Portable beverage can cooler

Abstract

The reason to make a portable beverage can cooler is that all the other products in the market are heavy, expensive and all use electricity from the wall plugs. Also regular refrigerators take a long time to properly cool a beverage can. So it was decided to make a portable beverage can cooler which can keep a beer cool during outdoor activities like picnics, hiking etc. More so, since it will be portable it will be smaller and therefore cheaper. The main user group targeted with this product (PBCC) is people interested in outdoor activities, like picnics, camping, festivals, cyclists etc. This product can also be useful for people working in places without refrigerator. How to create a beverage can cooler which can be carried along since it stores energy. Since a regular refrigerator takes over an hour to cool a beverage from room temperature, the product should be able to cool a can in less than twenty minutes. Without the cans it should weigh less than 5 kg and still be affordable; also it could cool a maximum of four cans at a time. The purpose of this project was to create a product which helps people in their everyday lives by cooling beverages quickly.
