JET POWERED BEER COOLER

What follows is my story about a shed, a warm beer and a home made jet engine. It is being presented for entertainment purposes only and no-one should attempt to emulate what I have done here. The risks should be obvious but it is worth pointing out that beer is a very dangerous substance when used without due care. http://www.asciimation.co.nz/beer/

A couple of years ago, I saw a picture of a Toyota MR-2 powered with two turbochargers from Caterpillar industrial engines acting as jets. The guy said he had made 85 mph with it. He's braver/more stupid (take your pick) than most people I know. Had the thing for sale on eBay.

Curiosity and cajones are the mother of invention! Remember Orville and Wilbur.

The can clearly states to serve it "extra cold".

The can clearly states it, but I’ve always found it to be better near room temperature.

Me? Never! Directions are the last resort when something doesn’t work.
