Need/Problem Statement What Do We Know? What Do We Need to Know? What Have We Learned? Brainstorm (Free-form) Brainstorm (Focused) Evaluation (Unweighted) Evaluation (Weighted) Finished Product Analysis Sources
To develop a better cook stove than what is currently in place Clean Efficient Inexpensive
Low income Urban-cook indoors, rural-cook outdoors Smoke inhalation CYEC Infrastructure
Feasibility of solar cooking Kenya’s natural resources Price points and performance of materials Waste products of fuels Winners and losers
Common fuels: firewood, coal, LPG, kerosene Solar power is very feasible (weather) Natural Resources: wildlife and land Potential Winners and Losers=consumers, producers of new solution, Jiko producers
Methane as fuel Improve jiko Solar power Develop a filter for the byproducts of cooking Trim down the Envirofit by using cheaper materials where possible Combine multiple ideas for fuel, materials, etc.
Materials (metals) Cheap alloy (steel, aluminum, etc) Plastic Fuel Everything Organic Refuse Man-made refuse Coal Wood Gassifier pellets Clean Blue flame Filtration Water compartment so smoke gets trapped Sponge filter
