The project
Introduction
Problem:
Water scarcity is one of the most serious environmental problems today & over time it will aggravate if consumption is not moderated.
Nowadays water is used to fulfill many of the basic human needs; for feeding, personal hygiene and even for amusement, so the necessary measures must be taken in order to avoid problems in the future.
Solution:
"EcoSteamo needs no electricity, because it uses the steam generated by cooking as its main source of energy, creating a self-sufficient & environmentally friendly appliance."
Internal Hydrological System
This system allows you to reuse the same water without pouring new water every time you wish to use the appliance.
Ecosteamo is divided into 2 main parts:
1. Base Station
2. Food Container
Each one of these parts has a different performance within the operation of the appliance.
Components
Food container
The Food Container is divided into three parts:
1. Top cover
2. Polycarbtonate jar
3. Bottom cover
The two covers can be exchanged as they are identical.

Components
Base station
The Base Station is the main part of the appliance, it is in charge of the hydrologic system & the steam distribution.
The internal walls of the Base Station are covered with insulation to avoid humidity reaching internal electrical components.
All functions can be regulated on the control panel located at the front of the station.

Technology
How it works?
Ecosteamo works as an old steam machine, using steam power with the aid of a piston, which launches an electric generator that automatically feeds the internal battery and the entire mechanism that generates enough power to carry out the hydrological cycle.
The cycle process can last as long as required.
Functioning
How to use
Steps:
1. Pull the handle & remove the container.
2. Add some water if needed.
3. Fill the food container as you please.
4. Place the food container into the base and select the appropiate cooking program.
