The Candela Amplifier - YouTube Something I saw on another Site..... Very cute Idea.... and I bet it would work off a Wood Burnin, Stove Top... Similar to the EcoFan.... ...... YMMV.... I have a call into the distributer to see what the product costs.... Looks like somewhere between $80US and $100US at the moment....
What an excellent product! Rather than producing light, producing a charging current may be a worthwhile usage to keep those essential items like BOBs fully charged and ready to go on demand! Candle Powered Cell Phone Charger - Thermoelectric Generator (TEG) - YouTube
Cute Oil burner + LED light for a MSRP of only $149.95. Thanks for the link. Fun tech, but a very rich man's toy. Paraffin lantern with built in thermo-electric generator and fm radio. Ideal for a camping trip or outdoor event. Thermoelectric Generator Lantern British, 10 pounds. ************** Russian TGK-3 powering a radio. No - I haven't found any for sale. This exists as a few grainy photos - given that is is Russian, likely never, I have my doubts of anythng other than a mock up for a propaganda pics. Photos very much like this show it "in use" in remote 1960 China,& N. Korea - again, one has to wonder... ******** AA Kelk radio set. Designed for Japanese market it was sold as an earthquake radio. Still trying to find one for sale, these were mass produced, but worked...barely. ********** For a short periods of time, an American company offered a Dietz lantern with e TEG powering a small radio set was offered, and seems to have disappeared. Guess I'll just have to store a few more batteries....
2Cool Thermocoupling power to an LED. We run 4 EcoFan's & replace motors every 2 years or so. I bought a bunch of Chinese replacements to keep them going. Sloth
We keep candle mounts with three mirrors behind them. Produces a surprising amount of light. Do like the chickens and go to bed early to save resources. Cuts down on someone seeing where you are. A lighted window is an invitation for trouble.
Yep, believe you're right. I have a couple from past builds that I think I'll give a shot .Wouldn't make any difference whether passive or active. Remove the fan from an active one probably work but maybe not quiet as well.Gotta see.
