Forget going to the gym to save the environment. If you’ve got the equipment, why not put it to good use by modding an exercise bike to chill and heat stuff simultaneously for your own benefit? This guy did it and now look at him, he’s shredding pounds and chilling beers.

That’s right, the integrated pair of copper wires that are connected to the whole pedal assembly can both chill or heat a refreshing beverage. In the morning, both coffee and beer are a great refreshment during routine exercise. So why not drink both simultaneously? It’d be like drinking Sparks without that Robitussin taste in your mouth.

When I’m headed to the beach, I’m usually carrying a heavy ass cooler full of beer. The problem is, I’m always going alone, all by myself. At first, it might not seem like that big of deal, but then it strikes me: who can I find to carry my stereo?

A question that haunts me no more, thanks to Boomcooler. This $900 dollar appliance is a portable stereo system and cooler. It’s no pushover stereo either, with two Sony Xplod speakers, an 1100 watt subwoofer, this cooler is bumpin’. It’s a damn shame only dry cooling is recommended. Dumping a bucket full of ice into this thing will certainly end the party prematurely.

When the volume of a gas decreases at a maintained pressure, the temperature of the remaining gas falls. Such is the law the defines the concept behind the Jet Engine-powered Beer Cooler. Using a LPG cylinder and a jet engine to cool his favorite brew, the designer of the beer cooler is never without an icy cold one.

If you can get your hands on the beer pouring robot, you have the makings of a BBQ of epic proportions, and a side-note to the manliest of the bots. All we need now is a robot to properly later our ribs in sauce. — Andrew Dobrow

The SARS panic might be years behind us, at least as far as pandemics go, but face masks are making a come back. I’m telling you. Don’t believe me? Check out this Cooling Face Mask from Thanko. Powered right from your USB port, the mask gives you 51-inches of breathing room. Go any further and you’ll be dragging your computer with you.

A built-in fan acts as an exhaust system for your face, filtering out heat, fumes, the stench of Grandpa’s bowel movement, and also protecting you from any deadly outbreaks of bird flu. You can get your own for around $25. — Andrew Dobrow
