That's pretty cool,also a thermoelectric generator. There's also a smaller, more portable one called "Biolite". They are also used in deep space (out of the range of solar power) with radioisotopes providing the heat.

I found this while searching info re small pellet stoves.

It has what must be a modern version of the heat to electricity machine demonstrated above.

Thanks Charlie but not sure it will be capable of powering anything as the thermocouples deteriorate over time.

Thanks Charlie. Now I've got to get this one going again--made in the USSR in the 1950s.

I missed your post on this one in December Brent.

A great piece of kit for any prepper for sure.   8)
