3 non-electric appliances for sale on ebay:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Powerpot-charge...2718715299?  This pot cooks your food and charges your cell phone. 
https://www.ebay.com/itm/HeatMate-Double...2721685050?  Stove was highlighted in Bob's video about living in an SUV for $250 a month.  Auction starts at 15 bucks.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Stirling-Engine...2718425324?  This fan runs without electricity, and while it runs on a flame, it doesn't heat up the surroundings as much as you'd think.  Can also be placed on a wood stove or kero heater in winter to move air.

Funny you posted the fan. Saw a video last week of a heat activated fan that was built in 1870.

"Stirling fan works on multiple heat sources."

Um, if I'm trying to cool down I don't want an additional heat source going.

Someone wanted me to put this here: http://rollingsteeltent.blogspot.com/

yeah the fan is meant for winter so it circulates the hot air.  I have one and it works great on a wood burner inside a tent.  here's a pic of it inside my tent in the yellow box.

   

sorry about the low quality,  it's a scanned pic.

Look up Lake Breeze fans from the late 1800s.  Yes they do cool down.  My cousin and family all used this fan in the non-electric cottage and it worked great.  Lake Breeze fans were used up until electricity reached everyone from the 1860s till 1940 or so.  My aunt's (by marriage)  parents used a number of Lake Breeze fans on their farm before they got wired up for electricity.  Too bad they sent them to the landfill because a Lake Breeze fan brings a nice price.  So yeah, there's a flame, but it's small and the heat pretty much stays at the base, the turbo breeze it produces comes from the heat exchange and  unless you're standing right on top of it, you are going to get the ambient air.  You can even use this with candles. 

Even when put on a heater, it doesn't move hot hair, it moves the ambient air.  Stirling engines are pretty cool.   Lake Breeze made a number of really nice pretty fans too.  If you have an extra 3 grand laying around, you can get one of the nice floor models.

One and Two days left on the sale on ebay. 

Nobody has bid on the HeatMate boat stove.  So odd because on Bob's youtube, people were begging to know where to get this stove.  It has a gimbal in it to keep it level at all times.  Marine stuff is much better constructed.  They aren't even available any more.  It's never been used before, so it's new but in a beat up box.  No one has bid yet and bid starts at $15.  If it doesn't sell it goes to the Salvation Army and because no one knows what it is, it'll probably end up in the land fill. Shame.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/HeatMate-Double...2721685050?  Stove was highlighted in Bob's video about living in an SUV for $250 a month.  Auction starts at 15 bucks.

Also the Power Pot, the small pot that charges your cell phone while making dinner is also unsold.  It's here if anyone is interested:

Nope.  9 lbs. double boxed.  Box dimensions are 12x12x11.  Coming from zip code 33850.  No handling was added.  Maybe you can double check from your end and your zipcode to see if it's calculating it right.

The Power Pot phone charger sold.  Only one item left, the alcohol stove that Bob and Simply Lesa talked about in his youtube vid.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/HeatMate-Double...2721685050?  Stove was highlighted in Bob's video about living in an SUV for $250 a month.  Auction starts at 15 bucks.

No bids and it ends in less than a day.  I don't know how the weight is coming up for you, but if you win the bid and ebay tells you it costs more to send than it costs, the excess will be refunded back to you.  The item weighs 9 lbs and box is 12x12x11 and the zipcode is 33850.  If you're out west, I think it's going to cost more.  I'll send it as cheaply as possible, that is if it sells.

At any rate, THANK YOU everyone for looking at these auctions.
