Wow, a fantastic idea James. How can we help. Have you connected with any university labs?
Looking forward to seeing your concept come to life.
Thank you Uprising!, no i have yet to connect with any university labs. Are there any in particular that you would suggest might be helpful with my project?
Hi James, might be worth connecting with this company,

James- you may like to check IdeaSpies for ideas on hydrogen that could be useful:
I love the concept and hope to add some useful research. The article lists several ways that hydrogen could be used in a cooking environment that could be directly incorporated into your design.

Keep up the amazing work.
Wow. Love the updated images James. Fantastic.
What a fantastic idea! An up and coming engineer. Keep going with the fantastic work, James!
Getting rid of wood, coal or other toxic home cooking/heating systems is definitely needed - so awesome driver and focus. A key challenge though will always be to ensure alternatives are easily accessible and cheap to be mass produced. Given some of the challenges associated with sourcing clean water and managing hydrogen gases, perhaps the same sort of engineering concept could work for a battery cook-top, re-charged by solar power? It might provide a clean energy, more affordable, more manageable and safer option?
Hi jjameswood,
It’s always exciting to see more uses for green hydrogen, especially to help remote communities, but I think you need to keep a few things in mind with this design.
First, hydrogen is dangerous! You would really want to generate hydrogen in a safe place and store it in safe containers, like the natural gas cylinders that are already quite common.
Secondly, I can see that your design operates by using batteries to run the electrolysis machine, but if you have access to power and sufficient battery storage to generate hydrogen when power isn’t running, why use hydrogen? You will always lose energy to heat when converting from one form to another, and by including the hydrogen step you will require a lot more electricity to cook your food. Simply using widely available and affordable electric cooktops would be a better solution in this scenario.
This is not to disparage a hydrogen solution for cooking because I definitely think there is room for something there! I would consider a community level solution, where hydrogen generation can be done safely and at scale. A generation plant, connected to solar, filling an array of cylinders that community members can come, swap and collect, and take home to their hydrogen cooktop would be green, safe, and appropriate for many situations.
Good evening Jameswood.

Hey jjameswood,
Your project of using electrolysis to produce hydrogen for clean cooking is truly commendable and addresses a critical need for sustainable energy solutions. However, there are some aspects that could be further refined to enhance its impact and feasibility.
Firstly, it would be beneficial to delve deeper into the feasibility and accessibility of implementing electrolysis technology on a large scale. Conducting thorough research into the cost-effectiveness and scalability of this technology would provide valuable insights into its practicality and potential for widespread adoption. Here is a report you could look into for more information: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0360319923024229
Secondly, ensuring the durability and longevity of the gas stove is crucial, especially in communities with limited resources. Investigating materials and construction methods that can withstand various environmental conditions and heavy use over time would be essential to maximise the stove's lifespan and impact.
Hi James. Just saw this, thought it might be of interest to you. Not sure if you could get there before school,

Hi there James, congratulations, you are nearly there, hope all is going well.
We are sending out a little request - if you could update the image on your Post to show a little collage of your projects development that would be fantastic. We will be awarding the top three UpRising design projects for 2024 and the UpRising alliance and community love to see the journey of your design.
There is a little feedback survey, if you could fill it in that would fantastic as it really helps us to understand how we can better help next years design students.
https://forms.gle/XLgNBqQepAw2Go5q7
It also has an option for you to select if you would like to continue to be involved in UpRising next year and beyond. Lots of interesting ways to continue to build connections within the design industry. Great for your resume and career paths.
Wishing you all the best with your trials and finishing touches on your MDP.
Shout out if we can help in any way.
