Sunbeam Teapot by Hyojin Oh from korea
designer's own words:
A heating tea pot could keep warming by using thermal energy which is made of solar heating collected from a small condenser. Condenser, direct heating fiber, and vacuum bottle are compose of the tea pot. The small condenser with 360° rotation available which makes it could control and stop the quantities of the solar lighting depend on the needs. We could get drinks heated up when splitting half between a container and a condenser, also it is easy for users to clean and refill contents by splitting between them completely. The tea pot is made of translucent silicons and plastics materials. Moreover, changing color plastics according to the temperature are composed as a one of main materials on the bottom of the tea pot for Accident Prevention. A lot of improvements compared to what original vacuum bottles have are lighter weight and transparent surfaces made of silicons and polypropylene.
Also, a shape of handle on the tea pot makes tea pot portable and let users feel more comfortable and convenient.
Heat transfer capability of optical fibers through a condenser is almost about 10,000 times compared to temperature of around sun. Moreover, A condenser with five centimeters in diameter could focus on about 3632℉ to the each 1mm of fiber, so the tea pot make a heat which can reach to around 212℉.
Therefore, the thermal energies collected are passed to the whole bottle and able to heat, so we could use it very convenient without other complex operations.
Especially, it is very handy and useful whenever you go traveling kinds of hiking, or camping because you could cook up something to eat by heating energies easily without any electricities.
because using alternative energies as a main energy resources, it doesn't not only discharge any pollutional materials but need additional refuel. Furthermore, tea pot is prepared well for natural disasters like a forest fire because the energies are heated at inside. it is also very useful for various kinds ways like at needy countries which don't have enough resources or Antarctica with a strong ultraviolet.
Come in handy, warm up contents.
