Stove research and development
The search for safer, cleaner stoves remains to many an important if low-profile area of modern technology.

Stoves in common use around the world, particularly in Third World
countries, are considered fire hazards and worse: according to the
World Health Organization, a million and a half people die each year from indoor smoke inhalation caused by faulty stoves.
[5] An engineer's "Stove Camp" has been hosted annually since 1999 by
Aprovecho Research Center[10] (Oregon, US) with the intent of designing a cheap, efficient, and healthy stove for use around the world.
[11] Other engineering societies (see
Envirofit, Colorado, US) and philanthropic groups (see the
Gates Foundation, California, US) continue to research and promote improved stove designs.
