Narrator: The same researcher who helped create fuel efficient stoves for refugees
in Darfur is now testing the fuel efficiency of stoves being distributed in Haiti after
the country's devastating earthquake earlier this year.
We are trying to help figure out what is the best set of fuel-efficient stoves that should
be taken to Haiti in the reconstruction effort. There are close to a hundred non-profit organizations
actively trying to distribute stoves in Haiti, but they don't have a good ability - they
don't have any ability to test which stoves are how fuel efficient and we have offered
to do that. Gadgil has been working with teacher interns,
who are part of a Department of Energy-funded training program, to conduct these tests.
Teacher interns are participating in testing different stoves, so that we will be able
to provide a reliable, credible, scientifically defensible metric of how different stoves
perform.
