Cooking stove that could save millions of lives.
Traditional wood cooking fumes kill more people globally than Malaria and TB. Cooking with wood in a confined space kills more people globally than malaria or tuberculosis. The World Health Organization estimates that more than four million people die prematurely every year from using solid fuels and open fires inside their homes.
People in poor regions need a more affordable alternative thus a Mexican entrepreneur Carlos Glatt designed a cheap, efficient 15cm x 15cm stove powered by an alcohol-based fuel.This allows people to use it to cook inside their homes with no smoke issue.
The Glatt Stove, looks like a simple camping stove, but the fuel is liquid, not gas. A one-litre bottle of Glatt Stove fuel costs $1, can cook for up to five hours and is as easy to transport as a bottle of Coca-Cola. It's the cheapest stove in the world, according to Glatt, and it's very efficient. culled from wired.co.uk
