Project Suyana Organization?

            - Let’s call ourselves a student group…. 

Fundraising Ideas

-       no DA: Ken, Dayna, and Erin made a somewhat executive decision that the DA just wouldn’t be possible this year given our small group size

o      also the nature and what the DA has become doesn’t necessarily reflect our group goals

Meeting Time

-       Let’s use the meeting time more productively, ie. actually research during meetings, etc.

-       Realistically we just don’t have the time in our busy lives to be doing all of this outside work and bringing it to meetings

Tyler’s in Peru

-       Went to Old Folk’s home

o      Clearing land and planting food, repairing chicken coop

o      Also need basic things like rice, etc.

o      Needs $$$ to fund this- Dayna will contact Tyler about this

§       Voted to give him the $100 needed (from the TCF account)

§       We’ll see if we can apply for funding

-       Trip info: Housing in an apt or at the University??

-       Stoves: Dr. Ivan said that there’s some type of NGO doing this, he’ll get back with the name…

-    Ask Tyler:

-       What NGO was working there installing stoves? Could we collaborate with them?

-       Can you take a picture of the burning stove at the Old Folk’s home?

-       Do they use their stoves for heat? What is used for fuel?

Pat’s Stove Presentation

-       Goals from Fall09

o      Test for reduction; change of scale for stove size, modify/optimize design; cooking level

o      Pat’s group chose to focus on “test for reduction” of household pollutants

- Testing:

o      Set up a room with the stove and testing meters

o      Tested for CO (most important for health) and CO2 levels (to use as a gauge for other pollutants), and also NO2, SO2 and O2

§       However data failed in some cases because the monitors malfunctioned

§       CO reduced by 80% and CO2 reduced by 70%

o      The real question is what went wrong? What could we change?

§       Air is less dense in general in puno…

§       If they vary fuels results can change (ie. plastic?)

§       If there are multiple stoves the airflow they generate may push the pollution into the next stove and get dirtier… etc.

§       *The heat gets pushed out of the stove* and the area isn’t as warm compared to an open fire

§       IMPLEMENTATION!

Pat’s Engineering Group- from his engin100 class- zane, taryn, marissa

-       going to build a stove according to those shown on proPeru website

o      goal: see if the current design is the best or if there’s room for improvement, change of scale (bigger vs. smaller)

-       will look at:

1)    smoke reduction- fuels?

2)    Thermal efficiency

3)    “cooking” efficiency

o      recommendations on design- change of scale? smaller in homes and bigger in Casa de Estar

-       considerations:

o      materials: clay, glass/sand, rebar

o      cost: proworld’s design roughly cost $5, in general they have low funds

o      fuels: plastics, biomass (wood, dung)

• Hiroko: Talked to ProPeru, they have an office in Urubamba, it takes half an hour to build one of these things.
