Nathan Gabriele created a cool concept that consists on a gadget that has a lighter in one side, and a USB port on the opposite side. Although the lighter looks like a normal Zippo, its working mode isn’t normal, because it is flameless:
Uses resistance coils to create heat. It’s the same technology found in car lighters.
In this special case, the USB port serves to recharge the lighter, and at the same time it can transfer data thanks to the internal flash memory. In the end you get a 2-in-1 device, with the extra point of not spending money on extra lighters, now we only need to wait for it to become a real flameless rechargeable USB lighter instead of a concept.
