Adaptive Design of a Prototype Electricity-Producing Biomass Cooking Stove
(2015)This work is a second iteration of an adaptive design project aimed at developing an appropriate off-grid technology for small-scale electricity generation in rural Malawi, and possibly for other developing countries. ... -
Battery Charging Considerations in Small Scale Electricity Generation from a Thermoelectric Module
(2014)This project involves the development of a prototype electrical gen erator for delivering and storing small amounts of electricity. Power is generated using the thermoelectric effect. A single ... -
Field Trial Testing of an Electricity-Producing Portable Biomass Cooking Stove in Rural Malawi
(2014)A novel off - grid electricity - producing device has been designed for integration with biomass - fuelled improved cooking stoves commonly in use in the developing world. The device operates on the ... -
Issues of Collaboration within Global Project Teams

Performance analysis of a prototype small scale electricity-producing biomass cooking stove
(2015)An electrical generator has been integrated with a locally produced, biomass-fed clay cooking stove in rural Malawi. The generator produces small amounts of electricity based on the thermoelectric effect. Five demonstrator ... -
Small Scale Electricity Generation from a Portable Biomass Cookstove: Prototype Design and Preliminary Results
(2013)The World Health Organisation estimates that over 20% of the global population (~1.4 billion people) lack access to electricity. Furthermore, 40% of the global population (~2.7 billion people) rely on the traditional use ... -
A Theoretical Overview of Unlearning in Engineering
(2016)Unlearning is the deliberate undoing or reversal of what has been previously learned. This skill has been acknowledged in business and academia as being increasingly important for engineers in a highly changeable 21st ...
