So, a few days ago, i was frantically going through my email to check if the job i had applied for had replied. with my disappointment i stumbled on an email from kick starter highlighting a number of their favorite projects. "Biolite Camp Stove" a stove that can charge your phones and other electronic gadgets. i was immediately interested coming from a region where electric energy supply to certain areas is non existent or if it is, not affordable to all.i visited the company's website and i came across something for that i thought would be very useful to people from developing countries and that was exactly what it was; The BioLite Home Stove!
BioLite has created a low-cost biomass cookstove that, by converting waste heat into electricity, reduces smoke emissions by up to 95% while simultaneously providing users with the capability to charge mobile phones and LED lights.
The Key advantages of the BioLIte HomeStove are
1. It ensures that 50% Less Wood is consumed hence ensuring Time and Cash Savings
3.Nearly Eliminates Black Carbon and thus,Protects Climate(very green)
and finally Generates Electricity for charging Phones & LED Lights.
The HomeStove converts heat from the fire into usable electricity via a thermoelectric generator housed within the orange power pack.
This powers a fan that blows air back into the burn chamber for improved combustion. The surplus electricity is then sent to a USB port, allowing you to charge your devices.
Checkout the stories from some of the developing countries the project has been launched in here. You can also check out their other products and how BioLite is make an impact in providing cleaning energy and making lives better on their website.
