TEG Power (www.tegpower.com) is now accepting offers for manufacturing rights to this product and the domain name "candlegenerator.com". Essentially we are seeking the "best offer", but exact terms are negotiable.

The market potential for this product is enormous. According to Wikipedia there are over 4,100,000,000 cell phones in use world wide and that figure does not include the many other electronic devices that could be potentially powered by a simple candle. This device is very inexpensive to produce and can retail for well under $70 USD making it very affordable even in the third world. The demographics of potential customers is broad.

Whether someone lives in a city condominium or a country home, all have experienced extended power failures and may not have had any practical way to charge their cell phone. Just a few months ago there were over one million homes without power in the north east due to heavy winter storms, the same as last year and many previous years as well. Africa is the world's fastest-growing cell phone market with average annual increase of 58 percent, yet the electrical grid is sparse and unreliable. Then we have the millions of technologically affluent outdoor enthusiasts who bring their electronics into the wild.

Yes, there are solar (PV) chargers for all of these purposes but solar is weather dependent and can not be used at night in a tent or cabin, whereas a candle can provide hours of electrical charging whenever it is needed while providing light at the same time.

Details: TEG Power has pioneered thermoelectric generators for general public use and proud to have developed this candle powered thermoelectric generator. We feel that this product and other candle powered generators have a huge profit potential for anyone with the ability to properly market them. TEG Power is offering this domain name "candlegenerator.com", along with manufacturing rites for the "Candle Powered USB Charger" (includes proprietary technology) for sale. We have an undisclosed figure and terms in mind, but will consider all offers. If we are not happy with the offers we receive, we will withdraw our sale and manufacture and market this device ourselves. Due to the potential competition that could develop overnight, we will only be accepting offers for a very limited time.

How to make an offer: If you are interested and have a serious offer to make, please email Justin at justin@tegpower.com with a general price. Keep in mind that due to the completive nature of business and the need to protect our proprietary developments, we will not discuss any technical details about this product that is not already covered below until after we have tentatively agreed to an offer and entered into formal negotiations. All offers and who makes them will be held in the strictest confidence. Please understand that we will only respond to serious emails that include a dollar amount from companies, groups or individuals.

Basic Technical Information: This device is a thermoelectric generator that converts the thermal energy of a simple candle into usable electrical energy. This energy is then conditioned, stored & regulated to a 5 VDC / ~100 mA output via a standard USB terminal. This device can provide 30 minutes of charge time for a standard cell phone. This device can be used with any candle.
