Parabolic cookers & Vector 9

We recently participated in a short discussion about parabolic solar cookers on another forum. I thought I would share a web page with a few notes about how we attacked the project in Vector. http://www.vectorcam.com/cooker/ It was pointed out that the round design was a good way to heat the ends of a Hot Dog, but that a long trough might be a better design. ;-) There is a downloadable excel spreadsheet that generates a parabola spline which can be pasted into Vector to develop the design for variable focal lengths. Additional comments about the approach & concept are appreciated.

Also we posted a few pictures of some wooden parts cut with Vector 9.0 http://www.vectorcam.com Click the Vector 9 link. Swept contour raised letters and a complex swept curve pocket.
