Fast Freeze

Matt — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 20:02:47 +0000

The Fast Freeze was a fully functional Prototype built as a proof of concept for our client to raise investment capital. It was designed to cool wine, beer, soda or any other round bottle to drinking temperature rapidly and also dispensed ice and cold water. He was heading to the International Home and Housewares show so we also whipped up a logo and some vinyl graphics for him.

The body of the prototype consists of brushed aluminum panels, aluminum hardware, laser cut and thermo-formed PMMA panels. The internal components included three water tight PMMA chambers, a removable sealed ball bearing rotational chilling assembly as well as a custom silicon cast duel chamber ice maker.

The prototype contains 3 pump, 1motor, 5buttons, 1 switch, 2 temperature sensors and a handful of relays. They were all controlled by 2 Arduino micro controllers. The full functionality of the Fast Freeze was coded in the Arduino development environment by Studio KMD. The code used in this project is available upon request to help advance this type of physical prototyping.
