thermoelectric Power On Demand / eco-friendly, multi-functional, portable, dependable, and durable

Count me in as a 'late sparrow'. As a teacher, I can see Third World applications for the tPOD1. This elegantly simple device could add hours of useful study time to the days of kids all over the world who live in countries which don't have a reliable source of power. That's without taking the ecological benefits of this device, no more smoking oil or kerosene lamps creating oppressive environments indoors. Great idea, great product...Matt Porrovecchio
