Eureka?



Thinking of the next big invention is fun.

Especially when its in a boring Physics lesson. Our teacher was blah-blahing about how increasing pressure increases water's boiling point.

He also exclaimed that if we could build up enough pressure, we could make water reach temperatures very high.

He also suggested that if we could find a way to rise the pressure inside the pressure cooker so much, that it could reach the boiling point of oil, we could fry things in water.

It didn't take much more 'suggesting' to get me and one of my gaming friends, called Qais, to get our brains to start cooking.



Think, think, think. More thinking.

I guess the light bulb glowed a few times above our heads, then it turned back off again.

Then we had an idea - if we could heat water, and at the same time add more water, the air above it would decrease in volume, therefore building up more pressure.

Eureka?

Maybe. We suggested it to a few teachers, from different subjects, and they all seemed quite intrigued by the idea.

We also did some rough blueprint of what it would look like and its basics of work, in the picture below.



We finally decided to start building it in the summer holidays.

I can't wait!
