PowerpotAs any seasoned backpacker will tell you, charging electronics while far from electrical sources is not yet a perfected task.

However, the options are still bulky and heavy – the biggest adversaries for outdoorspeople. Enter the PowerPot, the most comprehensive, lightweight, and inherently efficient notion to date. Using thermoelectric power generation, one simply puts this pot on a flame, adds water, and plugs in a device. The cool water and hot flame create electricity, which is then transferred through a flame resistant cable to your electronic device.
