Flameless Rechargeable USB Lighter

Juniper Foo | Nov 12, 2007

We're not advocating that you puff your lungs out with this, but it deserves a mention for being a device with such odd bedfellows. That is, it's a lighter that also doubles as a USB drive. Try naming another 2-in-1 if you can of unexpected hybrids. In case you're wondering how designer Nathan Gabriele is cramming a flash drive into a flammable lighter, well, he's tossed out the lighter fluid and flint. In place are resistance coils, similar to car lighters, to create heat. Better yet, the onboard rechargeable cell can be juiced up via USB. Now how's that for synergy. Too bad this is more smoke than fire as it's still just a concept that Gabriele's exhaled.
