I missed your post on this one in December Brent.

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

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

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

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.

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.
