PeltierBeer

    When I first saw this, I thought it was some sort of super-innovative solid-state cooling device that keeps beer cold, however, then I found out that it was just a heatsink and fan...

    Sure, the solution that I mentioned would be more than just "spare parts lying around" but that would be innovation. Someone tell me when they make one of those.

    How about actually reading the articles text as well as looking at the pictures. Its not like there were mountains of text to wade through.

    It's using a Peltier as well as the heatsink & fan. The Peltier will transfer heat from one side to the other. You put the beer on the cold side and the heatsink on the other.

    Whether or not it would actually be effective is another question.
