ABSTRACT:
A combusting apparatus of the present invention can easily recharge an incorporated storage battery that has been exhausted to or below a required minimum level. A burner (18) in the combusting apparatus is further provided with a thermoelectricity generating element (4), which receives the heat of combustion and generates a thermoelectric e.m.f. When a multi-contact switch (16) is activated to set the arrangement of plural capacitors (15) in parallel, the capacitors (15) having the parallel configuration are charged with a thermoelectric e.m.f. generated by the thermoelectricity generating element (4). When an operation of a switching button (20) activates the multi-contact switch (16) to change the arrangement of the capacitors (15) from the parallel configuration to the series configuration, the sum of the voltages of the capacitors (15) is applied to an oscillation circuit (9) included in a booster circuit (8) as well as a storage battery (12). The booster circuit (8) is then activated to boost the thermoelectric e.m.f. generated by the thermoelectricity generating element (4) and start applying the boosted voltage to the storage battery (12). This enables the exhausted storage battery (12) to be efficiently recharged with the power supplied from the capacitors (15) and the booster circuit (8).
