PowerPot: 2013 Editor’s Choice Award from Backpacker Magazine
In its perennial round-up of the year’s hottest gear,Backpacker Magazine has chosen the PowerPot V by Power Practical for the Snow Award. The award recognizes products that lead the way in the outdoor industry.
“When you’ve got a flat-top wood-burning stove and you’re heating up a hut or yurt… you’ve got a never-ending supply of juice at your fingertips,” Backpacker Magazine’s official tester said of the PowerPot.
The PowerPot V is a portable thermoelectric generator. It serves as both a power source for USB devices and a cooking pot for preparing soup, tea or MREs. It uses thermoelectric technology to convert excess heat into electricity while cooking.
“We wanted to make something that harnessed the immense energy of fire so it could be used to power electronic gear,” said co-inventor David Toledo.
After three years of development, Toledo and co-inventor Paul Slusser turned to the popular crowdfunding site Kickstarter to help fund production of the PowerPot V.
“We knew the idea would be a hit, but we needed the support of the crowdfunding world to make it happen,” said Slusser.
Launching on Kickstarter in April of 2012, the duo raised over twice their original goal of $50,000 and pre-sold nearly a thousand PowerPots. They went to work on the production of the PowerPot and built a team to help run the company, now called Power Practical. This would lead to a commercial sales debut at the 2013 Winter Outdoor Retailer.
Just nine months later, the product was given the nod by Backpacker Magazine, receiving the prestigious Editor’s Choice Snow Award for 2013. The PowerPot’s rapid climb from idea to crowdfunding, commercial launch and now receiving this accolade demonstrate its popularity.
“It only took twelve months from shipping our first PowerPots out to receive this award,” said Toledo, who now sits as President of Power Practical, “and better yet we received it just nine months after we launched into commercial retail. We’re overwhelmed by the support and can’t wait to show everyone what we are coming out with next.”

How do I use the PowerPot?
Answer
Using the PowerPot is as easy as boiling a pot of water. Just plug in the USB charging cable, add water and place on heat.
Focus the heat in the bottom center of the plate. Avoid applying heat to the sides of the PowerPot, this reduces power output and in extreme cases can cause damage to the unit. Within a few moments the green light on the charging cable will light up, indicating you are ready to charge. Plug in any USB device and off you go!
While The PowerPot does not require constant attention, it does need to be at least 50% full while heat is being applied. If you are preparing food w the PowerPot, empty ⅔ of the hot water for use with MREs/soup and replace with cold water.

Optimize your performance
Power Practical
We realize the importance of having reliable energy sources in our daily lives, wherever we live, work, and play. Energy enables us to use our cellphones for business, leisure, or staying in touch with family, it enables us to heat and cool our homes, and it enables us to light our offices, to list just a few examples of energy applications. While the grid that supplies electricity to most of the world is generally reliable, we all experience the occasional power outage. And, there are vast areas of the world that are simply off the grid. The problems posed by imperfect and/or unavailable energy resources is what drives Power Practical’s research and development. Energy independence is important for all of us. It’s not something that is going to happen overnight, but we should all strive for it in our daily lives. To achieve real energy security, diversifying energy resources is key. To rely on a single resource in any situation is not a solution.
At Power Practical, our mission is to develop innovative, effective, and affordable energy products, emphasizing diversity in energy resources.
Power Practical is constantly striving to create the best energy products on the market. With several revolutionary products still in development (one which just last week kickstarted with 3 times its funding goal) we are proud to introduce the Power Pot.
The PowerPot® is a lightweight thermoelectric generator that converts heat into DC electrical power. Simply add water to the pot and place it on a heat source appropriate for boiling water. The PowerPot® will immediately start powering up your mobile electronics. The PowerPot® comes equipped with a standard USB (5V) port, making it compatible with devices you already have. The cable has three feet of heavy-duty, flame-resistant wire. The solid-state voltage regulator provides up to 5W of power to charge your high-tech devices.
The PowerPot® gives you the power to charge your electronics anytime, in any situation. Use it in the backcountry or at home during a power outage. The PowerPot will charge cell phones, GPS units, iPods, and lithium ion batteries or will also run speakers, lights, fans, or other low-power USB appliances.
