Today nearly 2 billion people worldwide have no access to modern energy services. And also in countries with public electricity grids there are many situations without power supply: In remote places, while outdoor activities and after natural disasters or crises. No matter why people have no access to electricity, there is one thing all this situations have in common: Under these circumstances people use fire — for cooking, for heating or to illuminate the darkness at least with a few candles. IGNIS is a tool that transforms the heat of these flames into electricity and stores it to provide light and power whenever needed. It can simply be placed on a stove while cooking or heating. In addition, IGNIS can also produce heat by burning ordinary household liquids like spirits, any oil or even used frying fat that everybody has available at home. It offers a solution of how people all around the world can get access to electric power and light in a sustainable and self-sufficient way.
