How I would improve my solar oven

If I had the opportunity to build or change parts of my solar oven again, I would do the following:

  • Use more insulation because I feel that there was not enough insulation. The type of insulation I would use would be felt and fabric.
  • Change the angle of my reflector because I feel like it did not reflect right. It was not at the right angle for the sun to reflect and heat up my solar oven.

 

 

THAT IS WHAT I WOULD CHANGE

This proves that the more air you blow in means more mass. Due to this evidence, air has mass or weight most things in the universe are matter has mass which is why air has mass.
