A small solar drying cabinet
This classroom model is a cabinet that uses sunlight to warm air. At the bottom left, a low inlet admits fresh air. Above it, a black plate absorbs heat beneath a sloping transparent cover. The warmed air moves upwards into the main box.
Two mesh shelves hold sliced fruit in the upper chamber. Air passes through the shelves and leaves through a short chimney at the top right. A removable drawer at the base catches pieces of fruit that fall from the shelves. The diagram shows a side view, with the front wall removed.
