Keep Your Kegs Kool
An egghead larva at CWRU has potentially made many sports fans very, very happy indeed.
Adam Hunnell, a first-year student in Case's Physics Entrepreneurship Program has conceived the Keg Wrap, a portable method for keeping beer kegs cold indefinitely.
He has received a $20,000 grant from the National Collegiate Inventors and Innovators Alliance (NCIIA) to build a prototype.
Hunnell's idea is to design a wrap, made of nylon or a similar material, using thermoelectrics. The wrap will be cold enough to keep a keg at between 32 and 35 degrees Fahrenheit. It can be powered by a conventional electrical outlet or an automobile's cigarette lighter.
Now that's money well spent.

This really cool. How does a thermoelectric wrap work?
Call me nuts but I think the world really does need a keg that can keep itself cold.

B- can I get one in time for Flipside? Right now we're looking at 6 bags of ice per day for a single keg. At 3 kegs on a 4 day weekend, that's quite a lot of ice runs.
