Charging phones with fire is a popular joke in this part of the world. My brother says it all the time, he says "help me shook my phone for fire" which means "help me put my phone in the fire" whenever he wants me to charge his phone for him. I just hope he doesn't say it to the wrong person one day... Lol.

With technology and innovation, this 'joke' has become possible. You can now charge your phones with burning fire using FlameStower charger.

This portable, affordable charger captures excess heat from cooking stoves or campfires to charge your USB-powered devices: cell phones, tablets, GPS, and more.
Its elegant design allows for an easy setup, charging, and storing, making FlameStower your affordable go-to charger.

It is designed to work with any open flame: cooking stoves, campfires, candles, anything! Once the blade is in the fire, the thermal energy from the fire is transferred to the Thermoelectric Generator (TEG) of the FlameStower.

The opposite surface of the TEG is in contact with the water reservoir then Hot side gets hot, cold side stays relatively cool then the temperature difference generates electricity.

This would be perfect when you go on your next visit to the village where there isn't much electricity, you could just pretend to be helping grand ma when she's cooking while you charge with the burning firewood.

You can get the Flamestower on amazon for just $99
