While browsing for a cool stuff on Kickstarter, we came across this S80 contraption called FlameStower that allows users charge their USB-touting devices using nothing but fire.
In search of a portable charger that you can use during your outdoor trips (or in emergency situations like power outage), inventors Andrew Byrnes and Adam Kell came up with FlameStower which converts heat from the fire to electricity.
Setting up the FlameStower is rather simple; just place the metal plate close to a heat source, fill the retractable cup with water and you should be charging in no time.
Here’s a video of short demo of the FlameStower:
In order for the FlameStower to enter mass production, Andrew and Adam have taken their creation to Kickstarter and Indiegogo to get some funding. But not even two weeks in to their month-long campaign, the “early bird units” have already sold out and, as we speak, the duo has already garnered USD31,000 on Kickstarter, more than twice of what they’ve initially signed up for.
To find out more about this awesome portable charger or if you want to back the project up, you can head on over to the source link below which will direct you to the FlameStower’s Kickstarter page.
