I saw a pot that you boiled water in to charge your cell phone. The guy was on shark tank. None of the sharks took a bite however.

Looks like this works the same way...

Interesting concept! I think the only way that we would own one is if they had an adapter to get
cable television when you are out camping.  8) That would be the ONLY way to get my wife to go
camping since her 2 favorite toys are her cell phone and her cable television!  ;) ??? ;D

Thats 5 watts? I saw the one on the market and for it to reach specs you needed one heck of a flame.But who knows,maybe there is a use for it,I'd rather a flexible solar panel for that small output.
