A Reverse Microwave That Chills Your Beer in 45 Seconds

I’m sure by now you’ve seem more than your fair share of speed chillers. Don’t be over the gimmicks just yet. Meet the V-Tex.

The V-Tex uses a “start stop rotational sequence” to create a Rankine vortex that keeps the drink contents in its original state while chilling the beverage.

Think of the vortex like a hurricane. There are two things going on within it. The inner part (of the liquid) turns as a disk and in the outer part the velocity is inversely proportional to the distance from the center. Less than a minute later, that beer is cold and won’t explode.

This little piece of science makes the V-Tex work. The parent company, Enviro-Cool is planning to release commerical and home editions of the V-Tex in the near future. Cost TBA.
