Thanks for that Craig, Appreciate the confirmation and clarification as there was a bit of confusion in some of the references I'd read, or at least in my head:~) That article on the saucepan phone charger was really interesting I'd often wondered if thermocouples would be useful; should be some interesting physics in those ceramic versions! Sounds easier than using a hand generator but still a lot of fuel to find on a camping trip. I've just sent a couple of bottles of metho' in a supply drop to a friend on a longish expedition because they can't store enough in the kayak. Still there's plenty of wood to be had most places I guess Another expedition supply issue in our neck of the woods is potable water - wonder what the most inventive desalinator might be for kayaking!
