Biodigestion of baked beans!
We have several products ready for prototyping next semester. We plan to build a small biodigestor and test the improved thermal design. We will be using baked beans as a surrogate for latrine waste!
More to do!
We will be talking to our partner in Beirut, Lebanon at the end of the month about testing our products there next summer. Stay tuned for more updates!
Prototype for fabricating sanitary pads!
We are so excited! Our ME design team is finishing the first prototype to fabricate sanitary pads. This is entirely made by the team in our wood shop.
Thank you!
Lights change the world
