Jacob Mwangi, a mechanic based in Nyeri County, has innovated an oil-burning stove crafted from repurposed steel pipes.
Utilizing used engine oil obtained from car engines at his garage, the stove incorporates two miniature fans and a canister sourced from a discarded mini-LPG cylinder for oil storage. Additionally, the stove features two taps at its base for dispensing fuel through connected funnels and utilizes the viscous black liquid to generate power.
Inspired by a Creative Inventions LMTN YouTube video, Mwangi has successfully sold ten commercial stoves, earning a minimum profit of Sh 25,000 for each unit. Functioning similarly to a kerosene stove, this invention integrates two automatic motors powered by electricity to supply oxygen to the burner.
Within a span of less than a year, Mwangi has already sold ten units and is presently refining his 11th stove.
