Electronics

Charging a USB powered device is possible by using thermoelectric plates. Basicly it is a plate that produces electric currents when one side of the plate is hotter then the other cooler side of the plate. This is how BioLite Camp Stove is able to produce electricity. At the same time you are charging your USB smartphone or tablet you can be cooking your dinner on the camp stove at the same time. Saving space by not carrying separate charging sources and combining your camp stove with it is a great way to save space as it is increasing efficiency. BioLite Wood Burning Camp stove

The BioLite Wood Burning CampStove combines the benefits of a lightweight backpacking stove and an off-grid power charger so you can cook a meal while charging your gadgets. The Campstove is the perfect solution for both the backcountry campsite and also Emergency Preparedness Kits.

No Fuel to Buy or Carry: Our stoves cook your meals with nothing but the twigs you collect on your journey or in your backyard, eliminating the need for heavy, expensive, polluting petroleum gas. Quick to light, fast to boil and easy to use.
Charge your Gadgets: By converting heat from the fire into usable electricity, our stoves will recharge your phones, lights and other gadgets while you cook dinner. Unlike solar, BioLite CampStove is a true on-demand source.
Stay Green: By using renewable resources for fuel instead of petroleum, you’re reducing your carbon footprint. You’ll also keep fuel canisters out of the landfill.
Be Prepared: The CampStove isn’t just for camping; it’s great to have when the power goes out in a storm or other natural disaster. You’ll be able to cook and keep electronics charged while power lines are down. No need to worry about your local store being sold out of propane, the CampStove is designed to run on any biomass.
Support a Better World: We’re using the same technology inside the CampStove to bring clean, safe energy to families across the developing world.
Have Fun: Like a campfire, you can sit around the CampStove and watch the flames dance as you roast marshmallows and tell stories with friends.
How it Works: Using BioLite’s patented thermoelectric technology, the BioLite CampStove converts heat to electricity that powers a fan to make the fire ultra-efficient. Extra electricity can be used to charge small electronics like mobile phones and LED lights.

Etón American Red Cross CLIPRAY USB Cell Phone Charger with Hand Crank LED Flashlight – Red (ARCCR100R_SNG)

Living in todays world we tend for take for granted the easiness of plugging our electronics into a wall outlet. From charging at work, in our cars, and even in planes now. But what happens when the the power goes out. Think of the hurricanes, disasters and even a Sunday drive and a flat tire that might even keep you out over night. What happens when the cars battery runs out?

Personally I have lived through a hurricane aftermath that left us without power for weeks. This was before everyone had cellphones and back shortly after Commodore 64 computers were out. But living in a home that should have lights and didn’t was quite strange. Taking a shower in the dark by candle light and trying to figure out what food you could eat later while you eat the more perishable food now. As a neighborhood we had huge BBQ’s together, not to celebrate the disaster. But to eat the meat before it spoiled. So we all cranked up our grills and ate it up!

Now a days with a cellphone in every pocket it has become easier to forget life with out electronics. Almost everything we have now needs charged.

Always have a backup plan!

This RedCross Dyno Cellphone charger has a hand crank that will charge an internal battery that can then charge your electronic device and cellphone!
