The Ember doesn’t need some special burner or fuel. It just needs a temperature difference. As long as water is flowing, the tubing stays surprisingly cool even with a flame nearby. Sterno, candles, hot metal, even summer asphalt can all work. Heat is everywhere. PiggyPower just gives you a way to use it.

The Ember only needs heat and water to generate electricity. No direct flame required. Use a wood stove, camp stove, or other heat source. Better yet, the cooling water comes out hot, so you can recover that heat for washing or hydronic use too.

In this video, I’m going to show you how with just heat and water, we can start building a complete off-grid civilization kit. The electric stove is just there to give you a clean demonstration. The real idea is that this same system could sit on something like a wood stove and recover useful power from heat you were already producing.

No real goal here. I tried replicating corona discharge photography with a Fresnel lens, fried my high voltage module, and got arcs well over 12 inches long. Potentially around the million volt range.

Worth it for the footage.

And for my haters, no tables were harmed.

The PiggyPower Ember can take something as simple as a small flame and turn it into usable electricity on the spot.

Heat + water = electricity. 🔥💧⚡

What happens when the gas runs out?

Piggy Power can use wood, charcoal, alcohol, pellets, or nearly any other heat source to make electricity while also capturing useful heat for hot water and space heating.

One fire. Three necessities.

I tried to donate PiggyPower generators to people in Gaza who desperately needed power. I found someone on the ground ready to receive them. Israel blocked the shipments. We have to do better as humans. Christ commanded us to love our neighbor.

I blasted a piece of quartz with high voltage and somehow turned it into a light bulb. NASA actually documented a very similar effect called quartz cathode luminescence.

At this point I really need to start checking NASA papers before I touch anything.

[Anthony Pignatelli @RealPiggyPower]

You guys asked, I listened, and I tried a different fuel puck shape.

Unfortunately… this Amazon experiment did not go as planned 😂

[Anthony Pignatelli @RealPiggyPower]

You ever wonder what happens when you blast a light bulb with voltages it was never designed to handle? Me too. A Tesla coil can excite the gas inside a fluorescent tube and make the phosphor coating glow without even plugging it in. Pretty cool, right?

Apparently fire has a USB port now.

The Ember makes electricity from heat, day or night. Stove, campfire, charcoal, propane. If you can make heat, you can make power.

And yes, today it powered a Bob omb.

You guys have been asking about the Piggy Power Cell 40 for a while. In this video it’s running a Wi-Fi router, plasma ball, and LED bomb light at the same time. And the heat isn’t wasted either. The water leaving the cell can be stored for space heating, washing, or an emergency shower.

[Anthony Pignatelli @RealPiggyPower]

Every time I post one of these generators, you guys tell me I’m gonna get taken out by the government 😂 I appreciate the compliment, but it’s just real thermoelectric physics. Heat in, electricity out. And this is my smallest one.

Shout-out to my number one fans

[Anthony Pignatelli @RealPiggyPower]

This candle is powering a Tor-enabled WiFi router. The same Ember can run lights, charge phones and battery banks, or power small USB gear.

Responding to bad atmospheric electricity claims.

[Anthony Pignatelli @RealPiggyPower]

Suggestions in the comments. Thanks guys.

The Pignatelli motor can actually run off electricity collected from the atmosphere. In this test I pushed it with hundreds of thousands of volts to see how fast it could spin, then killed the lights to show the corona discharge. More weird energy stuff at https://t.co/enEyEuTX6O.

I tested plain paper scraps as fuel for the Piggy Power Ember. Amazon packing paper, cardboard, junk mail, basically trash. It worked. I generated electricity and charged a phone from it. 😂
