90% preferred a hot meal to a cold one.
67% felt rushed to eat their lunch
JUSTIFICATIONCooking and heating food:- aids digestion- kills pathogens- makes food more appetizing- provides more taste and texture options- prevents “leftover” waste
EXISTING SOLUTIONSHeating Element Lunch Box:
Patent #6144016

- AC or battery powered- Unspecified heating
capabilities
EXISTING SOLUTIONSGel Packet Lunch Thermos:
Patent #5259026

- gel packets with metallic spheres maintain temp.
EXISTING SOLUTIONSUSB Bento Box:
- requires USB port- only “keeps food
warm”.
EXISTING SOLUTIONSMilitary Flameless Ration Heaters:- heat food to 96 oC in under
12 minutes- require addition of water
HOW FRH’S WORK
Mg(s) + H2O(l) Mg(OH)2(s) + H2(g) + Heat
PROPOSED SOLUTIONS
Ethan’s Idea:- Compartmented chemical heater
PROPOSED SOLUTIONS
Nathaniel’s Idea:- Metal box with electric heat
PROPOSED SOLUTIONS
Paige’s Idea:- L-shaped chemical heater
SOLUTION DECISION
MEETING WITH OUR ADVISOR
Mr. George Tunis, CEO of Hardwire LLC
SOLUTION DECISION
“FINAL” SOLUTION
MOCK-UPS & REVISION Pouch in Conductive Tupperware
- Bag needs ventilation- Too much water lowers
maximum temperature- Tupperware prevents
heat transfer- Direct contact with FRH
deforms lunch box insulation
