Russell Collins first heard about the rocket stove when he met Sonam Wangchuk, an engineer widely known for bringing education reform in Ladakh. The concept of rocket stove pushed Russell to do some digging in his spare time. Russell Collins making the prototype of the stove. (Pics Credit: Ashley Crowther)
The interest later became an obsession and Russell ended up building a prototype of rocket stove in Manali two years ago. Although it did not work, he did not back down on the dream of building a working design while in Australia and tasted success in early 2016, when he built a working prototype, naming it Himalayan Rocket Stove.
