Not many researchers get to see the product of their labor
helping real people in real life. Joseph Zambito, a
mechanical engineer from
Next month, Zambito, 24, will
travel with a team of engineers to a farming community in
“I’m really excited,” said Zambito. “When you think about helping others, people usually donate money. When you actually go to those you are helping … it feels incredible.”
Zambito was studying for a Masters
degree at
He signed up for the project called Bio Engine Longevity Tests, or BELT, and over the last year has been working to extend the life of the engine that uses oil from jatropa, a locally grown vegetable, instead of the more polluting diesel. In addition to the longevity tests, Zambito has been one of the main designers of a system that makes the viscous jatropa oil thin enough to run the engine.
Called a multifunction platform, or MFP, the engine is being
used in several countries in western
With more free time, adults can do other work to generate income, and children can go to school.
The team - Zambito and three
students from
An MFP is already in place in Soroti but needs to be replaced by one that can run nonstop for a longer period. In Soroti, where residents grow jatropa, the engine will be used expel oil from jatropa seeds, and as a backup power gen-erator in the town school.
It will also help reduce the workload for young girls who walk several miles to get clean drinking water and then walk back with water-filled containers on their heads.
While the team is in Soroti, they will try to bring drinking water into town by using a pump that gets power from the MFP engine.
“Whatever time we can give them so that they don’t have to bring water to their home, means that more children can go to school,” said Zambito.
While there is currently only one MFP in Soroti, Zambito and his team are hoping to bring more to the town. Zambito estimates that 20 engines will be able to light up the whole town.

John: Here’s a new cartoon featuring that roving flower-child-without-portfolio, Jimmy Carter. (When Robert Risko replied to my email, he apparently inadvertently sent it to everyone on that mailing list. Sorry about that. I took your address out of that file, and I’ll email you separately in the future.) I’m sketching some ideas for the “Jasper Jottings” logo, and I’ll send them in the next few days. After that period in February when our business abruptly dried up, things suddenly revived at the beginning of March and it’s been okay since then. I think I’ve managed to raise our visibility on the web enough that things won’t ever get that bad again. Thanks for your help. Sincerely, Jerry Breen
