Imagine a situation in which you went camping and you have exhausted all the gadgets. Doesn't matter if you can't do a selfie on top of a mountain. Another thing is to stay in the mountains without communication and navigation. Such an adventure can sometimes end tragically.
To avoid similar situations will help the new structure of the Russian startup Tengu Group. The author of the project Aidar Khairullin has created a portable furnace charging device, which charges your gadgets from the fire. As the creators say, you just need to collect branches, melt them in a mini stove, and a generator convert the heat into electricity, sufficient to quickly charge any electronic device.
Tengu is a small foldable stove in which burns everything that can be found in the forest in large quantity. A portable mini oven is equipped with a thermal generator, which is similar to those used by NASA in their technique. It directly converts heat into electricity – without moving parts. Built-in controller charges any devices from the USB connector.
The iPhone is charging for an hour and a half as the usual network of charging at home. The design of the device is quite durable and works in all conditions – the charger is not afraid of rain, wind and freezing temperatures. Stove-battery can be used instead of fire: thanks to its clever design creates good traction, water boils faster and does not require a large quantity of firewood.
The idea is interesting the fact that the development satisfies the interests of a large number of people from different circles. It and the people who choose active recreation and tourism, and fans of tactical games (airsoft, paintball, etc.), as well as all those who simply understands that the future of energy-efficient technologies and alternative energy sources.
The new device does not use Peltier elements that are not only reliable, but also have a very low level of efficiency. The authors used more sophisticated components, which operate on the same principles as thermal generators Curiosity Rover, which indicates the reliability of the technology. The most important thing in design, as the developers noted, it is a summing up of the desired temperature. This they achieved through the development of improved deployemnt.
At the moment the project team is collecting funds on the crowdfunding site Boomstarter for the start of series production. Contains more than 50% of the required amount to the end of the campaign remains little more than 20 days. To support the developers on the project page.
According to the creators of electricity-generating mini-ovens in the future, the Tengu Group is still a lot of development of energy-efficient technologies, as well as other devices that simplify everyday life. published
