Dear Hussein,<br>
<br>
Thanks for your thoughtful reply. As you can see from the separate
replies by Andrew Heggie of the UK and Erich Knight in the USA, this
topic is of interest to many of us.<br>
<br>
I and Nolbert of Awamu in Kampala are interested in your development
of a workshop for stove production. <br>
<br>
The use of some of the generated power to operate a small fan on a
TLUD-FA stove is of interest, but (as you surely know) natural draft
units are also able to give the needed heat. BOTH avenues are of
interest.<br>
<br>
How open are you to collaborative efforts about linking the TEG in
TLUD stoves? The "TEG-TLUD" efforts could become collaborative or
competitive, depending on the desires of those involved. I favor
collaboration.<br>
<br>
Paul<br>

<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1463787661282_7604">Many thanks for
your email. I am indeed passionate about retrofitting TEGs to
already existing improved cooking stoves to increase their
functions especially for the end user to be able to watch a
television, able to treat water (UV treatment), able to listen
to radios, provide LED lighting as well as charge mobile
phones alongside biochar production.</div>

will make great contributions to the developing world,
considering the fact that about 1.4 billion people have no
access to power and since 2.8billion people are expected to be
relying on traditional biomass for cooking by 2030.</div>

on the dangers arising from indoor pollution.</div>

preferably be keen to succeed with the above initially with
individual households, where of course custom designs can
later be scaled up based on need and demand. From a research
perceptive, It would be great to compare the performance of
TEG retrofitted stoves with and without fans especially in
terms of fuel consumption rate, duration of operation,
emission levels, difference in costs, etc.</div>
