I too love those little stoves.
There is a thread about them some place around here. I had not know of the ability to generate electricity with heat differentials. It is great technology. I love the idea. They show pictures of people in New York City using them to charge their cell phones during the power outages caused by super storm Sandy. I feel the price is reasonable, I think in the $125 range. They are developing a larger stove for home use instead of just their small back packing stove. I think the larger one for home use will generate a lot more power. These stoves use a small fan to generate the strong up draft that makes the complete combustion of the small amount of wood used. I really do feel this company has developed a great product that uses Great Technology. I want one, but I do not Back Pack,
and I do not own a cell phone,
so my need for one of these stoves is somewhat limited, I am afraid it would be another Toy that I just would never use.
and I have enough of those already,
Never doubt that a small group of dedicated people can change the world, indeed it is the only thing that ever has.
