He Made His Own Beer-Tossing Fridge

He Made His Own Beer-Tossing Fridge AG WORLD Ag World If you ever wished you didn t have to get up from your comfy chair to get a can of pop or beer you ll like John Cornwall s beer-tossing fridge
    A recent engineering graduate of Duke University Cornwell s modified mini-fridge uses a remote control to launch cold aluminum-canned drinks up to 10 ft with perfect aim every time It holds 10 cans in its magazine with 14 more in reserve
     It took me about 150 hours of fine tuning and $400 in parts to build this unit he says
    It s a 2-step process One click of the remote activates a small elevator that lifts one can at a time through a hole in the top of the fridge and loads it into a catapult arm A second click fires the can through the air
    The catapult can be angled to shoot cans to different parts of the room
    Cornwell says you need to gently cradle the can as you catch it in order to avoid a foam explosion when you open it
     It works well I launched a couple of 24-can cases for a party I had with no problems
    An online video that shows the unit in action has been viewed by people more than 1 400 000 times The copyrighted video is located on www beerlauncher com and has earned Cornwell more than $7 000 in web advertising revenue
