Just the thing for Father's Day

[Godder]

A mini-fridge complete with remote-controlled beer-launcher. I'm astounded by the awesomeness of this, and also that nobody else has done it before.

There actually was an article in our local newspaper about this thing this morning. And by local newspaper I mean a paper for a small province in the Netherlands... Yay for useful inventions

Some of my friends from University looked at the specs with me.  We figured out how to build it more efficiently for about $150 less.  Stupid Engineers.

And yet your posting here instead of building it.

Stupid engineers...

Show me a video of this guy catching a beer from this contraption and then opening it without it exploding and I may be impressed enough to ignore the fact that this thing is loud and hideous.

Ok.  So I'm partially jealous.  But not that jealous.  I already have just the thing for fetching beer.  Plus, I bet I had way more fun making him.  He's five.

This is one of these things that present a professional paradox for me.

The social scientists in me says this thing is utter BS and destined to fail on more fronts than I care to explain. But on the other hand, the engineer in me is drooling.*
