Abstract
After getting introduced to the grounds of Ecofagoa, the job site where I would be working for the next couple of months, I was then quickly rushed into the project that I was assigned too. Josh Heyne was my U.D. engineering partner that came with me to Brazil. He had flown in two weeks previous to me and new Portuguese a lot better than I did so he was nice enough to give it his best shot in translating what Ronaldo, part owner of Ecofagoa, wanted me to do. Josh did in fact speak Portuguese a lot better then I did but was still a little shaky. What Josh had gotten out of the conversation with Ronaldo was that I was to design and produce a prototype of a stove that used wood as its fuel source. I was to cut the cost making it as cheap as I could. The only requirements that were given to me was that I was to keep the same Iron cooking plate ( Iron plate that the pots are set on to heat up, called Chapa in Portuguese), The same combustion chamber, and the same chimney.
