A key element in the implementation of the above will be to operate across levels. We will be using advanced technology (CAD modelling, virtual analysis of mechanisms, fluid dynamics, etc.) as well as direct prototyping and physical testing. All outputs and outcomes will be published in their original formats, with open-access, while the pertinent elements will be simplified.

We will remove technical jargon/requirments and communicate on a variety of levels from very technical – required for thermal analysis of briquette, for example (as above), through to ‘how to’ manuals/booklets in picturess and simple English/Swahili at other levels.

We will operate under a Creative Commons – Attribution, Non-Commercial, Share-alike policy.
