3.  We recognize the need to provide a stove system that is safe and can be used by the majority of third world countries

4.  Current cooking systems are inefficient and harmful to users who inhale smoke while cooking indoors  Must be cheap  Limited resources

5.  We intend on creating a low cost, sustainable, and culturally appropriate cooking system for use by the poor and marginalized people in the developing world.

6.  Objectives  Durable  Well insulated  Efficient  Safe  Locally made  Made of local materials

7.  Constraints  Cheap  Low emissions  Simple design  Similar in size to current models  Features  Simple fuels  Ability to Upgrade

8.  The stove must cost less than $20 (U.S.)  It must be able to heat a quart water to 100 degree Celsius in under 10 minutes  It must emit 50% less than current stove systems  It must use 50% less fuel

9.  Materials were decided upon with efficiency and cost in mind  Insulation material for designs will be a clay shell filled with ash  Ceramic material will be used as a sturdy insulator  A steel shell will enclose the stove for protection

10.  This design features a “bowl-shaped heat exchanging surface” which provides high heat exchange rate and therefore high efficiency, which saves a lot of energy.

12.  Uses a simple ceramic pipe as a center  A bowl shaped pot is used for maximum heat transfer  A steel casing is used around the clay  Steel supports are used to lift the bowl off of the stove for ventilation

14.  The heat exchange area is cone shaped to increase the heat transfer  Steel supports are used to lift the pot away from the body of the stove to increase airflow  Steel casing for protection

17.  12” in diameter, 18” high  3” Clay shell filled with ash  ½” thick ceramic inner combustion chamber  1/8” Steel outer shell wrapped around the clay  Fuel pellets

19.  Scrap steel is approximately $.10 per pound  Clay is approximately $.25 per pound  Ceramic chamber is approximately $1.00 per pound  Cost of ash insulation is negligible  In total, steel will be about $1, $3 for clay, $2 for ceramic  Final material cost will be around $6

20.  We feel this stove system will provide a low cost, sustainable, and safe alternative to currently available systems  The design is simple and utilizes locally available materials, which will allow unskilled workers to manufacture and repair it
