Amazing invention: Portable phone charger for campers (pictures)

Are you off-the-grid and your iPhone battery is
running low? Don’t panic! All you need is a heat
source, some water and a Powerpot.
The PowerPot is a portable thermoelectric
generator that converts heat directly into DC
electrical power so you can charge your phone
on a stove or fire.
To generate power, simply add some water to

Powerpot and place it on a heat source. The
PowerPot will start powering up your mobile
electronics within 10 seconds of applying heat
to the pot.
The device comes equipped with a standard 5V
USB port, making it compatible with cell
phones, GPS units, iPhones, Androids, iPods
and iPads. A solid-state voltage regulator
provides up to 5W of charging power, which
can also be used directly to run speakers,
lights, fans, or other low-power appliances.
The coolest feature of the PowerPot is that it is
an actual boiling pot. It constantly heats water
to generate electricity. You can reuse this hot
water to cook dishes or prepare hot drinks.
This could be a great gift for a backpacker or
camper who likes cooking, drinking and
‘texting’ from their campsites.
