Current Technology Mini Fridge • effectively holds and cools beverages • unattractive • inefficient • not customizable
Current Technology Pez Dispenser • dispenses candy using spring • variety of fun “heads” • too small • not refrigerated
Current Technology World’s Largest Pez Dispenser • 7’10” • dispenses capsules which can hold 6480 Pez candies or a standard Pez dispenser
(Head) Solution Beverage Can Dispenser • holds, refrigerates, and dispenses twelve 12 oz. cans • maintains beverages at 40ºF or less • easy to load and operate • plugs into wall outlet • fun and customizable
Expected Challenges • Mechanism to support, raise, and dispense cans one at a time • Refrigeration • Supporting structure and insulation
Planned Approach Spring-Loaded Dispenser - Alternatively, use counterweight or ratchet and escapement system Peltier Cooler • electric power generates a temperature difference, maximum range: 70ºC Custom Insulated Structure
