Oven burns garbage, powers slum

Oven burns garbage, powers slum Fancy an oven that uses garbage as fuel while providing power? This is what's happening in a Kenyan slum, as a specially designed oven features a superheated steel plate within an incinerator box that vaporizes drops of water. Released oxygen from this manner helps burn up discarded oil from vehicles - one of the chief causes of pollution in the slum area, which pushes up the temperature. It is hoped that this cooker will be able consume half a ton of waste energy each day when its trial finishes in approximately a month. Sounds like something every nation could use, and not just slums.
