Tired of having to leave the couch to get beer, Ryan Rusnak came up with a way to have the fridge send it to him with the push of a button.

Working with a pal he turned a fridge in a basic vending machine which dropped chilled beers — and then added a compressed air cannon, web server and iPhone interface.

Now when he wants a beer, he uses his phone to log into the fridge, picks what sort of beer he wants and fires it over to where he is sitting.
