This one’s a self-heating food and beverage container featuring a high performance dynamo that makes it possible to heat food in minutes.

The external shell is crafted from Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), which is a good thing coz it’s a chemical and mechanical resistant material that can withstand temps up to 150° Celsius, and is a fire retardant. The sensor-triggered LED indicates when the food (or beverage) reaches the optimum temp. All in all, Vertigo looks to be good enough to make it to the essentials list.
