Attention Venture Capitalists…
A U.S. inventor has come up with a
fridge that throws cold cans of beer
to lazy drinkers.
John Cornwell, who spent nearly
$3,500 creating the Beer Launching Fridge, is
attracting lots of interest since videos of it in
action were posted on the Internet.
The fridge is activated by a remote control,
which sets off a lift mechanism in the fridge.
The lift delivers the can to an electronic
catapult, which rotates until it is lined up with
its thirsty target.
It then hurls the beer up to 10 feet to the
drinker. It can hold a full 24-can crate – 10
beers in its magazine and 14 more in reserve.
Cornwell, 22, who has just graduated from
university in North Carolina, said, “The idea
was conceived when I was sitting on the sofa
having a few beers. I thought, ‘What if
instead of me going to get the beer, the beer
came to me?’”
“There is a slight danger of being hit in the
head with a flying can but this danger
decreases the more you use it,” he noted.
