Proving that Kickstarter is a viable funding tool is the PowerPot Thermoelectric Generator, the device showed up on the website last year and after finding funding has gone through production and is now hitting the shelves.
The PowerPot Thermoelectric Generator($149.99) is the perfect camping tool and works by converting heat energy into electricity to power your things. The result is the ability to cleanly charge any number of devices, from smartphones, cameras, tablets, GPS, basically anything that has a USB port will work on the PowerPot Thermoelectric Generator.
The pot can be placed over any heat source (we were thinking the camp fire or stove) and simply plug it in to your device. The charging cable is completely fireproof, while the pot is designed to deliver 5W of power in even the harshest of climates.
