just for the record, this if fort wayne, in i'm talkin about.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/26/the-usb-beverage-chiller/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/26/the-usb-beverage-chiller/Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/26/the-usb-beverage-chiller/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/26/the-usb-beverage-chiller/
I'm probably forgetting a semester worth of thermodynamics here, but would powering this cold plate from the 360 negate the cooling?]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/26/the-usb-beverage-chiller/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/26/the-usb-beverage-chiller/
Speaking of which, I really should find my high-school notes where I cooked up a version of String Theory completely on my own. Too late to get a Nobel Prize y'think?]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/26/the-usb-beverage-chiller/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/26/the-usb-beverage-chiller/Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/26/the-usb-beverage-chiller/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/26/the-usb-beverage-chiller/I know, i showed my brother, because i told him this idea first, and he said that i shoulda patented that thing a long time ago. He said that this is pretty much how he pictured it. Damn!]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/26/the-usb-beverage-chiller/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/26/the-usb-beverage-chiller/Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/26/the-usb-beverage-chiller/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/26/the-usb-beverage-chiller/
#1. Thank god I'm not there, mostly for the shorts comment ;). No, I can't stand the heat, Michigan is all snowy right now, I love it, once it gets thick enough I intend to leap in and roll in it right in front of the highway, just to scare people.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/26/the-usb-beverage-chiller/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/26/the-usb-beverage-chiller/
Seriously though, don't these guys remember high-school physics? There is a reason that when you buy cold food at the store, they tape the ice pack to the TOP of the pack, not the BOTTOM.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/26/the-usb-beverage-chiller/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/26/the-usb-beverage-chiller/
Nice idea really, but until they find something more efficient than a peltier, the technology is no more than a novelty. And considering it's being powered by at most +5v (which I'd estimate draws up to 830mA) the peltier's ability to pump heat will be severely reduced. File this one in with the battery powered nose hair trimmer and electric tie christmas gift ideas.
