(prHWY.com) December 20, 2012 - Seattle, WA -- One of the most frustrating elements of camping has got to be the willingness to give up the luxury of warm water. Showers, hand washing, and laundry is all done in lukewarm to cold water, but what if there was a way to get warm water to any campsite no matter where it was located?
That is exactly the problem a group of campers turned inventors think they have solved. This group of campers believes that they have come up with a way to incorporate a tankless water heater system into a campsite.
"What this water heater system does is it runs solely on the heat that is generated from a basic necessity when camping - the fire", said John Summers, one of the campers turned inventor. "There is this really unique cord that is placed in the fire and that works to heat the water on the spot."
The group of campers spent the past six months working on developing this tankless water heater system that really works. They worked to create a cord that wouldn't burn on the spot when placed into the fire and an entire system that would be able to
fully heat up the water.
"One of the biggest challenges we faced was the cord that would heat up the water", said Summers. "When we'd put the cord we were going to use in the fire, it would just sort of shrivel up and burn. We finally came up with a fireproof version of a cord that would transform the heat from the fire and carry it to a bowl or tub of water."
The whole basis of the system is fairly simple. The heat from the fire will be transformed into a type of energy that can be used to heat up the water. The idea came when the campers noticed that a tankless water system for their Seattle home worked just as well as a tank water heating system.
"We were amazed at just how efficient this type of heating system could be", said Summers. "It just sparked out creative juices flowing and really made us want to come up with a heating system for our campsite."
The group of campers hopes to be able to show off their new invention at the next Seattle campers' expo. The group plans on showing it off and hopefully taking orders for them to be able to start selling the item.
