Hack your fridge
Published by maus February 25th, 2007 in HacksJohn W. Cornwell writes from his project website,
Have you ever gotten up off the couch to get a beer for the umpteenth time and thought, “What if instead of ME going to get the BEER, the BEER came to ME???” Well, that was how I first conceived of the beer launching fridge. About 3 months and several hundred dollars later I have a fully automated, remote controlled, catapulting, man-pit approved, beer launching mini-fridge. It holds 10 beers in its magazine with 14 more in reserve to store a full case. It is controlled by a keyless entry system. Pressing unlock will start the catapult rotating and when it is aiming at your target, pressing unlock again will stop it. Then the lock button can be pressed to launch a beer in the selected direction.

Maus notes,
I don’t drink pop or beer anymore. I do get those crazy, fruity-jelly drinks from the International District. Bonus: They’re not carbonated. So when a launched drink lands in my hand, I won’t be opening an exploding can.
