Microfridge keeps a single can cold, looks like crazy science

This is the kind of device I would think to find in the Delorean from Back to the Future. Christopher Lloyd would look all crazy-eyed at you and say something like “They weren’t counting on this little puppy!”

“What is it, a tactical nuke?” I’d ask, ever thinking of Starship Troopers. “Even better,” he’d say, eyes crazier than ever, “I went back to 1998 and got a can of Josta!”

fjk272kfyntaf6pI don’t really have a fitting end to this story, but now I want some Josta. As for the fridge, it’s actually not as effective as it looks:

It has 3 peltier coolers enclosed is a 4 inch diameter pvc T joint. It’s powered (underpowered by about 120 watts) by a 55 watt 5 volt power supply…It cooled the inside down to 68 F when it was 96 F outside. I took it inside and it cooled down to 46 F.

I mean, it’s better than anything I could have made, but buddy, you don’t drink Josta cool — you drink it ice cold.

    There's no use to stress: your eyes aren't deceiving you, and the year most probably isn't 2015. Still, that's not stopping Mattel from teasing the enduring hoverboard on the Ny Toy Fair. First made famous by Marty McFly in Back to the longer term Part II, the product became something of Hollywood lore when the movie's director, Robert Zemeckis, insisted the contraption was real.
