1) WEATHER TRENDS in CAMEROON
Presently, we are having a rainy season in Cameroon , with 2 to 3 sunny days per week .
Things will be better for our ISEC promotion, as from the beginning of december 2021 with the starting of the dry season.

2) NEW ISEC DESIGNS
We are gradually designing new ISECs , although our ordered supplies from abroad are awaited ; we do with the locally available materials such as plastic buckets or solar panels.

3) ISEC DISSEMINATION IN CAMEROON

Till now, we’ve promoted our ISECs via the testing through local households in Yaounde and we got a good feedback, with two purchase projects from the users ; but we believe , training young students from primary and secondary schools , to the ISEC usage and technology , may be a good step to also disseminate the ISEc Technology in Cameroon.
Starting 2022, we are preparing to organize conferences and demo sessions in some secondary schools of Yaounde , including my university ( wher i teach ) to sensitize the youth on the importance and opportunities of adopting clean clean through the ISEC technology.All these conferences will be organized by ISEc Cameroon under the "Renewable Energy Educational Project ( R.E.E.P ) set up by the ISEC Cameroon Team. ; and we expect more support to this educational program, by Pr Pete and the ISEC Team in CAL POLY ( USA ).

Bidjanga,

Thanks for the pictures. In the second one from the bottom, did you put more insulation around and over the pot of food? This pot is not very well insulated as in the picture. Please insulate more completely and send another picture. … and let me know if it works better.

Thanks
Pete

This is how the ISEC is fixed ( please see attached picture ),with more wool for insulation.
I’ll test it soon and inform you.

Bidjanga,
The greatest amount of heat loss will happen off the top. insulation on the top is very important. Please cover the entire pot and see what the effect is. I look forward to seeing how things works.

Hi Pete,
the problm with our ISECs is ; we use plastic or steel buckets that already get their cover ; it’s then diffivcult to insulate the cover of the bucket ; also our ready made aluminium pots are short ( please check the below picture of our ISEC system :
