THAT's pretty impressive!! Very smart with the thermal electric device becoming a charger! My head is swirling with how that and the fan is wired and held in place!!
Where can I get one before the end of the Incan calender LOL!

I'm with Diana in remembering reading something about this in the New Yorker a while back...this is so phenomenal! Congrats! How wonderful would it be if there were more scientists with a social conscience, willing to put their brainpower to use to make people's lives better?

Hurray for Mr.IK! That is really very, very cool indeed! And so EXCITED it's coming to our neck of the woods --- tell him a great big thank you from me, at least. I can imagine rural or semi-rural or hey, even urban low-income families getting very excited about its cellphone charging station especially!
