[Stoves] News: Philips-inspired stoves in India

[Frans Peeters]

Dear  Nikhil

 

       Congratulations  to  the woman stove constructors !

To make stoves still cheaper you could take clay stat expensive fire concrete /cement.

To prevent splitting you make tree separates peaces by plastic foil separated till dryed .

       We only live  50 km from Philips Eindhoven and Fons worked for Philips .

I prefere  a 30L metal TLUD wood gasifier of 3 kg ,it is easy to take out for ash discarding and I need the radiating heat not for cooking but room heating .

For  a smoke free room you  make a labo type  fumehood and  a high chimny at 30-50 cm from the stove .!

 

 

Regards

Frans

IIT-Delhi drive helps ease life of villagers <http://www.asianage.com/metros/delhi/110417/iit-delhi-drive-helps-ease-life-of-villagers.html> , Sushmita Ghosh, Asian Age, 11 April 2017

 

IIT is acronym for Indian Institute Technology, a government-owned technical college. 

Women of Chattarpur, a village in south Delhi, have appropriated the Philips design with IIT boys' help and make modern wood stoves for sale.

 

I don't know if the business will be over when everybody in their village and the expanding metropolitan area without LPG or piped natural gas connections would have bought one or two Philips stove. 

Is this a caution to Philips, et al. who seek to sell stoves in India?

Questions worth discussing at Clean Cooking Forum 2017.
