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.

Thus, he demanded that the workers should work with a blunt drill whilst the other one was still sharpened. Yet, they refused by arguing that the [...] Thomp-son felt that this issue deserves some more of his attention, so he mumbled to the workers ‘Work on, and be more efficient’ and went back to his carriage to go home, thinking about this problem.
