Product Background
Some characteristics of the original product are:• Water is used to transfer heat for secondary use from pri-
mary burner • Flexible pipe is used to divert heat to another vessel or to
the same vessel.

Some limitations of the existing product are:
•No secondary heat storaNot formally marketable•ge facility – no secondary use for steam•Factor of safety is low – open circuit•Time to achieve steam is long•Water doesn't retain heat for long•Problem of maintaining water level•Corrosion•Scaling problems

Data collection
RESEARCHLooking at various models of "energy effi-cient" stoves over the world, and seeing "lo-cal" solutions to similar problems.• use of local materials• harnessing maximum energy• looking at conventional cooking spaces• looking at varied needs / requirements of end user• different functional attributes
The other countries that have similar products are:• Kenya• Ethiopia• Sri Lanka• China

Factors to be considered for detailed design
SAFETY• safety from open fire• pipe explosion• burning of biomass• leakage of oil• clogging of oil inside closed circuit• oil level should be maintained• thermal insulation• flash point of oil shouldn't be too low• stability of stove• hot plate• smoke free• no sharp edges

FUNCTIONS
• to satisfy conditions of primary and secondary
cooking• ability to accommodate different sizes of ves-
sels• to use maximum amount of the generated heat• portable• stable• easy ash removal• blowing device• ability to use different types of biomass - fire-
wood, charcoal, coconut shells, compost, dry
leaves, cow dung cakes • temperature indicator• hot plate function• hot plate surface quality• cleaning• non stick surface• flue gases directed away from user• flue gases used for secondary heating device

ERGONOMICS
• physical/visual ergonomics• height for reasonable access• smokeless• right weight for portability• prominent placement of indicators• handles for lifting• dimensions of stove• distance between plates• shape of pipe for ideal flow• materials used - use of local mate-
rials, availability, production techniques, color, texture• cultural attitude of cooking

MARKET
• cost - cost efficient, affordable• packaging - should emphasize "efficiency" of stove, include instructions for use• production - mass produced, materials, reduc-
tion in cost, advertising• technology• manufacture• distribution• retail• disposal• recycling
