The Sea Kettle, an American invention of Kim Hoffman, has been selected for the James Dyson Award contest in October awarded $ 15,000 to the winner. The Marine Kettle is capable of converting sea water into fresh water. Installed on a raft and thanks to a manual pump seawater hosts in a warehouse roof. The sun's heat causes water to evaporate to be captured and collected in containers inside the walls of the raft. 
Once the drops of condensed water flowing into the pockets of the raft through four areas, using a tube can be consumed from inside the boat, which seats five people. The system can provide three liters of fresh water a day.
graduate student at the Academy of Art University of San Francisco, Kim Hoffman has sailed since childhood and always believed that the sailors should be able to obtain their own drinking water in an emergency. Has finally achieved a system that also could have wide applications in different coastal areas of the world where people lack sufficient drinking water. "I love creating concepts and products that have a real impact in the lives of people and the world, without compromising the environment," says Hoffman.
James Dyson Award The competition challenges industrial designers worldwide to create devices that solve problems or deficiencies. In this edition, 18 countries have submitted nominations. The winner will receive the award twice: $ 15,000 for the designer and another 15,000 for college that has supported him. Ultraviolet sterilizer bottle
rope
Among other inventions presented highlights a portable bottle filtration and ultraviolet sterilization water created by a Brit who has traveled in Africa and has been in first person the lack of drinking water. The bottle has an outer chamber is filled with dirty water from any lake, stream or pond. It then passes through a filter for particles down to 4 microns in size. Once clear, the water is sterilized for 90 seconds using an ultraviolet bulb that works giving string. In two minutes, the water is ready to drink anywhere in the world, free of 99.9% of bacteria and viruses without the unpleasant taste left by chlorine or iodine tablets, which also takes 30 minutes to do their job cleaning.
