Les tilbakemeldingen fra Bergen kommune som har 6000 lisenser av Moonscape Protection:
Tilbakemeldinger fra både lærere og elever på løsningen er veldig positiv, det viktigste for alle parter er at PC’en virkernår den skal til ny time – og det gjør de
Bergen Kommune har i perioden august 2004 – februar 2005 rullet ut 3000 nye skole PC-er og har trukket frem følgende suksessfaktorer i prosjektet:
Moonscape, som gjør at PC’ene kommer opp med friskt oppsett ved hver omstart, minsker plunder og heft, samt angrep av datavirus og spam.
I tillegg sier de:
“Det var et overordnet mål å få til en løsning som gjør at lokalt utstyr virker til hver ny skoletime og redusere plunder og heft faktoren for både elever og lærere. For å få til dette måtte mulighetene for at elever kunne ”rote” til oppsett lokalt begrenses, og det ble gjort mye arbeid og testing ift. dette. Resultatet ble anskaffelse av 3. parts programvare fra Moonscape, som gjør at en PC ved hver omstart, kopierer inn orginalt oppsett. IKT-kontaktene kan installere programvare og ekstrautstyr, og har derfor mulighet for å endre oppsett. Så langt er erfaringene med denne løsningen veldig bra.”
Og ikke minst:
”I tillegg er vi også veldig fornøyd med den service som vi har fått fra dere – og håper at det gode samarbeidet fortsetter fremover. Vi skal igang med flere prosjekter hvor vi har valgt eller vurderer å ta i bruk Moonscape”

Circular Solar Cooker
To mark the big climatic event with the world top leaders that takes place in New Your these days, this is my two cent to save the planet. Hopefulle it gives inspiration to twist your head once again to find new ways you can reduce CO2. I think it is time to look for new solutions in all directions. Solar cooking is one of them, and I have just made a new design wich I call a Circular Solar Cooker.
The Circular SoIar Cooker is a foldable solar cooker that is easy to carry, easy to set up and of course easy to fold. The material should resist high temperature and should be soft and of course highly reflective. The two circles is holding the reflectors together with some lightweight support structures. The idea is that it finds its form automtically when you take it out of the carring bag. To fold the circular solar cooker you just twist the two circles. This feature makes them very mobile and easy to bring with you. The diameter of the full model is 120 cm. Folded together in the bag it takes up 60 cm. All angles are 60 degrees. Both the two foldable circles and the other reflectors are making a 60 degree angle. The inner part of the reflector is following the form of a circle or cylinder up to 60 degrees in each direction.
For the inner reflector the idea is to make use of the simple structure of a circle or a cylinder and at the same time make sure all the sunlight is reflected towards the hot cooking pot. The interesting thing is that a 120 degree sector of the cylinder is not too different from a parabolic structure. The spread of the reflected sunlight is not more than 20 cm in the center of the solar cooker. To bulid a model that make use of this concept is also very simple. Cut out 120degrees of a cylinder and glue a reflector to it. To boost this some more I have added 60 degrees reflectors parallel to the edge. These reflectors are connected to the two circles below and above. I am coming back to this very cool principle in my next blogpost. Stay tuned!

Software to help in solar cooker design
I think that I have found software that will help people to design new solar cookers.
It is called art of illusion, it is a java program, it is free and it is cross platform. I have found it fairly easy to use.
More info can be found at this link. and a downloadable scene file that you can use in art of illusion to do your own design work

Classification and Therminology of Solar Cookers:
Terminology and Classification of solar cookers
To help myself and maybe others too to get things straight, I have made a proposition for some terminology to classify solar cookers. I know there are some classifications out there already, but the subject is far from clear in my opinion. Some cooker take their name from the cooking pot, others take their names from the type of reflector they are using, again others take their name from how the reflector is curved, if it is a deep curve of shallow curve. A cooker with a very shallow reflector would normally be called a solar grill. A cooker with a deep curve would sometimes be more of a cooker. This dicussion should contiune, but here anyway my 10 cents. To simplify I limit the scope to cathegories depending on type of reflectors and cooking spot. The reflector in the other hand is divided into four cathegories depending on shape, curve and the shape and size of the elements of reflections.
In my view, the solar cooker could take its names from many different cathegories depending the type of specification. I am giving three examples here of well known solar cookers, and indicating what specifies each one of them. As you probably see, more than one yes, in each cathegori, indicates sub variations and gives a possibility to classify these variations.
Number of variations based on the standard Solar Grill will normally be:
2* 1 * 4 * 2 *2 = 32 variations. A possibility to name each variations should then be possible.
Many more types than the standard three mentioned below, and could probably be classified according to this therminology and system. It should also be possible to find and evaluate new types of solar cookers based on this classification.
Note: this is not a final classification, but more a proposition open to discussion and change.
You find my proposition for classification in the pdf file below.

Botle Heaters
Hot water is not taken for granted everywhere in the world. It demands a lot of energy and in some countries this often means burning coal or wood. Another alternative is to take advantage of the sun. A normal plastic water botle of 10 liters covered in black can be heated to just above 80 degrees C before the plastic starts to melt down. Even 60 -65 degrees is enough for geting safe driking water. Water heaters does not have to be very complicated. A black botle is enough to get water heated up to 45 degrees. A small reflector at the base can heat it to about 60 degrees C. Leave and forget the botle a few hours, come back and voila! – there is hot steeming water!
This botle heater keeps the botle in a 45-50 degrees position. In this way you can heat the botle from any angel.
A black
Here is another variation:
Heating water demands a lot of energy. Why use valuable electrical energy, when the sun can do the job? In the end of the day you have hot water for every purpose you want. We found that our children enjoy this very much. In our part of the world we are now approaching the dry cold season and tap water is usually quite cold. If the whole familiy wants to take a hot shower, there might not be enough water in one botle, but then we just add more botles.
Solar Cooker locally build
This time I wanted to get to the real thing. I found some people who where willing to put it together and after a week they came back with a brand new solar cooker. I wanted the solar cooker to be done locally to stimulate local business. This was just the first model we tried out, and there should always be room for improvements. But I was very happy that this first solar cooker turned out to be succsessful. After cooking and tasting the food with my friends it turned out to be a very nice experience.
The interest in this type of cooking is now growing and the women are posing all their questions.
2D design for 3D models
Lately I have tried to build some of the 3D models based on 2D printouts. Of course it is possible to put the models out in the STL format and send them over to the folks at CAD span. But the price tag is still a bit heavy. As I am on a low budget, I found it therefor more helpful to make the models in 3D on my computer and then project them piece by piece onto a 2D format. On a small scale base, they then can be printed out on a ordinary printer before being glued and put together in its ordinary 3D shape. The process is fast and easy and reliable for the small scale models. The 1:1 scale is a challenge. The printing can be done using a software like Posterize. This handy software let you print out images in any dimension. I tried up to 60 pages to get the full scale model. This was then transfered to cheep aluminum or other materials to get the reflector designed. The challenges that arises are linked to the functionality of the models. I found that even though it works well on a small paper based model, full scale models with other material, gave me quite a different picture. My software does not allow me to test out or analyze the functionality, it just gives the geometry. The geometry can look nice but it should not be a big surprise to anyone that reality always is more complex than our designed models! They often gives me small surprises based on details that gets bigger in a full scale focus, or the way material change based on the dimension being used. Bigger models demand another level of support and structure than small models.
Still by making the models as accurate as possible in the design process, and then making some small models, a lot of problems can be found and corrected before going full scale.
