*August 2022: New solar dryer - Amirmehdi presents his latest construction, an updraft style solar dryer. It takes advantage of natural convective currents to move air up through the dryer, taking the moist air up and out. The hot air created by the external collector enters from the upper part of the chamber, and after getting moisture of the product becomes heavy and cold. The second collector, which is inside the container helps the first collector, and has the role of a solar chimney for suction from the bottom of the chamber where the moisture of the product collects.

*November 2017: Amirmehdi has been testing a solar cooker mounting system, similar to the gimbal mounts used on Donsonian style telescopes, and using PV power to generate enough energy to boil water in a small vessel.

*September 2017: Amirmehdi hopes to create an "Energy Café" at the institute where he works where food would be cooked in solar cookers.

*December 2015: Amirmehdi is shown with his Solar Picnic panel cooker. He is heating water with a unique bottle of his own design. It has a heat-absorbing black interior structure with a waffle-like surface to maximize the area available to sunlight.
*December 2015: Amirmehdi reports that he taught solar cooking at the Nioofar Solar House, and has now returned to lab management at Sharif University.
