2lb woodstove charges cell phones, etc...
« on: January 07, 2012, 07:02:51 AM »
Pretty cool little stove...

http://biolitestove.com/CampStove.html

A 2 pound stove which burns wood, twigs, pinecones.... Excess heat produces enough electricity to run a fan to increase stove efficiency by blowing air into the burn chamber. Extra electricity is available for charging a cell phone or other usb charged device. Less wood burned, less smoke, free electricity.

$129.00 pre order...

What do you think? Pretty damned ingenious if you ask me.

That looks rather nice but I want the white man version. You know - white man build big fire - stand way back. I don't have a motorhome but there must be a way to power one with a bigger fire.  :chuckle:

I wish I was smart enough to make something like that $$$$
I like the woman in Africa with the larger stove and 10 usb cables  :dunno: :chuckle:
Great idea!

Great idea, but I'd hate trying to pack that thing in a backpack. Looks like it would take up a ton of space! And if I'm car camping I'm taking a stove that I can make a decent meal on.

8 1/2" X 5" seems pretty small to me.  Neat idea.  If I'm using this though, I am probably out of cell phone range but if they had gps units that would recharge with a usb, it could be pretty handy.

Actually really cool, I just don't know how often I would use it.  Now if they could make something that did the same thing and also heated your backpacking tent I'd be all in!

Yeah, that was what I was thinking, then I checked it out, same basic size as a large naglene bottle...

I'll be buying one when I can clear the money.  When the end times come and the power grid crashes, at least I'll have the music on my cell phone for entertainment

I probably produce more electricity by farting than that thing can produce, but I'm not going to shove any usb cables up there or anything else for that matter.
