USB Beverage Chiller

Here's yet another way to draw your USB current for something “useful”. The USB Beverage Chiller’s coldplate supposedly drops  all the way down to 7°C. I think it's a neat gadget, especially when you're living in an arab country (hot, hot, hot!). Read more about the USB Beverage Chiller’s coldplate.

cool, I prefer to have a fridge though  it would be cool to keep your drink cold while on the pc though, but there is no space on my desktop :(

I'm shocked, I didn't know you could draw enough power from a USB port for such a thing, and i didn't know there existed "cooler plates"... how do these work?

let's see on the site:
TEC (Thermoelectric Cooler) – a charged ceramic substrate (also called a peltier) that pumps heat from one side to another.

I dont know man... you can also try with "dry ice", that's CO2 in solid form (CO2 passes directly from solid state to gas state at normal atmospheric pressure)
Never put dry ice in a bottle, it will explode like a bomb.
