PowerPot: Thermoelectric vessel allows you to cook up some charge

The concept of thermoelectricity has been truly under-utilized when it comes to crafting up energy generating gadgets. Considering how many situations we find ourselves in a day where we observe significant temperature difference between two surfaces, one would think more thermoelectric gadgets would show up. But the problem might still be in converting small temperature differences into significant current. Hopefully researchers are taking care of that, but till then how about tapping into some significant temperature variation that promises substantial charge? That is what PowerPot has to offer with its cooking vessel that will double up as your gadget charger.

The PowerPot

Coming from a young entrepreneurial firm called Power Practical, this cooking vessel can be set up over any fire source and you can use the attached USB slot to hook up your smartphone and get some charge. All the while, you can actually cook something in the water and if you are not much of a chef, then you will do fine with just some boiling water. Designed for those who love the outdoors and go camping fairly regularly, the team of Power Practical also feels that this will be a great donation for someone in a developing or under-developed nation across the globe.

Considering how people in Africa walk several miles each day to get charge from a diesel generator for their mobiles, the PowerPot could be a perfect solution. You can in fact donate $99, which will ensure that Power Practical will send one PowerPot over to Africa on your behalf (Yes, you do get a thank you note with credit, do not fret over it) and if you want to buy one then you can do so for $125. You can charge up your mobile in about a hour or so on PowerPot V that offers 5W output and the larger PowerPot X offers 10W output for your tablets. Another hot innovation that helps you go off grid…
