AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Conventional cigarette lighters lack visibility of the remaining fuel level, leading to premature disposal and increased plastic waste due to users not being able to accurately assess the fuel quantity.
Method used
A self-powered flame producing assembly with a thermoelectric or piezoelectric nanogenerator that converts thermal or mechanical energy into electrical energy to power a flame indicator, providing visual feedback on the number of flames produced or remaining fuel without the need for batteries.
Benefits of technology
Enables accurate visualization of fuel consumption, reduces premature disposal, and minimizes plastic waste by ensuring lighters are only discarded when fuel is exhausted, while eliminating the need for external power sources and reducing e-waste.
