Eco Factor: Coffee maker runs on solar energy.
Planning a camp without your favorite coffee is just like attending a dance party without beer. When on a camp, finding the right place to prepare a nice cup of coffee does seem to create a problem, especially if you don’t want to pollute the surroundings by burning wood or charcoal for the same. Industrial designer Christopher G. Patton has tried to figure out a way to provide caffeine-addicted campers their daily dose without showing any effects on the environment.
Christopher has designed a coffee maker that doesn’t need a fireplace but the clean energy of the sun for your daily dose of hot coffee. Girasol, which means sunflower in Spanish, is how Christopher refers to his ingenious coffee maker, which was designed for as a project commissioned by the Universidad de Quintana Roo in southern Mexico. The intent is to generate a source of revenue that would subsidize a charitable project initiated by Quintana Roo.
