The Hypercool lets your brews chill in only a minute

The heat of the summer season means beaches, barbeques and lots of brews, something the crowdfunding world has always been cognizant of with projects like the Coolest Cooler and the Kreweser. But while these offerings meant easier ways to transport food and beverages along with extra features like USB chargers and wheels, none address the age old problem of warm drinks, aka the bane of a get-together.

patent-claimedThe HYPERCOOL portable cooler address this problem using the magic of physics. It can be filled up with water, frozen overnight, and then be used to rapidly cool cans or tall boys of one’s favorite beverage. How? Using an external motor that spins the can over that bed of ice. The friction cools the beverage in just 60 seconds; wait 30 more seconds and it’ll be ice cold.

Sodavalve makes opening bottle faster, keeps fizz fresh

SodavalveIf grandma and weak women are the demographic for this item, then the subtly obnoxious focus in the video for this product certainly captures that message effectively. As for the rest of the population, Sodavalve is an item that is supposed to, apparently, make it easier to open a 2 liter of soda, and also helps to keep it carbonated for a longer period of time. It also appears that there may be two different products, a soda tab for carbonated water products in addition to the soda valve. For the family struggling with bedeviling bottles, $32 will get backers two of each, with an expected delivery of January 2015.
