The long lasting heavy cloudcover and colder weather would lessen it's ability during those months in countries which are affected by rainy seasons. The main focus was to boil water for drinking, which I am guessing is not as urgent during the rainy season where water is (too) plentyful? Forgive my ignoreance if that doesn't work. Cooking food over the rainy season would still be difficult. The plastic version would avoid the cooker only lasting one season as well (as the cardboard one wouldn't survive the rainsy season). I wonder if it could act as a slow cooker using the available light in these times? Will keep a lookout online and see how it evolves. A good point.

It avoids the need to cut down trees, saving them time and saving trees preventing further deforestation in these areas. It also means that people will suffer less from smoke inhalation related health complaints. The ability to boil and make safe drinking water for themselves using such a simple and easy to produce device is a massive breakthrough. Of course it would need to be used during the day over a period of time to supply enough drinking water for that day and night. But this is something that would be much harder without such a cooker. This could save lives if it was mass produced and I wish the designer luck in this endevour. I hope that helps :) Hi， The design is intended for hot third world countries where they would otherwise have to spend hours searching for ever more scare materials to burn.
