Tempratech Self-Cooling Can

r.future writes "I saw on Gizmodo that a company called Tempratech has created an 100% safe and environmentally friendly aluminum can that uses a self-chilling process involving a cooling gel, desiccant, and heat sinks, to chill itself. The self-contained I.C. Can is the approximate size of a 500 mL beverage can. This includes the beverage container itself, and the integral self-chilling device, and according to Tempratech the can is 'proven to lower beverage temp by a minimum of 30 degrees Fahrenheit in only three minutes.'"

    From the address, I think that Tempratech must be located in one of the dinky little industrial parks that dominate that part of town.

    Well, its being continued in The Last Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, and the first volume (of four) comes out on 14 October 2004! Read an excerpt here

    I've submitted this twice, but the powers-that-be aren't well-read enough to recognise it as newsworthy.
