My 12V / 18V portable oven DIY project! Camping hiking remote job sites off grid cooking! #shorts

This portable electric field oven is powered by a Ryobi 18v battery, 12V solar battery bank or even direct PV with a 100 watt solar panel! Here is a quick test of my mini oven prototype. I built this DIY project to test the concept of simple battery or solar cooking in the field anywhere. This is a portable battery powered oven or solar electric - whichever is needed. While large solar battery systems can be expensive, commodity 18V power tool batteries are widely available and easy to charge with a small solar panel. A portable oven like this would be great for remote job sites, camping / RV, off grid sites, rural areas to name a few. Since there is a valid use case for this kind of technology, my hope this that manufacturers will pick up on the idea and create simple, affordable and refined products that people can use to cook food in sparse conditions with minimal power requirements. For me, high tech survival and preparedness is about making technology work in simple yet effective ways. Is it possible to bake bread using an 18V Power Tool Battery? Recently, I set out to answer this question. In the back yard I set up a table and connected my mini solar electric PV2L oven to a Ryobi 18V power tool battery with alligator clips. After a few adjustments and a short wait, the oven was able to reach over 300 degrees Fahrenheit. My oven is basically the same design I showed in the last video, in which it ran off a single 100 watt solar panel and nothing else. I used it to cook hot dogs and chicken. A link to that video is in the description. On to the bread. I am absolutely not a cook, but a family member gave me some leftover bread dough. So I used it to make a couple of test samples... err small bread rolls, and put them in a tin foil pan for the test. Of course more food can fit inside, but I only wanted to prove the concept. If there is one thing I can do, it's play with food and burn it in a prototype device. This is real science. If you've been following my channel, you know I like to operate devices, such as cooking appliances, directly off of solar panels - this is called PV-to-Load. Lest anyone think my designs don't function off a battery, this demonstration literally shows my PV-to-Load mini solar electric oven running off of a power tool battery alone. These prototypes don't care at all where the DC voltage is coming from - battery, solar panel or both. It's very exciting to cook with nothing but a solar panel in my yard, but an 18V power tool battery is interesting too. I hope you enjoyed this short demonstration of my mini solar electric oven running off of a power tool battery. If you want to see it run off of a solar panel, the link is in the description. Thanks for watching and I'll see you next time. #offgrid #short #ryobi #solar #offgridsolarpowersystem #offgridsolar #solarelectric #solarelectricity #solarcooking #solaroven Music credits / provided by generous artists at: TuneTank, Pixabay
