Beer Launching Fridge

This is just too cool.

I wonder if it could be replicated just using the pictures and description on his site.....

I would have built it as one of those tube delivery systems. The can would be in one of those "pigs"(canisters that money goes in) that are sent along the line, except in my version it would be lunched with a lot more force and fire out of the end. This way if the drink had a hard landing the can inside would be cushoned by the foam in the "pig". It would also mean that the "pig" would contain any blast if the drink blew up. Or you could just run the plastic air tube allong the floor and eliminate all chances of smashed TV's and concussions. Just my 2 cents.

My boss came in after lunch and asked me if I'd seen this. He said he heard about it on Paul Harvey's radio show.

From watching the video, it looks like if you caught the can carefully, there would be almost no shaking. The steady acceleration from the catapult would not shake it up much, so the only thing doing the shaking would be the catcher. But I'd still open it pointing toward YOU instead of me!

Almost as cool as the rubber floor.
