Sustainable Wood Stove for Rural Homes - Gabriel Gonçalves P. de Castro - Bog

The target audience for this project is rural dwellers, as they are the main people affected by the absence of this resource. The aim of this work is to obtain totally renewable energy for general domestic use in appliances that consume little electricity, light and heat water in homes. As a proposed innovation, the aim is to adapt a heat exchanger tank to the wood-burning cooker itself. Filled with water, the tank heats it to a certain temperature, generating energy in the form of steam, which serves as fuel for a Stirling engine attached to the cooker. The mechanical energy produced by the engine is converted by a converter motor into electrical energy. It also structures a water heating system for the house by installing a coil and boiler system.
