That is intersting. A bit huge though? And noisy?

Aye and that fan has that high pitched whine that'd drive you crazy.

Still on an extended trip it'd be handy to be able to charge your devices at night.
Really depends on the the output wattage the USB charger produces, but you can get USB battery chargers now, so if it had enough juice you could charge your phone, GPS and torch batteries while cooking and keeping warm.

Plus although you can make smokeless fires yourself, that for me would be a big advantage.

Be nice to do some temperature comparisons to other stoves as well, as it looks like the fan does give the fire enough oxygen to produce a decent amount of heat.


On the downside, i'm not sure how long those fan bearings would last around that sort of heat.

I heard about these a while ago but have yet to see them for sale. Glad you shared the vid as I was considering one, but now that I've heard the fan going I might rethink.

Yeah they have been about in prototype form for a few years now, I'd like to see something plugged in charging, although seeing him lift the unit up while there was a fire was pretty impressive, very handy for short stop brews

It appeals to the geek in me. Output is 1-4w IIRC

Go to www.thefireweaver.com Julian makes on to clamp on the side of a conventional woodburning stove. great for lighting up your tent etc.

No connection etc.
