Subject: Idea - A safety system for boiling water dispensers that prevents burns.
Hi,
This appears to describe a system that could potentially be developed using Rhapsody.
However, it’s not clear what specific improvements are being suggested for it.
The Rhapsody tool has been around for over 25 years, successfully supporting the development of such systems.
Let me connect you with a local Rhapsody expert for further assistance/take this thread forward.

*******************************
Imagine a world where you never have to worry about burns from a boiling water tap again. No more rushing to stop a child from reaching for a hot faucet or worrying about a tired employee accidentally scalding themselves. This safety system ensures that no one ever has to suffer the pain of a burn, providing peace of mind in high-risk environments like homes, kitchens, healthcare facilities, and public spaces. The constant fear of accidental scalds is eliminated, letting you breathe easy knowing your loved ones, employees, or customers are safe from harm.
The system works by sending a small electrical signal through the water. If someone touches the water, the signal travels through their body and back to the button that activates the tap, immediately shutting off the water flow and stopping burns before anyone even realizes there’s a danger.
This innovation is easy to integrate, providing active protection in a way traditional safety measures never could.
Patent Information:
The UK patent (GB2623310B) was granted in under two years, and the PCT application is filed, with a national phase deadline in April 2025. The search reports were exceptional, with no objections, proving the novelty and effectiveness of the solution.
