HUNGER IS THE MOTHER OF INVENTION

A Thai chicken vendor has created the world’s first solar-powered roaster at his roadside stall about 90 km south of Bangkok. Sila Sutharat claims the idea came to him while torturing bugs with a magnifying glass when he was a child. He now uses the same principle for a set up of various mirrors which focus the sun’s rays on his chickens. It only takes about 10 minutes to roast a small chicken, but Sutharat admits that the device doesn’t work so well when the skies are overcast. (TheJapanNews.com)
