I am one of those types of people who have a multitude of ideas, but lack the know-how to truly implement them. Years ago, I realized that we have machines called microwaves that can make things hot in a short amount of time, but we do not have devices that can make things cold within that short period of time.
I then had the idea of the anti-microwave, which I christened “The Frostulator”. To this day, I cannot think of a better name than that, but even without the fancy name, this invention would sell by concept alone. After all, who doesn’t need something that needs to made cold from time to time.
Especially when it comes to soda. I can’t stand it when I forget to put a few cans in the fridge, and I get totally thirsty. Nothing is worse than warm cola. When I want soda, it’s got to be so cold it burns down the throat. I think you know what I mean. It takes four hours to chill a soda can to optimum coolness of refreshment, but I don’t want to wait that long.
Since it looks like it’s going to be a while before someone invents the Frostulator, I have discovered two inventions that can cool my soda, as well as other things. The first is the Tinchilla, a little box that uses thermal conduction to cool down a soda can in just sixty seconds. All the Tinchilla needs is two AA batteries and ice. You put the can in the Tinchilla, and the machine spins it in a bath of ice cubes. You may be thinking that a minute of spinning will only create a can that sprays when you crack it open, but this is not the case. Instead, the spinning causes all the liquid creates a whirlpool effect inside and transfers the heat inside to the chilled ice outside of the can. When all the liquid inside the can comes into contact with the chilled metal outside, you have a cold soda!
There is also another device that can chill your pop cans, and it is also made to do wine bottles as well. The Copper Cooler uses the same principles of theremal conduction found in the Tinchilla, and spins your bottle or can within a interior of ice cubes. You can also set it for a non-spinning chiller, and the Copper Cooler will automatically stop when your drink is at the ideal temperature. The Copper Cooler also allows you the option of warming cold drinks, which comes in handy for parents who need to quickly warm baby formula, for example. Unlike the Tinchilla, the Copper Cooper comes in three versions: white, silver, and the Tailgator, which includes a 120V plug and 12V car lighter plug for chilling on the road.
Well, it looks like my cool soda can problem is taken care of. However, if anyone reading this wants to develop the Frostulator, please feel free. I could use something that can turn water into ice in under a minute. Just send me a share of the profits, please.
