The solar heater had become a solar cooker. Over the next several years, Augustin contin- ued to work on his solar energy idea, employing his natural creativity and his university training in physics [...] then, Augustin set out to lay the groundwork for his solar dreams in other ways: by writing about his work and applying for patents. Astonishingly, while still being a full-time mathe- matics teacher, he managed [...] to register three patents for his designs, and by 1876, he had achieved suf- ficient fame with his work that the government awarded him a silver medal. Most importantly, though, that year Augustin was granted

Horace de Saussure was a French - Swiss scien- tist and started his work of solar cooking in 1767 building a [...] stem power. Solar cooking was his another field of investigations. Exploring solar cooking he used works of Hor- ace-Benedict de Saussure and Claude Pouillet. Mouchot also demonstrated prin- ciple of ice [...] bizarre – even magical.” Mouhout won a first place medal at this exhibi- tion and could continue his work on the devel- opments. In 1869 he poured himself into writing the first book ever devoted to solar

However, from the messages of later Greek authors, we know with some certainty that he was born around [...] although he de- scribed some of his views. It is believed that Plato even wanted to burn Democritus’ works, but the followers of the Pythagorean cult (Cleinias and Amyclas) prevented this from happening. Aristotle
