**Peace `Steemians`,**

I hope you are doing well on this month of February. I have read about an innovative stove that helps families around the world that I would like to share with the communities. One in four people in the world live without electricity. They can not store food in an electric refrigerator. They have to cook using dangerous fires. And they can not see at night unless they have light powered by fuel or battery. Without electricity, many small jobs are more difficult - especially daily jobs, like cooking.

Lack of electricity is a major problem. But a group of scientists and one not-for-profit organization are working together to try and solve this problem. They have created an unusual, new stove that can do much more than just cook. It can also produce electricity and work as a refrigerator - to keep food cool. How does this stove produce electricity? It does it in a very unusual way. The Stove produces electricity from sound waves! The thermoacoustic engine has no moving parts. Instead, it uses a system of pipes containing hot and cold air. When the hot and cold air meet, powerful vibrations or sound waves are produced. And this sound energy is more powerful than traditional heat energy.

The first thermoacoustic engine cost a lot of money to develop. It was also difficult to use. However, many scientists could see the ways that this new engine could help people living without electricity. So scientists at Nottingham University in the United Kingdom decided to try and improve the new technology. They decided to change the engine’s design a little. They also decided to power the engine using a cooking stove. The Stove is powered by a small wood fire. The stove traps the heat and smoke produced by the fire. This reduces the amount of smoke that escapes into the air. It makes cooking a lot easier. The stove also uses less wood than a normal fire stove. After creating the SCORE Stove, the University of Nottingham scientists decided to test it. They began working with a not for profit organizations called Practical Action. Together, they started testing the stove in areas of Nepal and Kenya. > QuoteIt was a great day for us! We managed to create powerful sound waves in our system. We could make electricity using the new stove. It was a great time for our engineers. They successfully lit a small light and boiled water at the same time using the wood fire stove.

**Thanks for your attention reading this post.**
