The winter project THE FINAL FILM (all look on endpage)

[nxt1engineer]

The winter project is a beer serving machine
We are building a machine that opens a bottle of beer (two brands) , cool it at a right temperture and serve it to you.

Really cool concept, it's too bad you had to use Heineken. Will it work with real beer like Grolsch?

Its going to work with 2 types of beer Heineken and Grolsch, you have make a choice and the right beer is cooled and opened.
For cooling we going to use a Peltier element on a aluminium block and a lego temp sensor, you have to adjust the temperature, 5 -15 degrees
The biggest advent is unscrewing the bottle. its very tight.
We will see,
The date 2112 is wrong, i hope to do this faster.

Cool,

I didn't know About Peltier elements before. That's why NXT is so much fun.

Best way to open the top might be to use a rubber bottle opener like this to get a good grip - http://thumbs4.ebaystatic.com/m/m9GDdgd ... qg/140.jpg.

Or adapt it to open cans, which might be easier!

I like this development journal you are keeping. I like the fact that you're now using Grolsch instead of Heineken even more!

Great job
