My son is a senior in high school and he had a science project and we talked about the heat you get from alcohol gel and candles, well this planted the seed and to work we went, it wasn’t long and he was bored and started a new science project, I had the bug and the time. ( I am in construction and the phone stopped ringing) after many months of trial and error, sleepless nights and thousands of hours of research and hard work the SEC Stove was born. And I don’t want to forget about the miserable night I spent on the interstate here in Wyoming shut down and snowed in, if I would of had the SEC Stove it would have been a walk in the park.

SEC stands for survival, emergency, camping. This stove also acts as a lantern and a heater. Its fuel sources are alcohol gel and paraffin wax, contents include 1 hour of gel for instant heat and is great for cooking, the paraffin wax will burn up to 40 hours depending on how many wicks you burn, and provides light, heat and also the abilities to cook. You get additional wicks a lantern chain and matches, a 22 oz cooking container, 10 oz cooking cup and aluminum foil that will act as a wind break and lid for the cooking container. Its all aluminum construction, compact size and anodized finish along with the carrying bag, that is also used as a heat pad. A great tool for camping and emergency situations.
Inventor: Robert McStay
I am the entrepreneurial type, having been a self employed tile and stone contractor for 30 years, and working on some of the very high end projects around the country, allowed me to be very creative almost everyday and this experience shows in the creation of the stove. I am a family man with old fashioned values and even at the age of 56 have the drive of a college student in his quest to achieve his dreams.
After a year of trial and error on dozens of models different fuels such as wax, I have a new nick name ( The candle man) I was always burning wax, cooking with gels and my kids friends branded me with that nickname, this would not really be funny except for the fact I am 6 ft tall 230 pounds always wear a ball cap and facial hair, and worked in construction all my life. And no I do not build scented candles.

iPhone Solar power station works for iPhone, Iphone 3G, iPod, Nano, Nano4 and Touch 2 and 2A
Several years ago, while working in a manufacturing environment, a few co-workers and I were discussing alternative sources of renewable energy, such as nuclear, solar and wind, but it seemed as if all were good ideas, but cost always became a problem. A phone call came in on an iPhone, for a co-worker, but without power, unable to answer, He forgot to charge it before leaving home, so frustration hit my co-worker. Idea hit me! An instant source of power cell phones. Then, what is the most popular cell phone around? Apple iPhone as well as the BlackBerry! Thus the solar power station for the Iphone was discovered, designed and created. Other products are in the proto-type development stage.
Inventor: Willie E. Nason - Solarologist
I’m a 56 year old African American male working in an aerosol manufacturing company, but studied and researched other sources of solar energy and how it relates to digital products and how to make them more compatible and yet cost effective and affordable to the general pubic for over 4 year. I'm the nations first "Solarologist", is a person who studies and is considered some what of an expert in the continued research, development and a pioneer in new diverse usages of solar energy, as it relates in direct correlation to digital electronic communications technology.
While doing further field testing, I left one of the proto-types on my computer desk under a regular florescent light and the next morning I discovered it will also charge with now 3 sources of energy.

This is a fabulous item. It is easy to think of ten people that could use it. We have all seen Iphones die too soon from using so much power.

This product is great, it works great, I used it on my daughter's Nano when it was turn off, then plugged in the charger, turned it on and in 2 seconds the Nano was turned on and charging. This makes an affordable gift for the person in your life that is … more all about saving energy and our earth. My daughter loves her's.

I bought a couple of these stoves and love the product! Very useful and easy to use. Can't wait to use on my hiking trips to the mountains this summer. My wife used it during a power outage to make dinner. Many different uses in one product. THANK YOU … more SEC!!!
