Project Background: The purpose of this project is to build on the work done by the previous projects P12441 and P12442, to develop two thermoelectric stove prototypes that will be ready for field testing in Haiti for the summer of 2013. Haitians use lump charcoal as part of their cooking practices, which has led to significant deforestation as well as widespread illness from exposure to biomass smoke. The stoves will improve upon the design of existing and previous projects with the goals of substantially reducing fuel consumption and dangerous emissions. Problem Statement: The end goal of the project is to have two fully functional thermoelectric stoves that are more economical and safer to use than their traditional Haitian counterparts.
