Great Moments in Invention

At a time when many (including PFF) say the patent system is rewarding too many inventions that are not truly useful or novel, it is good to see true creativity prospering.

Thus the WSJ today (subscription required), tells of TurboTap, which fills a pint beer glass in only 2.5 seconds (instead of 8 for the conventional method), and with only a half inch of foam.

The vital hydration needs of America's ballparks and colleges will be met! For a truly moving experience, if you're a beer drinker, watch the device whip out four glasses of Guiness.
