The Ribbon is a multi-purpose heater and cooler for portable use. Its unique shape and flexibility allows for wrapping around a vessel containing food or drink for heating or chilling. The black side provides heat, whereas the white cools. You can curl it up, take it with you, fold out and even puzzle together to use as a hotplate. Controls are placed on the side facilitate easy use. The chargeable thermoelectric cell battery can also reverse the charging process -- whilst not in use the cells convert excess heat back in to electricity.
