Yes! this and other projects to help the poor people of the world are the new gigs to separate you from (just a small amount) of your money!
Seems to be working great so far...besides how will you ever know if they got the goods or not!
Saw a solar oven and space heater being sold by the same people yesterday.
Don't get me wrong, everybody is allowed to make a buck !

I am disgusted with your cynicism. Solar ovens have been a great tool for poor countries, and this is amazing. You're probably against malaria nets and anything else that might benefit Third World countries.

I am totally against vaccinations and immunizations in third world countries since they have been linked to autism in this country. I can just see the lawsuits stemming from foreign countries wanting millions or billions for messing up their kids like we did ours.

The link of vaccinations to autism not only has been debunked, the doctor who first made the connection has been exposed as a fraud and his research totally discredited. And what does this have to do with the original post? Where did anyone mention vaccinations?

LOLOLOLOL!!!
Nothing wrong with giving stuff to poor people.....playing with your heartstrings to fill my pockets would be wrong though!
I love all these funky inventions that work or don't work but I wouldn't bet the future of my country on them as some would suggest we do !

There was a similar invention years ago about a wind up radio, where a wind up mechanism generated power to operate the radio. Nothing more has been heard of since to my knowledge.

I think you can still find that radio in the survival section ! lol
Modern gimicks like to use words like "solar" "gravity" "green"
"Carbon free footprint" etc.... :thumbup:
