    A US inventor has come up with a fridge that throws cold cans of beer to lazy drinkers.



    John Cornwell spent £1,500 creating the Beer Launching Fridge, reports the Mirror.

    And his invention is attracting lots of interest since videos of it in action were posted on www.metacafe.com.

    The fridge is activated by a remote control which sets off a lift mechanism in the fridge.

    The lift delivers the can to an electronic catapult, which rotates until it is lined up with its thirsty target.

    It then hurls the beer up to 10ft to the drinker. It can hold a full 24-can crate - 10 beers in its magazine and 14 more in reserve.

    John, 22, who has just graduated from university in North Carolina, said: "The idea was conceived when I was sitting on the sofa having a few beers.

    "I thought, 'What if instead of me going to get the beer, the beer came to me?'

    "About three months later I have a fully automated, remote-controlled, catapulting, beer-launching mini-fridge.

    "There is a slight danger of being hit in the head with a flying can but this danger decreases the more you use it."

    Funny I would expect the opposite to be true.

    Or is it that after a few beer you stop carrying if you get hit?

    Here's an idea, plug that $60 mini-fridge in next to your sofa, you dumbass!

    I just saved you three months and £1,500.

    now... a system that runs a tube from a cold supply of beer in your fridge to you would be genius...

    dibs.

    you guys are way too critical:

    1. maybe there is no outlet near the sofa
    2. running a cord would look tacky
    3. imo, a fridge near the sofa looks tacky and/or might just get in the way
    4. a one tosser doesn't shake up the beer, apparently some of you haven't been tubing and/or tossed a friend a beer
    5. watching a game or a movie...its a lot more fun to have beers thrown at you than to go get one or reach over for one; a novelty
