Abstract
A temperature regulating mechanism is attached inside the bottle. The temperature regulating mechanism may include phase change material. The temperature regulating mechanism may maintain a liquid (e.g. Vodka) stored in the bottle at a substantially consistent temperature (e.g. approximately 10 degrees Celsius) for a reasonable period of time.
Claims12
An apparatus comprising:
- a container configured to house vodka;
- and
- a temperature regulating mechanism attached inside the container,
- wherein the temperature regulating mechanism comprises an elongated member with an approximate shape of a cylinder and comprises phase change material, the phase change material configured to allow for micro encapsulation and for a customized melt/freeze point at which the phase change material changes phase,
- wherein the temperature regulating mechanism is configured to maintain the vodka at a predetermined temperature below room temperature at approximately 10 degrees Celsius and for approximately 1.5 hours throughout a forward phase change and a reverse phase change of the phase change material inside the container,
- wherein the forward phase change comprises a change from a first phase to a second phase,
- wherein the reverse phase change comprises a change from the second phase to the first phase,
- wherein either the first phase is a liquid phase and the second phase is a solid phase or the first phase is a solid phase and the second phase is a liquid phase,
- wherein the forward phase change and the reverse phase change occurs at approximately the predetermined temperature.
