Cool Gadget For Warm weather

Filed in archive Gadgets on March 21, 2007

Now the temperatures are getting higher, this gadget will become more and more attractive: an easy and fast way to enjoy a cool soda, anytime you want to.

Forgot to put your sodas in the fridge? Just got home from the market? No problem, Tinchilla will chill your can in a heart beat.

The Tinchilla can chill a regular soda can from room temperature to frosty cold in 60 seconds!

How it works?

"The Tinchilla is a simple device which utilizes the scientific principle of thermal conduction. By spinning the can at an optimized speed the metal of the can is rapidly chilled by exposing its surface to the ice cubes and water surrounding it. The spinning can is also given a slight wobble resulting in a whirlpool effect inside. This whirpool allows as much of the drink as possible to be exposed to the now chilled surface of the can thus rapidly transferring the heat from inside to the surrounding water and ice.

In just 60 seconds nearly all of the liquid inside the can will have come into contact with the chilled metal and is therefore substantially cooled. Best of all, in spite of all that jiggling about, you can open it straight away without any spraying or frothing!

The Tinchilla runs on just two AA batteries and a handful of ice. To use just place your unopened can into the Tinchilla with a few ice cubes, switch on, leave for sixty seconds and you will have a delightfully cold serving of your favourite beverage. Works with most regular size soda cans."
