Can't wait to get the actual product. It is a wood stove, which when lit, produces electricity. This does two things, powers a fan to blow air into the fire to create a really hot/efficient fire, plus there is enough power generated to charge your electronics. It burns wood, so no need to buy/carry fuel. Exactly what I was looking for. Though I found this a year or longer ago, so it definitely has been a wait. Spring 2012 I believe is the release date.

Plus this company supposedly, to some extent anyway, helps developing countries by providing a much larger model of this to its residents. It burns much cleaner and can help save lives since smoke inhalation can kill. Not sure if the stoves are provided at no cost to the end user or if the government pick up the cost or the sale of this model will cover the larger model. In any case it is a real solution and is actually being used, which is much better than any theory being passed around on how to solve the few issues involved here.
