  • What WILL they think of NEXT?!?

    The most ridiculous product on the market I've seen lately is a beverage bladder disguised as a gut, for sneaking drinks into places you aren't supposed to... The Beerbelly.

      I know ya'll think it is ridiculous but i would so buy one of those beerbelly's. Could you imagine having your alcohol beverage (at the correct rung of course) every where you go.

                    Can you just imagine the carrying capacity of an entire set, the belly & boobs in front, buttocks in back? Your proportions would be more appropriate, and you wouldn't need a pad for the hard bleachers. ROFL

                          Tracie - don't forget, there's an alcohol rung. You could also use that thing for water, or other carb-free beverages....


                          I really like the boob-bladder idea. LOL I've used my bra to smuggle ...er ...carry things before. It frees up your hands.

                            Beer Launching Fridge video http://www.metacafe.com/watch/445498..._refrigerator/
                            Duke University Electrical and Computer Engineering/Computer Science graduate John W Cornwall seems to rejoice in building interesting contraptions but his latest just could be a killer app. He has designed a fridge that gets the beer for you. His beer launching fridge took “about 3 months and several hundred dollars” to build, resulting in the world’s first fully automated, remote controlled, beer-launching mini-fridge. With a “magazine” of 10 cans, his first fridge was controlled by a keyless entry system. Such was the response to a video of the catapulting fridge, there’s now a good chance the fridge will go into limited edition production with a price tag of US$1500.



                            Version 2.0 of the launcher will have a few improvements including its own purpose-built remote control so you can rotate it to the direction of your choise and select one of ten programmable angles and the magazine capacity (mini-fridge size) will be closer to 20 beers. The distance will be adjustable manually so you can dial in the perfect throw to your position on the couch, and repeat it every time.
                            http://www.gizmag.com/go/6963/

                            3/06/07: I have decided that there might be a large enough interest to produce a limited number of beer launching fridges. If I was to manufacture them I would have all of the parts professionally machined for a much cleaner look (although it would still have exposed motors, gears, etc). The price would be around $1500, although the launcher would have a few improvements. The new launcher would use something similar to a miniature TV remote. It would have buttons to rotate it left, right, fire, and also have 0-9 be programmable angles. I would use a slightly larger mini-fridge so that the magazine would be closer to 20 beers. The distance will be adjustable manually to get the right couch distance, but will not be adjustable with the remote. Please email me if you would be interested in purchasing one at that price.

                            2/28/07: If you watched the beer launcher video on any site other than www.metacafe.com, I would really appreciate it if you clicked on my video link and watched the video there. Metacafe is the only site that has a license to show my copyrighted video and it is the only site I get paid for ad revenue. Thanks and I hope you enjoy the BLF!!!

                            Have you ever gotten up off the couch to get a beer for the umpteenth time and thought, "What if instead of ME going to get the BEER, the BEER came to ME???" Well, that was how I first conceived of the beer launching fridge. About 3 months and several hundred dollars later I have a fully automated, remote controlled, catapulting, man-pit approved, beer launching mini-fridge. It holds 10 beers in its magazine with 14 more in reserve to store a full case. It is controlled by a keyless entry system. Pressing unlock will start the catapult rotating and when it is aiming at your target, pressing unlock again will stop it. Then the lock button can be pressed to launch a beer in the selected direction.

                            Almost all of the raw materials for the refrigerator were purchased from McMaster-Carr, some motors came from Jameco, and the switches/potentiometer were purchased at RadioShack. In total the beer launching refrigerator uses 3 limit switches. Two of which are triggered when the elevator reaches the top or bottom of its travel, and one is triggered when the catapult arm is fully cocked. I also have a potentiometer that is connected to the rotating catapult platform. The voltage across the potentiometer is read by the microcontroller to sense the angle of the catapult platform. http://www.duke.edu/~jwc13/beerlauncher.html
