A Review: Power generation using rural cooking Method

Abstract: The system is dealing with the generation of electricity from low temperature domestic excess heat. Excess of heat energy from cooking at rural houses can be used for generation of electrical energy. Since burning wooden logs are the method used in many rural areas for cooking food where LPG and Electricity connections are not available. There are a lot of excess heat energy wasted due to this method of cooking. This heat energy can be used to rotate rotor of stirling engine which will be connected to a dynamo. The dynamo results in generation of current. This current can be stored in a battery and can be used later. This may even work if LPG gases are used for cooking. Apart from that, solar panel is also used which will be providing electrical energy to the battery. So the battery is receiving energy from two different sources. This will result in betterment.
