  2. Introduction • Compact • Electronically Controlled • Aesthetically Pleasing • Quiet The Brumal Box is a compact, canned beverage refrigerator, incorporating qualities such as: In addition to these qualities, the design will maximize storage capacity while maintaining the compact design. Incorporating an automatic launcher has also been discussed.

  3. Purpose • Less wasted space • Reduction in cost • Chill drinks faster • Save energy To improve the design of the mini fridge to fit specific desires. Aimed at canned beverage consumers, the Brumal Box will be smaller in size, increased cooling efficiency and more visually appealing than the classic mini fridge.

  4. Refrigeration Design • Components of the Brumal Box will be similar to the mini fridge but will be shaped for our needs. • Tall and Sleek Design • Energy Efficient Dispensing • Maximized Storage Capacity • Light Weight Approximate Dimensions (inches) Height: 24 Width: 10 Depth: 12

  5. Launcher Design • Integration of a Can Launching Dispenser to the Brumal Box will provide convenience to consumers and is a viable option to incorporate into this project. Spring Launcher Catapult Launcher With different launching techniques, trials to find the most energy efficient and lowest maintenance launcher will be conducted using reduced scale prototypes.

  8. What’s inside…

  9. Problems • Inexperience • Lack of material • Funds To increase knowledge in subject, consultations with local experts have and will continue to commence. • Local Resources: • Cameron’s Appliance Repair • St.F.X. Professors • Online Advisors

  10. Marketability • Small, compacted size makes it ideal for tight living conditions. • Partnership with major beverage companies such as Pepsi and Coca-Cola. • Sleek design makes a decorative addition to dorm room
