy into the intense heat required for cooking. It is a practical way to optimize the performance of the cooker and enhance its overall efficiency
