Cooling beer

[Fyodor]

As long as the beer isn't muddy, too...

well... why should it be?

Why bother about a dirty can? As long as the beer is ok?

I've had Hungarian beer. The only thing explaining the taste is that the can must have contained mud.

That beer-cooling apparate is excellent

 

[Fyodor]

I never tried to build it, its not self powered, a disadvantage I'm not going to accept at a festival. But "Unregistered2" got an idea, that I'm on to. He sugested to build a reverse Sterling-engine and use it as a cooling device. This device is perfectly suited for that purpose. I am nearly finished designing such a machine. My unsolved problems are the input of torque (windpropelled or photovoltaik ... I don't know) an to actual manufacture it. But when its finished, I got a lightweight independant fridge!

And you can sell those things over the net and become richer than Bill Gates

in 2003 someone in the forum camp has a small generator-powered cooler

in Australia they're selling small unit to run off the car lighter, but it's too expensive for me to bring my car to Wacken

I suppose that was Edi? He has that great gas or whatever powered cooler

they are selling them here, too... but nearly nobody has enough space in the car for them. Besides we are afraid the car battery power will be too low after you´ve been running such a thing for 4 days - I do not really trust them

Those things work perfectly, I have one of those by my own. But they drain the battery at a very high rate. You really shouldn't use them with the engine turned off. After maybe two or three hours the battery wouldn't be able to start the engine any more. I allready tested that .

another good trick to keep your drinks cold is this:
Put all drinks which are in TetraPaks in the freezer - you can use them as big freezer packs then. And believe me, it takes some time until an 1,5 Liter Tetra Pak is defrosted!
