Tempratech Self-Cooling Can

Posted by michael on from the grab-a-cold-one dept.

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.'"

    No that would be -1.1 C

    Actually, not only does 30F not equal 16.66C NOT in the US, but is does not equal 16.66C NOT NOT in the US as well. This might really bake your noodle, but 32F = 0C both NOT in the US and NOT NOT in the US (or in the US, depending on how you look at it); the conversion is the same irrespective of location.
