Inflating cup

Graduation project
2006

Prototypes for a cup that inflates when a hot drink is poured into it. The purpose is to create an insulating layer around the cup.

The project follows on the physics experiments that I did earlier. The project resulted in a functional prototype out of steel/rubber, and a design prototype out of ceramics.

dimensions: 8m diameter x 10cm heigh
materials: ceramics, steel, rubber, chemicals
