SeaKettle: a life raft with an incorporated desalination process

Function

The SeaKettle is a life raft that combines safety, accessibility, and a desalination process. In an emergency at sea, you may not be able to obtain fresh drinking water before being forced to abandon ship. Passengers could easily die of thirst or from extreme temperatures before they are rescued or reach land. The SeaKettle solves these potential life threatening problems by providing both insulated, reliable shelter as well as fresh drinking water. The process, (see image 5), involves pumping sea water up to a Gortex covered reservoir, where the water is subject to evaporation. The evaporated water then hits the top canopy and condenses, filling the four pockets around the raft with fresh drinking water. The Gortex cover over the reservoir allows the vapor molecules to escape, but holds in the larger liquid molecules, preventing the pockets of fresh water from becoming contaminated by the sea water. This produces enough water for up to five passengers to stay sufficiently hydrated.

T-Fal ActiFry

ACTIFRY: a revolutionary cooking appliance that crisps and provides the same meal satisfaction as ‘deep-frying’ using a spoonful of oil. Traditional, home-style favorites - such as crispy and golden French fries - are easily prepared, reducing drastically the fat content vs. that of oven-made or fast food restaurant fries. Essential good oils can be used, such as olive oil, sun-flower, rapeseed, canola. In addition, the nutritional properties of both the potato and, more importantly, the “good” oil used are less degraded to promote better health.


ACTIFRY’s unique process – using a spoonful of oil - can also be used to cook a large number of healthy, tasty recipes: including seafood, meat, crunchy stir-fried or home-style vegetables, and fruits.
