thats a pretty cool idea, although it looks like it can only fit one can in it? :O I guess going to the fridge would be just as quick :P
I imagine it'd take upwards of 8 hours to chill a single drink, not only will it be poorly insulated but there isn't all that much juice you can push down a USB cable.
yeah this is true! by the time the 8 hours is up I could have walked into the kitchen and gotten a can like 200000 times :(Quote:

I do get through quite a few cans of coca cola a day :$Quote:

I'd also have more important things to do if I had the ability to retrieve 6.94 cans per second from a kitchen.Quote:

The voltage is mostly irrelevant, the wattage is what is important.Quote:

well 2.5-4.5
most stuff are ~500mA
Could ram it open next to a fan intake on a computer for additional cooling.
But yeah. 4.5W ain't gonna do much.
It's not meant to be taken seriously, if anything it's more of a novelty thing.

Normally stuff like this will break down in a short time if you use them too frequent
especially those from China
lol i think it looks quite neat
My friend got me one of those fridges for my birthday last year lol
they work but they're not great ;)
I used to have one of these when I was younger, wasn't that brilliant thou..
Aw, I think it'd be cute to have it, but then you wouldn't be able to put it back in there if you opened up the can.
