How Do You Keep a Microbrew Cold?

[Tuckerfan]

With a microfridge, of course!

Mechanical engineers at Purdue University have new findings offering promise for modifying household refrigeration technology with small devices to cool future weapons systems and computer chips.

The devices, called “micro-channel heat sinks,” circulate coolant through numerous channels about three times the width of a human hair. Such devices might be attached directly to electronic components in military lasers, microwave radar and weapons systems, as well as in future computers that will generate more heat than present computers, said Issam Mudawar, a professor of mechanical engineering who is leading the research.

Beer coolers, guys, beer coolers. You’ll make a mint on this one, trust me.

Just looking at the thread title, I was about to respond “With a refrigerator, stupid!”

I was thinking the answer was teeny tiny ice cubes.

Beer on the rocks? :eek: :eek: Ye gods, man! That’s worse than putting ketchup (or even catsup) on a hot dog! :eek:

Never on the rocks, lady!
I was picturing a cooler of Barbie size ice cubes like we used to make with Barbie’s ice trays.
