A lightweight portable refrigerator that is around the size of a regular backpack, runs on a battery, and is easily affordable to the average household.
What sort of gadget (that seems technically feasible) do you think the world should have come up with already?
Why do you think there would be demand for this? Are you literally talking about something that you could comfortably carry for longer distances on your back? Or something more like a cooler box that actively cools?
One of them was probably 3 feet tall, with a single long resistance coil going the full length, and all recessed into 50-year old drywall. It was scary at the time, and terrifying in retrospect, but when you’ve just got out of the shower having that much heat radiate directly onto your body definitely feels luxurious.
I love the concept of inventions that were both transformative, and behind the times. Think of wheeled luggage. How long were we using those stupid dog on a leash designed suitcases before someone figured out to put the damn wheels on the luggage itself. There’s gotta be something else like that out there waiting to be invented.
