Jon Bohmer
Jon Bohmer used sunlight, cardboard, and foil to make a Kyota Box oven. The Kyota Box oven heats food and water. The Kyota box oven uses 2 cardboard boxes painted black on the inside and coated with foil on the outside. It costs only $5 to make! Even though it only costs $5 to make it gets warm enough to boil water and cook food. He envisions these ovens distributed throughout rural Africa.
