A thermoelectric charger promises to charge an iPhone using only heat

  hammacher schlemmer is a company that recently announced the launch of a new interesting product on the market, which is mainly dedicated to those who spend a lot of time away from civilization. In the image above you have presented the device and we are basically talking about a pot that has a capacity of 1.4 liters and allows us to heat water while charging a smartphone. The pot has a special portion inside it that transforms heat into electricity, and the battery of a mobile phone can be charged in four hours, if you have enough water to boil. Although the idea itself is very good for those who do not always have an outlet near them, the problem is that you need a lot of water to fully charge a mobile terminal.

Using the laws of thermoelectricity, this unassuming pot becomes a generator, converting heat into electricity anywhere an AC outlet isn't available. Simply fill the 1.4-liter pot with water and heat it on any wood fire, camp stove, or the included propane-powered heating element. As heat passes from the flame to the pot's cool interior, a special plate harnesses the energy, generating a current that recharges handheld USB devices like phones, cameras, headlamps, and GPS units.

  The product from Hammacher Schlemmer can be purchased at the price of $200 in the frame this website and despite its usefulness in certain conditions, I don't think there will be that many people interested in purchasing it.
