By
now we must be aware of the power of Crowdsourcing to fund virtually any
creative venture that most people have always desired to do but just never had the money.
If your idea captures the imagination of many like-minded souls out there,
they’ll give your money to fund your idea as explained in my blog
article entitled “Minister
of Health calls for Public Support for ban on Smoking in Public Spaces - How to
kill mosquitoes using a Carbon Dioxide Generator Mosquito Trap”.
This
is the premise behind iSupportJamaica,
Jamaica’s first crowd-funding Website as was reported in my blog
article entitled “JN
Foundation and JNSBL launches Jamaica's first Crowdfunding website, i Support
Jamaica - Local Crowdfunding to the rescue of Jamaican Innovators so you don't
have to be The Lone Ranger”.
This
time another IndieGogo Project has caught my eye: The VacuVita
Vacuum Food Sealer as stated in the article “STOP
WASTING FOOD AND SAVE THEM IN THIS VACUUM PICNIC BASKET FROM THE FUTURE”,
published July 18, 2013 By Natt Garun, Digital Trends
which promises to make Vacuum Sealing foods as easy as putting them in an
airtight Vacuum sealing container.
The
IndieGogo funded VacuVita
Vacuum Food Sealer, has passed its initial target of
US$75,000 and has reached up to US$281,487 with just five (5) days to go before
the funding run close. Check out this interesting and informative video on the VacuVita
Vacuum Food Sealer
Vacuum Sealing of Food
– Quick Primer on a rapidly Expanding Trend
Vacuum
Sealing is now the latest trend in Food Storage. Like the SodaStream Soda Maker
as describe in my blog article entitled SodaStream
At-Home SodaStream Fountain Jet triumphs against Coca-Cola and Pepsi - Fizzy
Shakeup coming in the Soda Market as it's obvious that John Dies in the End
is set to revolutionize the Packaged Goods and Food Industry. This as it’s
giving regular homeowners the power to make ordinary non-processed foods last
longer without the need for Chemical Preservatives.
This
as by removing air from the bag, it makes perishable foods last longer as there
is no oxygen or moisture in container with the food that would encourage
bacterial, enzyme or oxidative reactions that cause food to spoil. In addition
it makes absorption of fluids by certain foods e.g. raisins soaked in rum or
chicken soaked in sauces, occur faster as stated in “Vacuum Packaging”,
viewed 27 of July 2013 by Lindsworth Deer, Fantes.
The
vacuum Sealing is akin to that found in Outer Space and the food in these
Vacuum Sealed containers behave in a likewise manner in the absence of Air and
Air Pressure. This list of advantages of Vacuum Sealing ability to remove Air,
Moisture, and Oxygen and thus air Pressure is best explained in this list:
1.
Clothing e.g. wool sweaters
can be shrunken to occupy minimal storage space and thus keep bugs away
2.
Dry, solid foods, such as
brown sugar, won't become hard
3.
Food can be purchased in
lower-priced bulk quantities and re-packaged at home into smaller portions.
4.
Foods maintain their
freshness and flavor 3-5 times longer than with conventional storage methods
5.
Foods maintain their texture
and appearance
6.
Foods that are high in fats
and oils won't become rancid
7.
Freezer burn is eliminated,
because foods no longer become dehydrated from contact with cold, dry air.
8.
Insect infestation is
eliminated
9.
Meat and fish will marinade
in minutes when vacuum packaged in canisters
10. Moist foods won't dry out, because there's no air to absorb the
moisture from the food.
11. Non-food items are protected from corrosion and moisture-damage
e.g. antique silverware
12. Reduced Food Bills because food lasts longer so less spoiled food
will need to be thrown away
The
premise is fairly simple; the food or other items are placed in a container,
usually a Polythene Bag and the air is removed to make it airtight using one of
three (3) types of vacuum technologies:
1. Manually
Operated Vacuums
2. Fan-based
Bag Sealers
3. Electric
Vacuum Pump
Manually
Operated Vacuums uses a hand-cranked pump, like a bicycle pump and albeit they
work, they don’t guarantee a perfect vacuum. Fan-based Bag Sealers are noisy
don’t even work; they remove some air but some is left in the bag and are no
more effective than placing food in Tupperware.
The
VacuVita
Vacuum Food Sealer belongs to the third more expensive
class as can seen from examples of Vacuum Sealers on Best
Buy
and Amazon
and provide far better Vacuum Sealing, but are usually priced out of the reach
of ordinary folk. The VacuVita
Vacuum Food Sealer is priced at an affordable US$199 with
varying prices for the various sizes.
So
you have limited time to get in on the action and have your very own VacuVita
Vacuum Food Sealer for only US$99, with the regular priced
being set at US$199 as shown below:
The
VacuVita
Vacuum Food Sealer is an electrically powered device that
comes with a larger main unit called a VacuVita and smaller units called Covero
that connect to the bigger unit via a tube , thereby providing vacuum to these
other containers. An electrically powered unit, it comes in five (5) nice
colours I’ve never heard of:
1. Caviar
Black
2. Pearl
white
3. Oval
Room Blue
4. Royal
Dutch Orange
5. Taggiasco
Olive Green
VacuVita taps into Vacuum
Sealing and empowers Organic Food Movement
The last IndieGogo Project I thought was worthwhile enough to write about was the Ontario Canada-based Mind Controller startup Interaxion and their latest Bluetooth-connected Mind Controller, the Muse as described in my blog article entitled “IndieGogo funded Interaxion debut US$199 Muse Mind Controller at Le Web in France - Future Silver Lining Playbook for Gaming that'll Exercise the Windmills of Your Mind”.

It
was one of IBM (International Business Machines)
top Five Future Trends for the next five (5) years as prognosticated in my Geezam
Blog article entitled “IBM’s advent of Mind Reading as Samsung patents
Astral Projection Tech as the next Big Thing” and I’m expecting big
things from this company and the trend they’ve helped to start towards
Mind-Controller Peripherals. The potential is huge as it relates to helping the
disabled and persons in situations where they may be unable to interact via
even using gestures with computers.
So here’s to yet another IndieGogo project that’s riding on
the popularity of a trend that’ll save you on frequent trips to the
Supermarket. It also makes going Organic easy, as you can make ordinary food
and clothing items last as long as items preserved by chemical means. VacuVita
Vacuum Food Sealer means that We Can’t Stop, Miley
Cyrus Style Eating Organic Food.
