The 'Snow Energy' charger creates the ability to charge your smartphone or other USB device in an unorthodox manner by utilizing the power of extreme temperatures in order to power the thermoelectric generator within. The device works by having hot water added to the top portion of the unit and having the heat sink portion placed into somewhere cold such as a snow bank or a container of ice. This then creates energy that can be used for charging your device or offering illumination wherever you might find yourself.
The 'Snow Energy' is the design work of Shim Jieun and Won Boram, and comes as a modern solution to utilizing the energy around us to keep our modern technology devices up and running.
