The SeaKettle Life Raft Makes Its Own Drinking Water [Concepts]

When I believe of post-shipwreck situations, I imagine myself clinging to a few shard of wood, encircled by sharks, delirious from the sun and saltwater. But the SeaKettle, that may desalinate fresh drinking water, sounds more like a floating hotel room.

The luxury life raft is an entry inside the James Dyson Award design competition, and it feels like a relatively comfortable place to spend several nights following a ship-capsizing squall.

The SeaKettle\’s main amenity is a mechanism that pumps seawater into a reservoir covered with Goretex, allowing it to desalinate through evaporation and then trickle into four pockets of drinkable water surrounding the raft.

So, sure, you\’ll probably still would like to attempt to avoid going overboard, but the SeaKettle\’s definitely going to be more comfortable than that shard of wood. [James Dyson Award]
