‘MiniO’ Thermo-Electric Stovetop Phone Charger

This remarkable little device turns heat into electricity. It provides an off-grid USB outlet suitable for charging electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets and power banks, or running LED lights.

Fill with water, place on a hot surface (e.g. woodburner or small stove), and the unit uses thermo-electric technology to generate 5W of power (5V, 1A). The unit generates electricity using the temperature difference between the hot stove top and the cooler water reservoir. The MiniO reservoir is made of flexible heat-resistant silicone, and collapses down when not in use.

The MiniO would suit anyone with an off-grid tent, van or shed with a heat source such a woodburner. Place the MiniO on top of the stove and plug in!

It really is as good as it sounds – and is about as close as you can get to something for nothing: it uses heat produced anyway by a stove and converts it into electricity.

Designed and manufactured in South Korea. See specifications tab for further details.
