Hi Everyone,
Here is the list of our research topics (rough outline).
Joey - will look at existing technology already being used in other countries
and theoretical/ new technology.
- will pick a suitable design compared with the materials available,
and decide how many are needed for the community.
- will define the limitations and efficiency of the chosen design.
Cameron - will look at micro-organisms already being used in other countries
and micro-organisms found locally.
- will pick one based on the type of waste it eats, the amount
of methane it produces, the temperature range it requires, and the
availability/ cost of replacing it.
- will define how it interacts with the inner working of the
bio-digester.
Qi Qi - will look at new and existing technology for capturing/ storing the
methane produced and transporting it where needed.
- will pick a suitable storage design relative to the materials
available and the methane produced.
- will suggest an existing cooking method for using the methane.
- if the methane produced exceeds the estimated need for cooking
with, will suggest other uses for using the methane.
Pramod - will find information as to how much waste is available in the area
for bio-digesting.
- will find information as to what other materials are readily
available for use in the area.
- will help Edward.
Edward - will find information pertaining to the background of the community
(i.e. demographic for age, education level, belief systems, etc).
- will find information as to the average climate, the range of
climate, number of wet days, rainfall, etc.
- will define the relevant constraints as to the background of the
community (i.e. can women work?, is cow poo sacred?).
Remember this needs to be 6 pages long each before April 1st. If anyone has
done their allocated research and has not met the required 6 pages they may
take some from Joey (as her's will most likely be longer than 6 pages).
