Power Practical

Screen Shot 2013-07-02 at 11.49.36 AM

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.
