H.EAT Battlefield ration heating system

During war, soldiers on the battlefield are forced to operate under harsh conditions, far from infrastructure and cut off from resources. They find shelter in temporary structures that provide a rare opportunity for a brief respite amidst the chaos – a place to unpack and regroup, recuperate, sleep and eat. But even in these moments, a simple task like heating a meal poses a real challenge. The project started from a basic need: allowing soldiers to safely and quietly heat food rations on the battlefield. Existing field stoves operate on gas, wick, or chemical heating – all of which produce visible heat, waste, noise, smoke, and odor, which are problematic in the heart of enemy territory. “H.EAT” is a portable heating system based on magnetic resonance technology – fast, silent, and safe for use in confined spaces. Designed as a lightweight, folding, and portable package, the kit is powered by a rechargeable battery and solar energy. The kit offers a moment of routine and blessed comfort in a small group ritual, in the heart of a combat zone. Advisor: Eran Lederman
