Candle-powered LED

At first glance, you might have thought that you read incorrectly. After all, it isn’t strange to have LED-powered candles these days that offer a much safer solution to keeping the room lighted without running the risk of burning the house down, but a candle-powered LED? The tables have certainly turned this time round thanks to Nextreme Thermal Solutions, relying on wasted heat from the candle to power the super bright LED as seen on the right. This is the thermoelectric conversion principle in action, and hopefully such a principle can be translated to notebooks that convert heat into power for the display and other parts for superior battery life. Hopefully a more energy and space efficient matter to take advantage of this principle will occur sooner rather than later.
