My Invention
    #11509121 - 11/23/09 06:15 AM (14 years, 3 months ago)

Right my question to you is wether this is already a product that can be bought....
I thought up of the idea that in a drinking straw you had an extra casing around it which was filled with water. The straw would be kept in the freezer so the water around the straw would be frozen and so when you have a drink through it, it would make the drink cold?
  If it isnt a product already, is it a good idea?

Yeah had a decent look online and there has been no sign of anything like that out there, Just wandering would it actually be strong enough to cool the drink as it goes up the straw?

The ice would melt super-fast, no?

If you have a really thin layer of ice and you are keeping it surrounded by a warmer temperature liquid then that ice is going to melt really fast and the liquid in the straw is going to reach equilibrium with the outside liquid.

You are probebly right there, so for it to work the liquid would have to be cold in the first place wich would mean there is no point in the straw.
I think it might be worth making a prototype and testing the bitch out!!

you could make a corkscrew design to maximizes the amount of time the liquid spends in the straw.

I see another problem though. they make cups similar in design to this. When using these cups I've noticed a thin layer of ice forms on the sides of the cup. In a straw this may render the straw unusable.

Experiment all you want, but I bet you're not going to make this into a realistically functional prototype. You have two problems:
1. Heat transfer between the liquid to be consumed and the coolant; read up on heat exchangers and laminar and turbulent flows.
2. Finding a coolant with sufficient cooling capacity.
Right off the bat, I fear you'll end up with a yard-long spiral cooled with liquid helium in order to produce the desired effect. Of course, although this thing may technically work, getting the ergonomics and economics right may involve some tinkering :wink:

The fire has many things to teach.
But so does the human experience.. which is like fire, sometimes you just need to stoke the coals and sometimes you just need to add a log or reposition the log matrix. But a well built fire will be much more self-sustaining than a poorly built one, and they all need love to grow. And don't fuck around or your might burn yourself. Must always respect the fire. - Shroomism

i'd think your lips would get too cold. it'd probly be uncomfortable.
