Nearly half the people on Earth use inefficient fuel sources like wood or coal to cook their food. Every year three to four million people die from illnesses related to smoke inhalation from cooking this way, as smoke from open fires contains high amounts of toxic chemicals which can cause a variety of illnesses, including lung cancer and stroke.
To help combat this global health issue, Danny Wilson from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has developed a specially designed efficient cookstove. Wilson and his team are distributing these stoves to places like Sudan, Darfur and Ethiopia where the problem is quite prevalent.
Laura Ling spoke with Wilson to find out more about his life-saving project for this Seeker Stories video.

Cookstove Projects at Berkeley
"In Sudan's war-torn region of Darfur, women must walk for hours to find firewood, risking attack every step of the way. In 2005, the U.S. government asked Dr. Ashok Gadgil, Deputy of Lawrence Berkeley National Lab's Energy Technologies Area, for a solution to this grave problem. His team designed a fuel-efficient cookstove which is tailored to Darfur's climate and cooking. The Berkeley-Darfur Stove requires less than half the fuel of traditional cooking methods, decreasing women's exposure to violence while collecting firewood and their need to trade food rations for fuel."

"We've designed, implemented, and scaled a high-efficiency cookstove distribution model that has impacted the lives of over 1?4 million people. We've distributed over 42,000 stoves in Sudan and Ethiopia, achieved high stove usage rates and measured our impact objectively through sensors and frequent contact with users."

Despite the Interesting comments, this was an interesting story. I like hearing about the things that go under the radar for large company journalists. Cool video.

So.. its basicly an inefficient rocket stove.. great. Teach people how to build a low fuel cooking stove without tools instead of giving them shit they don't really need..
Thought the same I used to make better stoves out of cans in my youth. this is a joke
This is a bad joke. If you don't teach people they'll be ignorant and stupid for the rest of their lives.
Short lives too.
For people saying chimney, you can stick your hand in one to stir food like ugali. Your skin would melt off. People do have chimneys but for cooking there, has to be space around the stove for the heat to dissipate and not go straight up.
Kenyan, born here.
Also cooking is done in a separate portion of a house or on the side of a home with two small additional walls for wind protection. Only large items are not cooked near a home. Like goat for family event, but they are costly.
Richard I would just like to that when we had chimney sweepers a lot of them where kids and a lot of them got different types of cancer.
How about building a chimney?
Or they could just cook outside like a proper barbeque.
My grandmother recently passed away due to her lungs getting damaged from all the inhalation cooking with log. She cooked this way for 60+ years in South America. It just hit me that feeding her children and grandchildren is what caused her death. Love and miss you Mama Victoria.

Until we run out of fish.
Why not cook outside?! They cannot blame it on bad weather...
In Sudan they do cook outside, that is why respiratory illness are mostly caused by the dust from the desert. Respiratory illness coming from the burning of biomass are in places where they have to cook inside due to bad weather (rainy season, cold, etc.)
Well.. smoking kills.
In Indonesia most of us use Liquid Petroleum Gas as the energy source of our stoves. Our government packed it in a 3kg LPG container and sell it for about $1.5. It's so widely distributed despite the geographical conditions.
My family of four usually consume one 3kg LPG for 21 days. When i was a kid we still used old kerosene stove that's very dangerous to health. At some point in my life most people just convert to LPG.
We still use coconut skin or charcoal as the secondary sources of cooking energy but it's mainly used to keep the traditional taste of our grilled seafood/meat/skewers. You'll find street food vendors to use it and the smoke will attract people. The street food vendors usually use fan to shoo away the killing smoke.
Why don't you teach them about chimneys
They have chimneys, but even a chimney in a small closed not ventilated room is not enough to reduce the number of particles in the air.
Jean Roy- I don't mean to talk bad about them, I don't know them but lazy people always will work twice as hard
My wife's mother can slap a chimney with stones and mud in half a day and she lives on a poor section in Mexico
They have a stove but hand made tortillas just taste much better when done on a huge natural open fire every morning may I add
Naveen Drall... well you that depends, do you go to work once every month? If so, why? You already worked last week.... type of conundrum right.
Doesn't it also rid pests at the same time?
And if there is no good in it, why are they not just building a chimney?
I learned something today, thank you.
Wood + Charcoal + possibly other biomass + Fire = energy as heat to cook food
there are multiple issues with this equation. The individual is still contributing to far greater environmental as well as personal concerns. So why not create a stove that relies on solar instead, the tech is there and its feasible. What do you guys think?
Why don't they just cook outside?
Or use barbeques?
This wil probably get lost in the sea of comments
I think you are commenting on a wrong channel
TheMinipasila Yes, there are only 11 comments. 😑
+Gaming with Jacques What a profound statement.
Cooking Can Be Deadly.... so i see you tried my ex wife's food
ok funny guy .. let yourself out
Hey guys this design is used in India for hundreds of years. It is called 'SIGDI' here.

Celina k hi i dint get what do you mean to say. I am new to youtube
a plus indicates that the person agreed with you: the more replies your comment gets the more people see it. a plus is a good way of drawing attention to good comments
Thomas Richardson thanks mate +
I think the "+" thing was started by Hank Green on the vlogbrothers channel. Replies give more visibility to comments than "likes", so they just leave a "+" and move on.
Yeah, but people do not want to change. I mean cooking with biogas is cheap and easy, but people do not use it. MEH!
corduroy99 When you don't have much money your more likely to choose the free option of wood, rather than a cheap cleaner alternative.
Tom Zhackray
Mmm, food scraps, animal dung can't get any freer than that. BUT, people don't want to change or don't know. Plus, you don't have to walk miles to get it.
This sounds stupid.
Seems quite hard to understand why this solution is a good one. Here's a view that might help alleviate the lack of comprehension:
When you have more basic everyday life challenges you can't be bothered to build a non-portable chimney and sophisticated stove. Teaching these people how to handle exhaust gasses might help but then you're stuck with the issue of education which is next in line to be solved (and also consider basic sanitation).
I was about to say "hey what about solar cookers" because they obviously won't have much of an issue with cloud coverage but introducing technology would make it more difficult to go on about their daily lives.
The elegance of the sheet metal stove is that it is a real no-brainer. Apart from fitting in perfectly with the habits of the users it does not require learning new things, it's perfectly durable and portable. It might also become a desirable status symbol, furthering the introduction to the users.
Unfortunately only mentioned as a side note the most important feature will be the improved efficiency and reduction of fuel use.
So yes, they may be dependent on these low price products - but they're great value, a no fuss drop-in solution and immediately double the usefulness of the fuel.
Gasification and rocket stoves would work great.
Just give them a 2 standard cinder blocks and an H block for a two burner rocket stove or a 4'X6" steel cylinder with 1-5 angled intake pipes at the base and a hand cranked or weak electric blower (optional) for a 1 burner gasification stove. Both stoves burn the black ash, CO, methane and other organic compounds leaving nothing but water, CO2, N2 as gasses and the metallic compounds as white ash down in the burn chamber.
There are much better technologies than this that already exists-why are they not being reported on? For example, a sun oven. For what they are spending on research they could provide these people with an oven that uses reflection off metal from the sun to heat up an "oven" area and cook food. You can make roasts, cookies, dress, rice-anything in there! You can even order it off Amazon ! I am going to order one for my family simply because I am tired of heating up my kitchen in the summer, but it can also be used in the dead of winter just so long as it is sunny out. For developing area without a lot of sun, a reduced wood cook stove may be useful-but I know a lot of areas use dung for fuel-don't know if this new stove will work with dung.
The best choice would be a solar cooker. There have been many programs trying to distribute these for free, but most of them failed because in the long-term they weren't accepted because cooking habits would need to be changed. Solar cookers have further advantages in terms of not requiring wood, so depletion of forests can be prohibited. Furthermore people have more time because firewood doesn't need to be gathered anymore, in which many of these people invest a lot of time.

My grandfather has used 2 different sized coffee cans nestled inside the other with sand as insulation and a hole thru the side for the fuel as a camping stove for 60 years. You can cook a meal with a handful of wood. No sensors needed just sense.
biolite stoves, problem already has efficient burning viable solution
how about build them better homes with chimneys. But no we always seek to suppress the symptoms of a problem rather than open our minds to definitive solutions.
some times I cook like that I do it outside and I don't stay that close I go and check on it every few minutes haven't people been cooking like this form the beginning
this is a great video showing that people have awesome ideas if they put their mind to it. We need tp pray that we find and support more people like that. God has a good plan for everybody and Jesus is the connection to God so lets start praying for each other.
Didn't a smokeless stove already been created and was handed out during some tsunami? I remember for sure that there is already one made...
Video like this should me longer. It is educational but what is actually getting done?
Looks like a Medieval cauldron mixed with an industrial stove.
This is like developing better printing machines to cope with inflation.
Not saying that its a problem we dont need to worry about at all, but there are more people who die due to lack of food. Comparing to that, this is an issue that have less to worry about.
There is a type of stow called "Aluva Aduppukal" is very much effective in reducing the smoke while cooking with sticks and wood. I couldn't find any link explaining how it works, but It works.
this is made soooo dramatic
it is a issue, but I would take the message more serious, if the wouldn't make such a drama out of it
first
Saeyoung Konishi First reply to first posted comment. My Feng Shui has increased. ☯
solar cooking with huge pickle jars!!!!!!!!!!!!
can anyone temme how their organization is funded??
he can do other concept to o tell the people to convert their excess wood into carcoal as carcoal is more efficient then the wood
Why not teach them how to make clay ovens or chimney cooking stoves?
How about using coil
Or induction principal
Why don't they just make chimneys?
LMAO what are those BS statistics?!?! hahaha
surely a lot of the time you can just move the stove outside?
Don't cook inside.
very pleasent site, subscribed.
Interesting
1:07 When someone asks me if I want pizza
Erm.... why can't they just cook outside???
Dinner would get cold
Who is the host (the female)
1:07 this is funny xD
Very sad!

dang that bear looks hot
WYang Dang that Chinese chick looks hot. I want to G.H.B.T.P. 😍
cool
Just think if you were black and were left in Africa, 400 years later and would still be living the same in 2016.
engineering at its best
Have you ever heard of bridges? Or luxury car brands? You'll be flabbergasted.
I was being sarcastic and highly offensive towards african people and nations. I apologise.
BUT FUCK, you see engineering at its best in this crapload? Thats weird man. Spooky.
Diogo Mendes I am Mechanical Engineer. I am well aware about bridges and cars. What you failed to notice is that this device provides instant solution to people in rural areas related to their cooking problems. They don't even have to wait for years for some other fuel like natural gas or some other technology like solar or induction cooker to reach them. Don't you see this device is increasing effective heat transfer between food and fuel source. It may seems small and simple but it is very effective.
I see it is very effective, what I don't see is how these starving people will get money to effectively pay for it and make it profitable!
I'm just being offensive again, and for that I'm very sorry.
simple filtered masks? would that help? please be nice if that is a stupid question.
MrSensitiveNipples sounds good, it just a question of how long they'll last
MrSensitiveNipples usually mask filter makers recommended to change the filters in few months. It might help them for a few months, but at last they cannot afford the cost for every family members.
And how much they cost. I imagine that a overhauled cooking pot has a much better longevity and is significantly cheaper, given that an entire family could use it. In order for masks to be effective, everyone would need one of them when they are near the cooking area which would increase the overall cost again.
Maybe instead of a mask, some sort of fan for ventilation?
