2013 Tech We're Excited About Part 3, The VOTO Charger Uses Fire to Charge Your Cell Phone
By Wes O’Donnell
Where there’s smoke there’s heat, and Point Source Power has figured out a way to harness that heat to charge your cell phone. The company’s new VOTO charger converts the heat generated from a fire to create power. It’s an amazing solution that could provide a power source for those who live in areas without power and back-country campers alike.
