The BT Young Scientist winner that doesn't want any money for his invention

The winner of the this year's BT Young Scientist contest is a very humble fellow. Richard O'Shea, from Scoil Mhuire Gan Smal in Blarney, County Cork, has no intention of seeking any patent for his winning invention.  Instead, he wants to encourage as many people as he can to just build it and use his self-build biomass stove. To this end, he's going over to Uganda in the summer to get a project going around it.

I caught up with him for a minute to talk about it.
