Need to charge my phone! Let me fire up my super stove because it's the middle of summer and a nice warm fire would be really good especially that the sun is not shining and the wind is not blowing.... Perfect 👍
This was such a moving piece. Thank you for telling the story of such a talented, special woman.
So we discovered a thermal electric plate…? This is just stupid.
“Invented a new process” I am pretty sure thermocouples and similar devices have been around for a long time. There are also similar products already available on the market whereas this is still vaporware .
For all those who also were quite frustrated by the evasive kind of answers to the three important features of the stove: I found the info finally on the website of the kickstarterproject. So: 1) thermal power is around 5 kW (which seems reasonable). 2) electrical power is roughly predicted in the range of 50W to 100W. 3) kickstarter price was 1950 GBP, current early bird price seems to be 2450 GBP, and the future fantasy retail price is imagined to be 3450 GBP.
How many watts per hour?
Stock pictures, no information. Seems to bei AI generated.
Bobby my god i loved that man the most dignified man in football. Memories of the summer of 1990. Played over 300 games for my club.
This is so great
We tried to have wood burning stove. Sadly the regulations now covering soot & fumes have been made so strict that we need a unit attached to the back of the burner, which is larger than the burner has to be fitted. This won't work in our home without MAJOR & expensive alterations to rooms & building here in UK. V good idea he has provided your gov. Allows innovations like this.
The stove can be made by any family man...but the ThermoElectric Generator can not. It should be the focus of the company - to create and manufacture ThermoElectric Generators and sell the tech design to every family at very reasonable and affordable price - If the goal is to solve the looming energy crisis due to political instability around the world. TEG companies are ripping people from around the world by their NON DEPENDABLE products. I wish your company could switch from making super stove to making and manufacturing TEGs for the COMMON people.
Is it possible to commercialize this? I have a requirement for numerous units to generate power to drive a fan to improve combustion..
Exactly how much power does it generate?
Intrinsically ultra-low efficiency. Why would you need a phone when civilization will have collapsed. Self-contradictory invention.
I loved The Glass Virgin and The Dwelling place. Couldn’t wait each week for the next episode.
this video seems so scammy
Scam is written all over this video. I would be highly suspicious of this device.
Sorry but you could not be more wrong.
peltier effect?
ZERO chance this will ever be brought to market... Bid business, corrupt politicians (elite puppets) will never allow this to happen.. Sorry but TRUE!!
Almost three quarters of a million people have viewed our film in the last four weeks.
We pre launch on Kickstarter on Tuesday 12th March and go live on Tuesday the 19th, the first stoves will be a little over half price.
Now launched on Kickstarter. We got our goal in less than 24 hours.
i will wait till the tooth fairy brings me one. a professional bait...wait till you hear the switch.
Hey dale you should have subscribed then you would know differently.
No need for a derogatory comment until you know differently.
Any Peltier device I've looked into was prohibitively expensive and vastly underpowered. No output, no price, no sale.
Hi Ed, the film was made to draw attention to electricity poverty and global pollution, not to sell stoves. Many different types of peltier (TEG) plates. Kind regards Howard.
Also it would be interesting to know which ones you have looked in to and how long you took looking in to them. I spent more than 10 years and traveled the world looking in to them. TEG technology has changed even in the last few months. Have a good weekend Ed. Kind regards Howard.
I love this especially if combined with solar. My home community endures heavy snow and the highest temperatures in summer. Please keep me posted. Will it run the fridge consistently and can the power be stored? I absolutely want want this! Keep going!
Hi Sandy, thank you so much for your kind words of encouragement, it really does mean a lot to me. I understand your weather after living in Latvia for some time. Freezing winters and hot summers. I never tried to run a fridge with this stove. I did design a stove to run a medical centre, including fridges, in Africa some time ago. We did build one but it weighed just under one ton. 😅 Please subscribe and I’ll email over all information. Also please keep in touch. My best regards, Howard.
Whos to say the satellite for this won't be taken out with the grid? What's the price?
Hi JD, thank you for your comment. Please subscribe and I’ll email back with all info. Have a great day, best regards, Howard.
Excellent idea, I live in the Highlands, and a system like this would change my life!
Thanks for your comment Toby, kind regards Howard.
I lived off grid in Africa and know exactly what you mean. Have a great day.
Hi Toby, I’d love to know more about your highland surroundings, you have me intrigued. Are you living off grid. ? I’ve lived off grid and it would be great to share our experiences.
@howardpym3385 Good morning Howard, nice to get a reply. I live in the glencoe area, currently in a tent/tipi with a titanium stove. It's still ridiculously cold, though. I do have a place to stay in a house, but I prefer to be outside in the woods, I don't think my dog feels the same 😆 I'm going to be building a dome, trillium domes design for better heat retention. I was looking at the iron heart stove, and then I saw your product. I wish you success!
I actually emailed you asking if the stove uses gasification?
How mich is the wood ?
I guess it would depend where in the world you live. I call my youngest granddaughter Tinker. 🩷 Kind regards Howard.
This looks like trying to sell snake oil.
😂 I look forward to proving you wrong. Have a nice day, regards Howard.
Too much talking and hyping up a product that is almost not shown in the video. It looks like story telling to me.
It is story telling, the film was made to raise awareness to electricity poverty and global pollution. 2.5 billion people live without electricity and 3.5 billion people cook and heat on open fires every day, that’s trillions of open fires every year, no wonder our planet is self destructing, if everyone stopped trying to find a way to turn things around our future generations will pay the price 😢
The video is Give Me Money, so I can make this work. Not enough educational info. Uninspiring. ambiguous teaser. no thanks.you lost us.
The film has received over 200.000 views in the last couple of weeks on KZread and 41.000 views in 16 hours on TikTok with hundreds of emails of support.
The film was made 4 months ago to raise awareness to electricity poverty and pollution not to sell stoves. 2.5 million people live without electricity and 3.5 billion people cook and heat on open fires every day, that’s trillions of open fires every year. If you put your name and email address on our website landing page I will email back with all information including company details, how it’s made, what power it produces and how much it costs. Please have a little faith Pat. Kind regards Howard.
Wow what a brilliant idea.. love it. Have signed up on your website... Will be following your journey..
Hi Nicholas, thank you for your message, I will email all info over shortly. Have a great weekend Nicholas. Best regards Howard.
So, fully automatic? Not sure it loads the fuel it self, so not really fully automatic. The electric generation may be "fully automatic", but say that, not that the stove is fully automatic. And, that's hardly revolutionary. You said it's thermoelectric. OK, so how many watts does it generate? What's special about your thermoelectric generation? And, what's the use of the "pump"? Your volt meter showed very low voltage, around 12V...which is certainly sufficient to charge a cell phone, but hardly enough to run a house. All shown was a wood burning stove. Nothing at all hooked up to it. An array of lights, sure they lit up, but had no connection to the stove, so who knows where the electricity for those came from. All incredibly vague and not, IMO, very revolutionary. And no, I'm not going to give you my info until you give me more info. Website has nothing either. If you do have something "revolutionary", I'd highly recommend providing more details up front.
Well, what silly comments. An automatic washing machine does not come with a message to say you need to put the clothes in, an automatic car does not say you actually have to drive it, so what makes you think we need to say our stove needs someone to put wood in. 😂🤣😂🤣we can both be silly. Next, the stove in the film with light board. The lights are all plugged in to the back of the stove in the film, but I am NOT going to turn it round to demonstrate while it’s running. 😂 you also have fantastic eyesight to be able to see the meter showing 12 volts, another silly comment😂 Lastly please don’t subscribe because we only want info from any one interested in the stove. After saying all that, I still wish you a great weekend, kind regards Howard. PS it’s good to have a laugh.
@@howardpym3385 What's silly about it? It pointed out how vague and unsubstantiated the claims in the video are. Again, what's automatic about it? At least with a washing machine you know what's automatic up front. And an automatic car clearly claims "transmission type - automatic". Well, so you claim about the lights. No where can wires be seen between the stove and the light panel, the "view" is pretty clear. Being a for real EE, I am skeptical. WRT 12V on the meter, Perhaps you ought to watch the video! Talk about silly. The meter actually DOES show 12V! At 5:22. Unless "V" on the meter is not Volts but instead "Vaguery", which actually makes sense, as this is a 12 on a scale of 1-10 on vagueness. And, I DO have fantastic eyesight, thank you for noticing. 20/10 in fact. So good, that what's shown is likely NOT an actual meter, but a power supply, as it says "OUTPUT", and the right meter says "A". Those look like the meters on a lab supply, and I have similar ones in my lab (yes, I have a lab). And, the right meter shows about .5A, so @ 12V, 6W. Pretty low output if that's measuring your purported power output, but it is enough to charge a cell phone, so that claim I believe. Is that supply what's powering the lights? One light perhaps, but not the whole panel. You'd have to turn your power supply up a bit more for that. I would love to be wrong about this purported "revolutionary" technology, but until proven otherwise, what I see warrants skepticism.
Austin, I guess I was a little upset with your original message for which I apologise. The meter in the film had nothing to do with power out of the stove, I was testing something else while the film was being made. The film was made 4 months ago to draw attention to electricity poverty and pollution not to sell stoves.
Just to finish, the stove has passed all certification to be able to be sold in more than 38 country’s to include the US, Canada, Europe and the Uk. It took 10 years to get to this point and has been viewed by many scientists over the years. Again kind regards Howard.
@@howardpym3385 Add one more scientist to the list of "viewed" ;-) Glad to hear, and all excellent, but as I first mentioned, it would be great if you would provided some specifics. If you are using some other technology besides TEG/TEC, that would be great to know more about. If not, not an issue, TEC/TEG is certainly viable enough. How many watts is the big question? With current TEG/TEC technology, you can get about say 200 watts out of something the size of the back of the shown stove (assuming the "electronics" are built-in), which is useful. If you could get 500W or even 1000W, that would be far more useful, which you may be able to with a purpose-built stove. Not enough to power a "regular" house, but enough to certainly be useful in many situations. We have to start somewhere. A purpose-built cordwood (or pellet) stove should get a lot more electricity out than a retro-fit stove, and may be able to reach the 1000W or far more. One issue I run up against with this as a "general" solution like this is what if you aren't in the heating season? If that's the case, then one would need some alternate source of electricity in the non-heating season. I would think that a heating solutions that is self contained (as in, can power the fans/pumps and all ancillary things required for heating) is great, and a different solution may be needed in parallel (likely solar or geothermal at this point in time) along with a self contained heating solution that would obviously be used in the heating seasons only. Cooling I look at as luxury (and a different problem), heating is a necessity. The self contained heating system would not require much, if any, electrical storage, which IMO is a very positive thing. Just good regulation and control, which is what I assume you meant by "automatic" (low voltage/current drop out, maintains tight output voltage range). All just my opinions, of course. So, in no way am I poo-pooing your ideas, on the contrary, I am trying to flesh them out. There is a lot of puffery on the Internet, which I am sure you are aware of, and it's sometimes not so easy to weed out the chaff. I do appreciate your responsiveness and willingness to engage. That in and of it self say says a lot. It is a good video, just wish it had more. BTW, you did say "fully" automatic ;-) Best of luck, I look forward to seeing and hearing more about it. Dr. B.
No real information in this video, and no updates in four months, so most likely it is total BS, just another internet scammer.
@@howardpym3385 I can't find any information about how much electricity your stove produces, nor the cost of your stove, SO AGAIN I'm calling Bull Shit on your "project."
@@erikcreature3412 the super stove on Kickstarter. Launched on the 19th looking for 50k. Got it in less than 24 hours.
@@howardpym3385 So how much electricity can your stove produce, and how much does the stove cost? Not difficult questions. Do you have a reading comprehension problem?
Yea, I suspected that this would be another fake video with no real information that the title claims. Thankfully I realized this rather quickly, I just waisted 2 min and 37 seconds until I watched the other comments. I wonder what those who clicked the "thumb up" was expecting, or is it just a collab with bots?
Information will be emailed Teddy. All you have to do is subscribe.
PS. The thumbs up are real. All from people interested in what has taken 10 years to develop.
Pretty rad
Hi Don, I’m from the UK, not sure what pretty rad means, but guess you are just following the last comments. Shame. Kind regards Howard.
Is there an expected release date for this stove. And what is the electrical output of the stove?
2:50
Could be good, idk. Need more about what it is and how it works and output, less about natural disasters & listing things-you-can-use-electricity-for. We're all pretty familiar with using electricity inside a home at this point.
No one doubts there is pollution. However the 'global warming' BS got changed to 'climate change' as scientists realized we are heading for an ice age.
Hi John 🥶I hope not. Yet on the other hand humanity will survive and our wonderful planet will heal itself. I guess we would still have millions of years left, especially if we, like Walt Disney, are frozen so we could be brought back to life in the future. My edit was to wish you a good day, kind regards Howard.
If you are going to do a video about a wood (any fuel) burning stove that produces electricity I think most people who would be interested might like to know how much (voltages, wattage etc,etc/per hour/time period) basic bare facts including size, weight dimensions! These are the things that are important, we don't need a f**king lecture about bloody spacecraft, global warming, etc. Get on with the details could have been done in four to five minutes. Anyway wishing you all the best and good luck.
Hi Alexander, the film was made to cast light onto global warming and electricity poverty, for which I have experience. From hurricanes to off grid living, not fun unless you are kitted up for both. We launched a website landing page so that anyone interested can subscribe and get return emails with all information including how the stove is made, together with in-depth information on price, power production etc. thanks for your comment Alexander. Kind regards Howard.
Hi Again Alexander, thank you for your good wishes, it means a lot to us. Regards Howard
Thank you Howard, where is this page so I can find out more information.
@@alexanderlloyd9487 apologies Alexander it’s . Com.
Soon as he mentioned energy crisis i switched off!. There is no energy crisis or climate crisis. The only crisis are the ones they create and try to make you believe.... Fact!
Hi Kyle, thank you for your comment. Not sure what planet you live on so unless you know more than our global experts, climate scientists or governments I think you may be wrong. Everyone is entitled their own opinions though and yours is one of many. My best regards though, let’s hope you are right, but for me, I believe the experts. Have a great day, best regards Howard.
The power output in watts of electricity will be very low. Yes phone charging and led lights, not much more.
Hi Carl, you are wrong, it does charge a phone, iPad, LED lights etc but it also runs its own circulation pump, it produces heated water which it pumps through its own small domestic radiator heating system and is able to heat more than one room. Thank you for your comment. Have a great weekend. Kind regards Howard.
@@howardpym3385 do you have the peak power output in watts please?
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.
Hi Stephen. I agree wood fuel is getting more expensive for some of us, but it depends on where in the world you live I guess. It can be quite uplifting and rewarding foraging for fuel. Not to mention good exercising and being at one with the outdoors. I guess we are very much alike. Best regards Howard.
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
@@stephenhebard3004 Hi Steven, let me also explain. I owned a wood fuel business for more than 15 years, operated my own kilns and exported to Europe and the UK in 40 foot containers. 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.
Not a new concept by any means, and as cheap as solar has gotten it will be hard to compete.
Hi, you’re right not a new concept but the way we use it is. Solar is cheap but if you live in a forest or have lots of snow, live the wrong side of a mountain, have bad weather without sunshine for the majority of the year, even if you live in dusty condition or with short or limited daylight hours, solar is not as good as you think, even if it is cheap. Our Stove was aimed at a global audience not at persons living in the Caribbean. 🤭kind regards Howard.
well done
all spin and no specifics, this will be very weak
Hi Phil, I appreciate your enthusiasm and inspirational comment. Regards Howard.
You had me until you popped off about global warming you nut. Climate does change. Minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day, year by year.
😂thank you for your comment. Not at this rate. Global warming may not impact you and me but it will impact on future generations according to experts which I am not. I pray for the future population🙏 kind regards Howard.
ive been trying to figure out how to do this.
Keep trying Shelly, it’s great fun, exciting and you never know, you may stumble upon something no one else thought of, like I did. Have a great weekend Shelly.
The reason for my edit, I spelt your name with ey at the end. 😅
Ever try used oil or vegetable oil? Would love one in my off grid home
Hi Joe, no, I never used oil but have been looking at atomised oil burners for hot climates after spending some time in countries like Saudi Arabia, where some fuels are not available. Thank you for your comment. Kind regards Howard.
Thermocouple. Got it
Nothing like fear mongering. I live in Canada and lots of folks heat with wood. Firewood is expensive even though we have more trees tahn you can shake a stick at...and it is a major polluter with most stoves burning inefficiently. The most efficient stoves still dump a crap ton of pollutants into the atmosphere. Also, the electricity produced by this super stove is minimal at best and will not run your fridge or washing machine etc...a few LED lights at best. He's just an old man with an old idea to try and combat the big energy tycoons. Stick to natural gas.
Hi Ian, old Howard hear 🦻😂🕺, did you ever think that older people have a lot more experience than younger persons like yourself. I am also passionate about pollution and it’s awful Ramifications on our atmosphere. You are also right about old stoves being inefficient. New technology is entirely different and our stove has the most advance burning technology. The stove was designed more for off grid use, not to run a house. Thermal energy technology is also advancing at an incredible rate. You suggest sticking to natural gas, WOW. Pollution from gas is very high. Also the cost of supply is getting more and more year on year. Last response, I am also not sure what you mean by combating big tycoons. Love your country by the way. Regards, old Howard 🥱
@@howardpym3385 I am 82...I guess I qualify as a younger old person. I remember when steam was still a thing with lots of BTU in and very little mechanical out. Times change as does the experience of the old. It is easy to see thatnlate technologies surpass those of the old in terms of efficiencies...especially when it comes to thermodynamics and also that of simple heating systems. I worked for a large food manufacturer as an industrial engineer with licenses for both gaseous and liquid fuels. Wood burning technology has profound limitations as compared to, as mentioned in my previous post, natural gas. I am also very familiar with thermopiles and Peltier systems which are ok for small load demands such as LED lights and other small devices. The tycoons are the fossil fuel magnates. Regards, Young yet somehow old, Ian.
@@howardpym3385 I'm 82. The tycoons are the fossil fuel magnates.
Hi Ian, I guess we are both age experienced. My past includes ownership of an LED lighting and electronics company, an engineering company and have manufactured and supplied generator trip panels to a major power company in the UK involved with connecting solar to the grid. The panels were also used in off grid locations including factories and large farms. In the past my company made control systems for British Aerospace and the Nuclear Fuels industry. Some of my past co workers were very talented. I personally have worked with thermal electrics for more than 12 years and as you know still do. When you mentioned natural gas, it came as a little surprise, natural gas being very polluting. I will watch out for fossil fuel magnates as I hope that one day fossil fuels will be a thing of the past. From one more experience person to another, I hope you have great day and please accept my very best regards, Howard.
