Solar energy expert and Cincinnati, Ohio native Patrick Sherwin, realized an innovation that he created one day while removing some solar collectors from a client's roof. In the 10 years since Sherwin removed those solar collectors from a client's roof, he's been working on perfecting the art of solar cooking. On September 5th, he had launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds to mass-produce his GoSun Stove, a compact $279 solar cooker that he hopes could not just change the way the Western civilization uses and looks at sources of renewable energy, but also impact the entire world.
The Kickstarter campaign, which had raised more than 1/4 of its $40,000 goal within the first 10 hours of its launch, is being used as a means for Sherwin and his team to raise funds for marketing, equipment and manufacturing and other programs to bring the invention to developing countries in need of less dangerous and time consuming ways to cook food.
