Does there exist a device that can be put in a fire or other hot heat source to generate energy? I'm looking more into if a portable or smaller device fits this category.

Hey Dave. I went to their http://a1stoves.com/" wondering what the temperature difference needs to be for normal operation and couldn't find anything. Do you know any of its specs?DaveC426913 said:I saw the awesomest, simplest device evar sitting on my friend's wood-burning stove. It's a convection fan powered entirely by heat.
Bottom gets hot, top stays cool. Difference causes electricity to flow, powers fan.

A small device can get voltage from fire through a process called thermoelectricity. This involves using two dissimilar metals to create a temperature difference, which then produces a voltage.
The purpose of a small device that can get voltage from fire is to harness the energy from fire and convert it into usable electricity. This can be used in emergency situations, camping, or in remote areas where traditional power sources are unavailable.
The amount of voltage a small device can generate from fire depends on several factors such as the temperature of the fire, the type of metals used, and the design of the device. Generally, a small device can generate anywhere from 0.5 to 3 volts.
As with any type of electricity, precautions should be taken when using a small device to get voltage from fire. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and handle the device with care to avoid any potential electrical hazards.
Yes, a small device can get voltage from any type of fire as long as there is a significant temperature difference between the two sides of the device. However, the amount of voltage generated may vary depending on the heat intensity and duration of the fire.
