In reply to Anon. IR heat from the sun is able to enter the box but the glass prevent the heat to get out.

It works by virtue of solar heat and convection. Top that off with moisture sapping wood construction and you have a good food drier. The main thing is to let it breathe while keeping bugs out.

Sorry, this was a school project, so we didn’t follow up. We used it a couple times and then donated it to the sustainability department.

Can you please update your article with information how this dehydrator works to dehydrate food? Judging from the pictures alone it’s hard to tell how the end construction achieves the goal.
