Most of these waters are in cold beverage section. The availability of clean hot water is very scare in all over India which is very limited to few places like hotels. Here makes the demand small adaptive water heater which can be used in road trips which need to small in size, to be heated small amount of water with little time and also durable and there this paper makes a talk.
of fresh water during a journey is very important. But unfortunately, we cannot drink water from the local supplies from an unknown place as its posses higher risk elements. If we go for packaged drinking water, it will be expensive and the empty plastic bottles that we need to carry will be a serious issue to both us and nature. The environmental issues from used plastic bottles is a very big issue. This paper will talk about the adaptive design of travel cup which can heats up the water up to 80 degrees Celsius and could hold that temperature for about 20 minutes, and also could hold cold beverages for the same. The dimensions are optimized to dimensions of a normal cup and the travel cup will work by using the electricity.

1.INTRODUCTION The idea of travel cup has been evolved during early 1980s. The number of travelers is increasing year by year. The travel cup has been come up with an idea to get hot water any time during a journey irrespective of place and climate. As a better and safe options, everyone chooses hot water instead of tap waters. The solution for tap waters is the packaged drinking water which will create so much environmental issues such as the plastics and empty bottles are not easy to carry. In order to obtain hot water any time they need, the travel cup has been evolved. This paper will talk about the design of an adaptive travel cup which can be used in both road trips and in house hold uses. The travel cups can be operated from the power outlets in the car and also from the house hold outlets. The travel cup posses a USB type C port which will make them universal to use. Rather than hot beverages, the travel cup could hold the cold beverages because of the thermal insulation given. The travel cup is also given with a thermistor so as to cut the supply once the required temperature is attained.
3.SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The shape dimensions of the proposed travel cup is given below, The travel will be having a tapered shape with the following dimensions. The steel body of the travel cup have the following dimensions and it is followed by a layer of polyurethane and which is followed by a layer of plastic.
The availability of clean water will be scare in some local places and cheapest way to access the water is the public taps which will not guaranty the cleanliness of the water. The remedy to this is the packaged drinking water. The packaged drinking water bottles are the one of the leading causes for the plastic waste especially in tourist destinations which is not good. On average in India 1 liter
