Meet the latest in Beach Technology!
With the heatwave hitting North America and Western Europe, it’s time to get out of the house and hit the beach. Don’t forget to tick off the items in your checklist including sunscreen, sun glasses, a bathing suit and a good book. We can’t forget the melon, drinks, some chicken and pasta salad. Of course you will need to pack the food in your trusty cooler and throw on some ice packs to keep the items chilled.
Why do we use Technology from the 1950s?
Unfortunately, for consumers coolers were a great portable appliance 68 years ago. Invented by Richard C. Laramy in 1951, the portable ice chest was created to make life easier. However, coolers inadvertently tend to make our lives more difficult at times. Traditional coolers are made from rust-resistant stainless steel hardware or a polyethylene/polypropylene combination. Although, some companies have talked about the advancement in cooler technology (ie adding a beer opener, Thermoelectric Cooler with Power Cord) the traditional technology and corresponding problems still exist:
- The material tends to warp and it results in a bad seal (ie heat entering) on the cooler.
- They are inefficient in maintaining temperature and the ice packs become a watery mess at the bottom.
- The seals on the cooler don’t hold and the ice (water) leaks.
New Technology that is Environmentally Friendly
Our friend’s at GoSun know about the challenges of keeping your contents chilled in the cooler. Their solution is simple, get rid of the ice and keep your contents cooled by the power of the sun. The GoSun Chill is an off-grid refrigerated portable cooler that combines solar power technology with disruptive innovation and design to keep your cooler at a controlled temperature from -4°F to 68°F (-20°C to 20°C). It weighs 28 lbs (12.7 kg) and can store up to 40L capacity.
The Chill can be powered by multiple power sources. It leverages a Lithium Ion power bank to keep it cool for up to 18 hours. You can also purchase a 30 Watt Folding Solar Panel to charge the Powerbank to extend the power capacity. The power bank comes with 3 USB ports and the Solarflex 30 comes with 1 USB port. Both of these are great to top up or power up your phone, speaker or any other device.
So on your next trip to the beach, get rid of that old cooler technology and chill out with this Environmentally friendly Chill Tech. No Ice, No mess, More Space and much more fun.
