Over 600 million Africans lack access to electricity, 80 million of these are Nigerians.
This forces families and local street food vendors to spend a huge part of their income continuously on fuel in kerosene lamps for lighting. Mobile phone use is on the rise too and possessing one entails locating electricity to recharge which is even more expense and difficult.
Ina Lite is a sustainable, affordable, portable, light-weight, thermoelectric generator which harnesses heat energy to generate electricity which is accessible from a USB power port from local families and food vendors cook stations.
How it works:
-The User places the copper conductor in the heat source
-Heat is then converted to electricity through the thermoelectric generator
-The energy generated is channeled to a USB port for charging mobile phones and LED lights.
