Ecofan - heat-powered wood stove fan

eco_fan_actual_1.JPGHow many products now have the word “Eco” in the name? Well here’s another one. This self-powered, off-the-grid fan works via the Seebeck effect to create its own electrical power to turn its fan and move warm air around a room.  Sits directly on top of a wood stove and uses the difference in temperature between cool and hot air to create power via its thermoelectric module.  Must be in contact with the top of the stove.

Very quiet, saves wood, generates its own electricity and comes fully assembled.  Provides something to talk about on chilly, backcountry nights.

Made in Canada where the wind blows cold.
