Energy Tech Student Receives NASA Scholarship
Shauna Muns received a $5,500 scholarship from NASA to build a sensor
and control unit for a rocket stove. Muns said she heard about the
scholarship through an email sent by the program director. “Who doesn’t want a scholarship from NASA?” Muns said. “The more research I did, the more interested I was.” A rocket stove is an efficient and hot-burning portable stove
that uses small wood fuel pellets. Muns is testing the efficiency of
the stove using different fuels, while also measuring emissions. Energy
technology teaching assistant Tim Chester is working closely with Muns
on the project. He said since there has not been a lot of research on
the stoves before, they are excited to get factual information out
there.Muns will present her project at the Montana Space Grant
Consortium Student Research Symposium in April. Muns and Chester are
working on building different versions of the stove to test efficiency
and gather data for pictures and videos. But the project doesn’t end
there.
