Tellurex Corporation unveiled a practical solution that combines native
cooking fires and thermoelectric science to recharge cell phones and other
portable electrical devices in remote villages and huts around the world.
The Tellurex World Pot is one of more than thirty innovative products that
are featured in the Design for the Other 90 Percent, a Smithsonian
Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum exhibition on display at RedLine in
Denver, Colorado today through September 25.

The company conducted a live demonstration at the exhibit using a fully
discharged cell phone and a common teakettle with an implanted high
performance Tellurex thermoelectric module and a USB port. After less than
two minutes atop a modest fire, the common teakettle had become an electric
generator, enabling a Tellurex engineer to boot up the dead phone and place
a call to a spectator, who was chosen at random. Meanwhile, the
teakettle-generator also began to boil and sterilize water.

The Tellurex World Pot can deliver important benefits to native people in
the underdeveloped world who may benefit from far-reaching cellular coverage
but are too often ambushed and robbed while trekking to distant charging
stations for their phones. It may also be a life saver in any location hit
by a natural disaster and power loss, where rescue may depend on keeping
cell phone GPS and texting power working over several days, along with any
mapping and compass apps.
