Title: Study and design a solar powered electric oven Summary: The project consists of the design of a solar powered electric oven for cooking gari. Indeed, the gari is a special cassava flour which is widely consumed in Benin. We found that its preparation method is still artisanal using firewood d

Water is a requirement for many activities essential to human existence. Unfortunately, only 21.69% of Nigerians have access to potable water supply, many of whom live in rural communities that also lack access to modern energy services and the internet. Our solution is a semi-automatic water vendin

This project proposes the use of a hydrogen smart battery scaled as a mini grid to store energy for a village in Malawi that decouples supply from demand, uses frugal and affordable technology, and improves quality of life through job creation and more reliable access to energy. While villages with

Project Summary This report determined that a Lemongrass filter, attached to a floor fan, is an attainable solution to improve the particulate matter within air. Using locally sourced grass and focusing on countries with the lowest access to grid electricity, it is proposed that the space cooling a

Sub-Saharan Africa struggles significantly with food waste, as up to half of all produce grown is lost due to spoilage. A core cause of this loss is the lack of a reliable cold chain and refrigeration capabilities. By targeting the distribution and markets part of the cold chain, new refrigeration t

The project involves temperature, humidity, and soil moisture content monitoring for a Greenhouse Enclosed environment. The system will then trigger output devices via the programmed microcontroller to regulate these conditions automatically, thus when temperature, humidity, or moisture content is o

ADVANCING THERMACELL " Project Summary "The main aim of advancing thermacell is to safegurd both the highly breeding zone of mosquitoes and the normal mosquitoes conditions.The design is simple containing components such as solar panel,timer, resistor,capacitor and other simple components.Its worka

The main challenge in the vegetable supply chain is the wastage that occurs due to inadequacies in the cold chain. The impact of this wastage is enormous, for instance many potential consumers in need of buying vegetables are not able to find the vegetables fresh. In fact, often times vegetables

The scope of the project 'Solar Direct Drive Cold Storage System for Off-Grid Preservation of Fish and Perishable goods' includes strategic research and implementation of an off-grid fish preservation and cold storage system used in locations with unreliable/no access to electricity. The project in

Electric Bikes are in high demand due to rising air pollution in rural/urban regions and fuel scarcity, as well as for transportation needs, although most people are unaware of their existence. The study's goal is to determine consumer knowledge of E-Bikes as well as user perceptions and to create a

CoolMunal, a community cold storage solution for 20 families was designed. The aim is not only to reduce food wastage in Sub-Saharan African, but also improve the nutrition and diet of the population. The high cost of a personal fridge, and the lack of access to proper grid electricity were consid

As Chad has one of the highest percentages of hunger in the world, this project aims to improve the quality of the agriculture sector in Chad. Furthermore, it aims to tackle climate change by relying on renewable sources and smart irrigation systems. This design is using solar power as the main sour

We are proposing an affordable PAYGo solar-powered grain milling service, designed to be connected to mini-grids in rural Rwanda. Our solution is holistic, sustainable and regenerative, and gives local communities the skills and tools to help themselves. Our solution provides a constant, reliable an

Project Summary: We designed a solar-powered movable phone charging station to help improve electricity access in rural areas of the Benin Republic as it has one of the least access to electricity in sub-Saharan Africa with a huge mobile phone penetration. This design aims to tackle the issue of mak

The design makes use of centrifugal force to agitate the soaked clothes. The centrifugal force is caused by the DC motor rotation which is driven by the 12V battery charged by 100W solar PV. The washing machine is able to wash 3kg of clothes in 10minutes

The proposed design cooler box is a refrigeration system with a thermoelectric cooling components and it will be powered with solar PV energy and works based on Peltier cooling principle . This system is cost effective and environmentally friendly. The main highlight of this design is an ice stora
