Abstract: A mirror for use in a shower or other location which is formed of a thin sheet of impact-resistant material having a reflective front surface and a smooth back surface. The sheet of material is light in weight relative to its area. It is temporarily adhered to a smooth, substantially vertical, flat support surface, such as a shower wall, in a stable position by a liquid film applied to either the mirror or the wall. A method of mounting a mirror in the form of a thin, lightweight sheet having a reflective front surface to a smooth, flat wall including the steps of wetting either the mirror or wall, and adhering the mirror to the wall by pressing the mirror against the wall to form a liquid film behind the mirror is described.

Abstract: This invention relates to a portable, high performance solar powered oven, distiller, heater and light directing survival apparatus which is fabricated of light weight, flexible materials that can be easily collapsed for convenient mobility.The invention is formed by concentrating incident solar radiation by means of a funnel shaped reflector into a transparent container which concentrically surrounds a solar heat exchanger. The reflector, transparent container and heat exchanger are constructed in such a way as to permit the heating of food, water, air or desalination reactants to temperatures in excess of 400.degree. F., yet when collapsed, can all fit within the small portable transparent container.
