The AMSI-cooker has some improvements to the tested cooker model:
- the welded stand of the cooker is very rigid, so uneven ground is no problem for the stability and the adjustment of the cooker. The cooker may even moved and carryied with a full pot on the cooker.
- The reflector material is no covered with a special solar-varnish which protects the mirror against corrosion and soft scratching
- Transport of the cooker has been optimized, as the mirror-part may be easily disconnected from the stand and both parts fit know through small doors to allow for indoor storage.

Arba Minch is a very good place to harvest the energy from the sun The insolation is 4.6 to 6.3 [kWh/m²/d]
Here you may find the solar-data about Arba Minch.
This is great compared to my plce here in Stuttgart/Europe with 0.7 to 4.1 [kWh/m²/d]
Here you may find the solar-data about Stuttgart.
