Sure I have read news stories recently of local councils and Royal Parks etc starting to get arsey with people running fitness businesses on the lands that those bodies maintain/control. I don't think you can just pitch up where you like and start running classes.
Also is there not already some sort of mobile instructor <-> student wireless/radio comms system, such as that used by motorcycle trainers? Can't be that much of a leap to have a high quality version of that with music added in?

Because having my £600 iphone sitting within a couple of feet of a boiling kettle is a good idea
Because having my phone tethered to a burning cooker is great news when someone grabs the phone and pulls the lot over
NO THANKS
p.s. how long do you have to sit there burning fuel to give your phone a full charge?

That will fail on dd I think as all your points are raised however the failure to ask the efficiency of the thermo is just crap TV Because having my phone tethered to a burning cooker is great news when someone grabs the phone and pulls the lot over

It's currently in development for launch: http://www.tegology.com/
What they didn't really make clear on the show is that the stove has an internal battery pack which it charges, the user then charges their device from that. It was a poor presentation (or poorly edited) coming across as "this only charges your device when the burner is alight", they missed the key feature of the internal battery.
The blurb says "the stove will charge devices at a rate of 5 volts at 1 amp.. Any ideas on how long that would take to charge an iPhone from flat?
I'm a seasoned camper and festival go-er, but don't see any advantage over my Trangia stove and a couple of rechargeable battery packs that I take on every trip, these give me enough juice for a week away. Separate battery packs are useful for long weekends away when not camping, without the need to carry a stove around with me.
I think the target market for this product - campers who will be away from mainstream charging facilities/car chargers for an extended time, but are stil lable t ocarry enough gas canisters to keep this thing going - is fairly small and it won't make the fortune that the Dragons were all getting hot under the collar about.

This outputs at 2.1A with an average charge time of an iPhone of 5-6 hours....so I am guessing approx. 10hrs from flat.

Yep if you're somewhere where you'll not be seeing power for days these days, you're either at Glastonbury Festival, or you're somewhere so remote you won't be getting any kind of mobile data signal either. Sure there's offline map apps but I'd have thought if you're somewhere like that you take a hard copy paper map, to be safe!What they didn't really make clear on the show is that the stove has an internal battery pack which it charges, the user then charges their device from that.

Thanks for the link, no the presentation didn't mention the battery part, or if they did it was so quick I missed it.
