2.  Situational Background  Goals  Assumptions  Constraints  Current cooking systems  Possible solutions  Proposed solution ◦ Design ◦ CAD prototype ◦ Specifications

3.  System to be implemented in Rural Kenya  Nyeri is the initial focus  Sponsored by Shell Energy Company  Aided by Children and Youth Empowerment Center (CYEC)  Subsistence farmers

4.  Design a new cooking system to implement in Nyeri Kenya ◦ More fuel efficient ◦ Faster cooking time ◦ Culturally acceptable ◦ Low cost (under 20 USD)

5.  Concern exists towards family health  Natives willing to spend more for a superior product  Food culture will not drastically change  Interest in creating a new industry

6.  Cost  Weather/environment  Transportation  Technology  Culture

7.  Subsistence farmers in Rural Kenya  Low income (<$1 per day)  Large families  No economic escape

8.  Jiko woodstove (Rural Kenya)  Wood gasifier stove (Rural India)  Envirofit (India)  Gas stove (Urban areas)

9.  Two models ◦ Domestic or industrial  Difference of size ◦ Domestic widely used in Nyeri and Kenya  Very inexpensive (~2-4 USD)  Hand-made

10.  Small size  Made easily  Cheaper than Jiko (~0.25 USD)  Hand-made

11.  US-made  Efficient burning  Faster cook times  Expensive (~50 USD)  Durable  Consistent

12.  Expensive  More modern  Fast cooking time  High energy/high heat  Less than 10% have LPG

13.  Parabolic Solar Cooker  Solar box cooker  Rocket stove  Biomass stove  Wood gasifier

15.  Fueled primarily by wood or biomass  Solar energy to aid efficiency  System based off the Jiko ◦ Price range ◦ Increased craftsmanship  Parts can be assembled locally, cheaply ◦ Estimate ~8-12 USD

16.  Insulated Fire chamber ◦ Ceramic insulation  Stove top ◦ Steel holders  Solar reflection panels ◦ Aluminum paneling  Burner door ◦ Cleaning, better efficiency

17.  Stove dimensions ◦ 20-24”h (top of panels) ◦ 14” base diameter ◦ 10” stove top ◦ 9” x 5” stove door  Cost ◦ Stove based on Jiko models in use  $4-6 ◦ Solar paneling  $4-6
