About the Project
Develop a simple ventilation system for kitchens in rural dwellings using electrical power generated from thermoelectric cells driven by waste heat from cooking fires. Develop and test a ceramic drinking water filter system that uses less fuel-wood to fire the kiln. Test the performance of a biofuel for cooking made from corn stover as a replacement for fuel-wood. A systematic integration of these technical developments will provide an effective and innovative approach to health challenges in the home.
