| Description | Development of Stove running on low ethanol concentration Most of the rural households in India and in other developing countries cook food on inefficient and smoky biomass cookstoves. Besides creating environmental pollution, these stoves create health problems for a housewife and are based on biomass, which is not easily accessible and tedious to collect. Nevertheless every rural household aspires to have a cooking technology and fuel which gives a blue flame and is very user-friendly [1]. Nimbkar Agricultural Research Institute (NARI), Phaltan, MAharashtra, India have developed a simple ethanol stove which can run on 50% ethanol/water mixture. The power of stove is 2.5 kW(thermal). Shortly they will test 10 of these units in rural homes nearby. |
