Research Projects

SunSmile's staff and volunteers are constantly looking for potential areas of need where our approach can produce large results with a minimal amount of cost . In addition to the development of improved biomass stove/oven and hybrid solar ovens, we are currently evaluating the potential of several future projects. A partial list of our initial proposals is located below. SunSmiles welcomes your contributions and experience in these areas, in our open forum, or if you have a new idea for a project, please email us at idea[at)sunsmiles.org. In keeping of our philosophy of efficiency, our field studies, designs and research are always public domain.
