We are back with Omer to give an overview of how the incinerator and the heat exchanger will work together to dispose of the waste and generate hot water at the same time. This demo is a mockup to show how the different pieces of the system will operate. Usually, this process will happen when […]
Here we have the first working prototype of the incinerator system that will be used in the SeaPod incinerator toilet. This prototype is essentially an R&D version that will be used to test the different processes that are involved in the system.This prototype was built at the manufacturing facility that we are partnering with and […]
Here we have Omer giving us a demonstration of the LED light strips that we will be using in the SeaPod and the app that will control them. The entire lighting system required a ton of research and testing, but we have found an option that will work perfectly for us.Omer has two different LED light […]
We are back with Omer for a demo of our smart bilge pump system. This system ensures that the water level in the bilge does not rise too far risking instability or even possibly sinking of the SeaPod.We have a differential pressure sensor that allows the system to constantly monitor the water level in the […]
Here we have a great demonstration of our full smart shower system from Omer. He walks us through each of the parts that all come together to deliver a convenient and relaxing shower experience. Omer has mocked up an easy-to-see example of how this system will work. Starting with the jet pump and controller. This […]
The shower in the SeaPod will be controlled either by voice or by a touch screen using our home automation app. The days of fidgeting with shower knobs to get the perfect temperature are over. With our system, you will get the perfect temperature every time.The shower temperature will be set by degrees in the […]
Here we have Omer giving us a demonstration of how the bilge pump will integrate with the home automation system that is at the core of the SeaPod. He shows us a preview of what the data that you will be able to see in the app will look like.The home automation app will serve […]
The bilge pump is a critical part of any boat or other floating structure. It works by pumping any water that gets into the bottom of the boat or structure back out into the sea. The bilge pump is an integral part of keeping boats above the water since most boats and structures are not […]
Here we have a video of two of our 3D printers working on some components of the poop separator for the incinerator toilet. The poop separator does exactly what its name implies, it separates the solid waste from the liquid waste.The liquid waste is strained out and goes into the blackwater system where it will […]
Part of making a super-efficient home is finding ways to repurpose things that would otherwise be wasted. In this case, we will be repurposing the heat that is generated from our jet incinerator system. Since the incinerator system will generate quite a bit of heat when burning the waste, we decided to try to harness […]
One of the challenges with developing the SeaPod is that it won’t be connected to a local grid so it can’t connect to a sewer system. Also, since the SeaPod will be floating in the ocean, we don’t have a yard in which we can bury a septic tank. This leaves us with a big […]
While we make quite a bit of the components for the SeaPod at the Ocean Builders Factory here in Panama, some things require a bit more than we can handle at the factory. One example of this is the components of the incinerator for the incinerator toilet. We are working with a fully sophisticated facility […]
The burners for the incinerator toilet are fueled by propane gas. Since this system will be fully automated, we needed a way to automatically operate the valves to control the flow of gas to the burners. We are back in the workshop with Omer who has built a prototype to show how this will function. […]
Omer Larrañaga Design, Technology
Today, Grant has a really exciting project to show us, energy-efficient steam-powered turbines. When thinking of steam power, many might conjure up notions of old, behemoth trains and factories, but steam power is by no means confined to the industrial age of the 19th and 20th centuries. The team here has developed a number of […]
There aren’t many things about the SeaPod that most people would consider ordinary. We are pushing the boundaries everywhere we can and the shower is no different. While it would have been easier to install a simple knob-controlled shower that you would find in most homes, we decided to go beyond what is normal and […]
We are back with Omer who has a demonstration of the operation of our smart desalination system. This is the reverse-osmosis filtration system that will supply the SeaPod with clean and safe drinking water. The system is powered by a one-horsepower motor that supplies the power to the pump which pressurizes the system. Reverse osmosis […]
The SeaPod uses a jet incinerator to dispose of the solid waste from our toilet system. This incinerator is fueled by propane so it is something that needs to be efficient so that it does not burn unnecessary fuel.We could not design the incinerator to operate on a regular basis based on time because depending […]
Most homes have either a two-knob or a single-knob design for adjusting the water temperature in the shower. These allow us to adjust the temperature to make the water warmer or colder as needed. While this is a tried and true way of controlling the water in the shower, we want to take the SeaPod […]
The jet incinerator system will be a fully autonomous system that will monitor itself and run when needed. Since this system involves open flames and high heat, it has a few dangers associated with it. One of the safety measures that we are implementing is a flame detector. This sensor does exactly what its name […]

Measuring water level in tanks
Omer Larrañaga Technology
Since the SeaPod won’t be supplied by city water or a well like most houses are, we have to store water onboard since our water supply is limited. Things like the shower or the sinks will be supplied with fresh water that is stored in large holding tanks.These tanks will act as a reserve so […]
