Keeping Your Keg Cool Sans Ice

Posted by michael on from the technology-you-can-use dept.

DrLudicrous writes "Case Western Reserve University is reporting that first year physics graduate student Adam Hunnell has come up with the idea for a Keg Wrap, a thermoelectric sheet that will be able to maintain a full keg at 32-35F by running off of wall current or even a car's cigarette lighter. The funding for this project is coming from the National Collegiate Inventors and Innovators Alliance, which has provided Mr. Hunnell with a $20,000 grant. Serious stuff - I'd rather see this than another few million dumped into quantum computing."

    You probably don't belong on this site if you think keeping beer cold is cooler (no pun intended) or more important than quantuum computing! You're an idiot.

      ahhh yes, but will quantuum computing keep my beer cold?

      Obviously at least one editor and a fair amount of active SlashDot community members disagrees with you.

      What's more sad, the fact that many of us have suffered ourselves to a warm beer, or that you think Quantum Physics is 'cool'? Interesting or Useful, sure, but not 'cool'.

    In sensible countries, when you get to university you can drink in the pub like civilised human beings. Much better choice of drink, too.

    Cambridge Uni has more than 25 bars...
