Man Invents Levitating Cocktail Machine, Get Drunk off Four Drops

Levitating-Cocktail-Machine

Charlie Francis, a Bristol inventor, is embracing the future of alcohol. Francis, together with the help of Bristol University Professor Bruce Drinkwater, have created a machine that levitates cocktails. Obviously they did this because the thought of lifting a glass and tilting it ever so slightly is barbaric in this world of tomorrow we live in.

The machine suspends tiny droplets of potent alcohol in mid-air using immense supersonic sound waves. Together, it creates a levitating field in which the alcoholic droplets float. The Levitron costs roughly £30,000 ($48,000 US). It produces ultrasonic sound waves set at a frequency undetectable to the human ear. Because who’d want to have a noise machine at a cocktail party?

So far, Francis has created a levitating gin and tonic at 70 percent proof and a levitating Bloody Mary at 160 percent proof. Francis says that because the quantity of liquid used is so small, the alcohol has to be extremely potent. One could easily get drunk off four droplets.

Francis runs Lick Me I’m Delicious, a company that is also known for their glow-in-the-dark ice cream.
