Lightweight, Collapsible Pressure Cooker

Abstract

Due to the reduced atmospheric pressure encountered at high altitudes, the current Army cook stove does not function well. This task was initiated to design and develop a collapsible pressure cooker for use by troops operating at high altitudes. The collapsible cooking pot is fabricated from a silicone rubber coated fiberglass material and has an aluminum bottom and lid. The lid incorporates a breech lock type closure, pressure regulator, folding handle and safety valve. Size, weight-capacity and safety factor were prime considerations in the design of this pressure cooker.
