He described the device without naming it: two plates of dissimilar metals, hot on one side, cold on the other, produce the electricity. This is called a Peltier device, and it directly converts heat to electricity. Unfortunately they typically produce very few watts, and are usually used in the inverse fashion: adding electricity chills one plate and hearts the other. The more heat you can remove from the hot side, the colder the cold side gets. For this stove, having the hot plate inside the fire box is a huge advantage. Water cooling the cold side is also pretty smart, considering you can use the heated water for additional room heat. All that said, I expect this to put out maybe 200 watts. If be shocked if it got up to 500 watts, and there's just no way you're getting the 1500 out so watts you'd need to run the average house. Still, 200 watts would be excellent supplemental power for running a few LEDs and charging some small devices.

This is nothing new. 80 years ago they made thermocouple rings that you would put over the neck of an oil lamp to run your radio. Gas furnaces that switched the gas on and off using only the heat from the pilot light. Modern gas cookers that use this principle to turn off the gas in case the burner goes out, wood stove fans. Works OK, just not a lot of power. You can buy a solid state cooler that works on the reverse of this principle.

I think that's a limiting mindset. No electricity means you loose 100% of the waste heat (out the chimney). Even if you only capture 5%-10% of the waste heat that's infinitely better than 0. Efficiency is not always the goal. Some times you just need better. Also in the example shown, they where not being used to run industry. Just to power simple devices that consume very little any ways. Led lights you smart phone and maybe charge a battery backup. Lastly, your typical fire stove puts out 6000 btu or more. That's about 2000 watts! even if you get a low % recovery say 10% that's 200 watts an hour for free! That can power a laptop, charge a phone, and have power left for a few LED lights, and to charge a battery bank. It's hard to say no to that for camping, the house or cabin. To bad they never said how much it cost.....

@@baneverything5580 the website is unfortunately dead, so something was wrong about it. I used peltier element with a LTC3105 from linear technologies, I worked 4 hours, just to solder some wires to small connections^^, but it was capable to generate enough heat to power a blue LED, when the peltier element was exposed to a mobile gas flame. So it works quite well with the right energy converter. In series it would add the voltage, in parallel, it should increase the current and, as seen from a schematic view point of resistance, it should reduce the resistance of the Elements itself, so with more current and the right converter, you could even get enough energy from low voltage. On top you can get enough current then, to charge a battery.

unless something extraordinary happened in the world of physics that I missed, the performance will not be great, I expect something in the order of tens or at most lower hundreds of watts. For lighting nowadays, LEDs are probably sufficient, but heating water with them is really nonsense.

Hi MSMS,our stove will also charge a phone or IPad, or even both at the same time while also running its own circulation pump, it produces hot water that can be directed through domestic radiators while at the same time keeping your lights on. Best regards Howard.

Hi, yes we are in the UK, the tests were done at a professional test house and passed with flying colours. The stove has passed the most up to date European clean air strategy and can be used almost everywhere in the world. Not sure about North Korea though 😅. Have a great day and kind regards Howard.

I'm interested, thanks.

Increase the temperature differential of TEG with the current it produces, by releasing a heating source or even to supply a hot water tank. It's a very good idea, very well thought out: heating more than just one room in the house autonomously, and getting some extra charge or light. The low efficiency of thermometric recovery is not a problem at all for your application, it's just a question of fine tuning. But the TEG module is the wearing part that can break down if the heat rises too high. How do you optimise this parameter?

I can imagine a system like this that consists of a base unit, perhaps 2-3 different sizes, and then some modules to customize its function for end user. These modules could include powered ventilation (combustion chamber, or an air handler for the living space), alternatives on the energy side such as inverter and battery combos, start automation, pellet auto fill, damper control, convection loop cooling instead of pumped, hydronic heat exchanger & circ pump for hot water generation, cook surface accessories, just to name a few immediate thoughts off the top of my head... What sort of power yield could one expected from this? I wouldn't expect much, but I am not familiar with peltier thermo-generation. Of course, even a little electricity is much better than nothing. I'm a fan of rocket stoves. How do you get this one to burn cleanly, assuming it allows for modulating the rate of burn?

Hey Howard, Where I live firewood is not cheap. $400 a cord for soft wood and $580 a cord for hardwood. If you cut it yourself like I do, consider the time and effort it takes to gather the wood,most people don't want to go to the trouble of gathering wood. Great idea but firewood aint cheap.

Howard let me explain about gathering firewood. 1st you need a chainsaw, you need to know how to opporate and maintain a chainsaw. 2nd, you need a vehicle to haul the wood, generally a pickup truck is your best bet. Then you haul your wood back home and have to split and stack. Splitting wood by hand which is what I like to do is strenuious or you rent or own a gas powered hydraulic spliter which is expensive and hard on your back to opporate. In my lifetime I have cut well over 100 cords of wood for my personal use. I think I know what I'm talking about. Thanks for the reply. Stephen

My logs were sold in large DIY supermarkets and I supplied many retailers. In my busiest time I exported up to 4 40ft containers per week of split logs weighing in above 20 tons each, I did not cut trees down to do this, we used branches only. So I guess I also know a lot about the wood fuel business. I have not mentioned yet but my company also produced 2 x 40 ft containers of kindling every week for years. Have a good day, Howard.

Hi Stephen. I would like to add to my response. Now retired from the fuel business. My company was FSC certified. ( certificate issued by the Forest Stewardship Council). This certificate confirms that the wood has come from a responsible source, that every tree cut down has been replaced, dead trees are left standing to help feed woodpeckers and the most healthy trees are left standing to help feed the small wild life below that depend on it, while keeping the identity of the forest during re growth. Most of the FSC certified trees cut down are for construction timber but the branches are usually used for firewood or to make wooden toys, chopping boards etc. Have a great weekend Steven. Kind regards Howard.

This seems to be a version of a large peltier device... Not a great energy exchange,... But not "fake"... A cleaner enviromental , stronger energy product, would be a de-gasifier stove and a " normal" combustion generator.... Much more labor intensive, and complex system....

As temperatures regularly fall below 30°F, even during clear summer nights. And this would be a enormous benefit to our family. I have a biolite mini stove that does similar things. But the water coils could be used to heat driveways and floors and showers. The possibilities are endless. But funds are not. So I ask for a donation of sorts.

A normal wood burner gives radiant heat in the room its installed in and everything else is wasted. Our stove will heat more than one room, and keep the lights on.

It passed all the up to date certification including the clean air strategy produced by the EU. Thermo electric generators were first invented in the 1850’s and did only make a tiny amount of power but that is then not now. Technology is moving at an enormous speed.

However, those of us with experience in the kickstarter realm have been grifted MANY times over by projects that have very similar videos stating lofty goals with no hard specifications. I want to believe you. When you only show loads that are a few dozen LEDs or a couple flood LEDs, it's hard to believe this is anything more than a light source or cell phone charger. Which, if that is the case, is worth stating and supports a good portion of folks who need any electric source they can. I look forward to seeing the specs once they are ready to be released.

The stove was originally designed for off grid living in SIerra Leone where I founded a school in a place called Koidu Town in the region of Kono where the blood diamond war started. We decided to launch on kickstarter as a way of not just funding the manufacture of the generator but also bringing awareness to electricity poverty. Producing the generators is not a problem and we have not set our goal high. The stove will be made by one of the finest stove manufacturers in the world, the company is held in very high esteem and rewound for its integrity. You are quite right, the stove electricity production will run a series of LED lights and charge phones, iPad’s, re chargeable lights and torches, but at the same time it will also produce hot water and also runs a circulating pump. It has never been advertised as a stove that will power a house. Everyone that has lived off grid will understand how to use the stove, one does not run every light in the house but learns how to conserve electricity. The Super Stove will run lights, charge phones and run hot water through radiators in other parts of a house cabin etc, you can cook on it, all with wasted heat from a wood burner. Global warming is upon us and I only hope that projects like ours will help in the smallest of ways. Three power sauces from wasted heat can only be a good thing.

I believe TEGMART has stand-alone thermoelectric generators for sitting on/near a wood stove surface. Kind of expensive though. I think ..... maybe about US $700 for a 100 watt version. Max. temp. is something like 800 deg. F. (Has water cooling) I believe the surface of a wood stove can get to about 400 deg.F.

Hi Poppy, no it’s not time to cut down trees,😢. If you are from Germany you will know that fire wood comes from branch pruning not tree felling. I know quite a lot about timber production. In the Baltic States for instance, when trees are felled it is usual for construction, but for every tree you fell you have to plant another. Restrictions are very tight in Europe. If you clear cut a part of a forest it needs Government approval. Even then it must be done with nature in mind. dead trees are left standing for woodpeckers, the most healthy trees are left so seeds can fall to feed small animals and encourage future forest to keep their identity. FSC (Forest Stewardship certificates ) are also required in most countries. Your comment was really good because it gave me a chance to explain a little. Thank you for that. Kind regards Howard.
