The device takes approximately 1% of the energy available from the heat, converts it to electricity, and uses the power for a fan which increases the efficiency of the biomass fuel burning. The left over power can be used to charge an small device like my iPod touch.

BioLite Stove Recharges Mobile Devices
A product that combines a few of my favorite activities. The BioLite combines, tech, community, and camping. The device charges your cell phone or iPod device while cooking by burning available biomass (leaves, sticks, corn husks, etc) and comes in a backpacking or campsite stove size. The people at BioLite currently work towards providing a home stove version of the product.
