Projects under taken and completed by STARIC/Nepal
1> Research and dissemination of high hill improved metal cook stoves.
Description:
This project was basically an action research project, 12 stoves each were disseminated in two project areas, to get the users’ feed backs about the newly developed stove. After collecting and incorporating users’ feedback, a final product (cook stove) was developed which was later sent to both the project area.
Client: WWF/Np, Micro – fund SNV
Project Period: June 2004 – June 2006
Project Area:
a. Khumbu Region of Everest Trekking Route
b. Dolpa District Headquarter, Dunai and surrounding villages.

 |
Objective:
To identify an effective, low cost improved metal cook stove suitable for hilly areas in Dolpa and Solukhumbu.
Output:
This project developed the cook stove designed under the internationally proven rocket stove principle which is energy efficient in comparison with the existing stoves found in the project area. The stove is light in weight reducing the cost of transportation. This new stove can be knocked down into sheets which allows for less volume during transportation and many stoves can be transported in a single go.

2>Research on Low Cost Portable Metal Stove
Description:
Basically this project was of consulting type under which a portable, one pothole cook stove was designed and tested in the laboratory. The stove is designed following the internationally proven rocket stove principle which is energy efficient in comparison with the existing stoves found in the project area. The stove is light in weight hence portable.
Client: Caritas – HUDEC – Sri Lanka
Project Period: December 2005 - June 2006

Objective:
To design a portable cook stove for the Tsunami Victims of Sri Lanka.
Output:
A one pot hole, portable cook stove is the end product of this project.

3>Design and Development of Forced Draught High Performance Heavy Impeller for Fixed Chimney Brick Kiln
Description:
This was a consulting project under which a high performance heavy impeller fan for fixed chimney brick kiln needs to be designed and supervise the fabrication of the designed product as per the client’s requirement. The design was based on the existing fan which the client was using in his kiln. The new fan is the modified product according to the requirement.
Client: Lapa Brick Industries
Project Period: September 2005 – February 2006
