Solar Powered Ventilation System
Submitted by: Tim W.
Many who live in impoverished areas still cook over indoor fires. The resulting smoke can be highly damaging to the lungs of the occupants in the hut, especially infants and young children. Respiratory issues can result similar to those caused by high exposure to cigarette smoke. Electric stoves might be a solution but could require a hookup to the power grid and an added cost which a large percentage of households can’t afford. Toyota’s Solar Powered Ventilation System could be used to draw smoke from the building. This application would be environmentally friendly, would improve the health of individuals who can’t afford good health care, and move families toward a lifestyle where energy could be collected from sustainable sources.
