Warm beer got you down? If only there were a more efficient way to chill your beer without having to wait …enter Spin Chill.
Ty Parker and Trevor Abbott, a pair of young mechanical engineers, were looking for a way to alleviate warm beer syndrome when they were inspired to use their knowledge of “heat transfer and love of cold beers” to develop a prototype for their invention, Spin Chill. Originally introduced as a project on Kickstarter the invention raised over double it’s original goal and still has five days left to go
.The idea behind this genius innovation was that “by spinning a beer in ice it increases the rate of heat transfer through convection”. Basically in non-sciency talk this means spinning your beer cools it down faster but by popping a beer say on a specially designed “Chill Bit” drill bit, a greater speed can be achieved resulting in an icy cold beer in mere minutes. Sorcery!
Chill Bit prototypes were developed for both bottles and cans with the same result in mind, a frosty beer without any of the waiting. But wait, it gets better. These guys also decided to make this even easier for people by creating the “Beerouette”.
