Put this in phones to charge them when you aren't using it?


Won't work very long, it operates using the temperature differential between your hand and the interior of the flashlight. Which, based on the quoted "still worked at 50 degrees F", means you'd have to stick your phone in the fridge when you're not using it. And then take it out so it can charge just a little bit before the temperature equalizes.


Alternative, could you use this to capture waste heat from the phone internals?
