Pranjal Srivastava, student of GD Goenka School, Lucknow has invented a device that can cook food and charge a mobile phone at the same time. The thermoelectric stove generator can convert waste heat into electrical energy.
The energy produced is stored in a supercapacitor. There is a USB port from which one could harness the power generated. During the cooking process, there is extra heat generated which is usually wasted.
This device will tap that waste energy and convert it into electrical energy. Remarkably the total cost of building the stove is Rs 400.
The research got the first prize at the Standard National Inspire Awards as well as the Student Innovation Competition in the Philippines
