Neat little system. Fast and you could sell advertising on the little caps at the bottom. Not really sure how the system works as its not explained but here is the company that makes them.

QUIT GRABBING WHERE I PUT MY MOUTH

Beer spurts through the rubber beergina(tm) which is as beer-tight as a frog's a$$hole.

she keeps fillin em up, even though people stop taking them after the first couple rounds.. I'm all for efficiency at the bar, but ya still gotta pay attention to what yer doin!

Someone call the real men of genius people and tell them they just got their next song!

Where is this magic lady who brings forth beer from nothingness and doesn't charge for it? She could give Jesus and the whole water-to-wine thing a run for his money.

From their website it looks like it's a little hole on the bottom of the cup with a magnetic rim and then a magnetic "cap" that's on the inside of the cup that claps down when it gets lifted up. The cap can have a logo etc. printed on it. Kinda neat...

Yeah it looks to me like the cups are actually bottomless at the start. The lid is hidden inside the "filler"--which might be a small gimmick to either try to hide the method or make it look spiffy. Not so sure it'd actually have to be designed that exact way; could be a necessary design element though.

When she pushes one down you can notice that the "filler/holder" turns red (It's still in the glasses, afterward). There could be magnetism involved, but it seems more efficient (and a lot less expensive plus eco-friendly, unless they went to great lengths for recycling) to put a lid on via suction then clipping it into position as she takes it off. Think of it being like a fish hook or barbs (just not sharp ).

The lid is pre-positioned under top of the filler/nozzle (red barb/cap), she pushes down on the cup the filler opens (probably moving outward, while bending the cup slightly) the hole and "barbing" lid are pushed up into place via the system or just the beer's flow pressure. Then when she pulls it off it bends back and the hole is covered.

I'm guessing here, I didn't look at the site, but that's probably the type of way I'd do it.

Upper is useless now and wrong, but fun for an idea so I'll smallify it. Must remind myself to always WTFV; usually it's just RTFA.

Actually, @divurr looks completely right. The video of them pushing the cap off afterward plus the ring left (and the fact the system has "MAG" right in it) at the bottom really says magnetism is at play here (little side note: could be some sort of self adhesive as well). It looks like the cap is bent or rolled then injected after they fill it while they pull up which releases it or bends the bottom just enough to put it right in. Probably the latter. If it's a self adhesive you could then keep the cap, but with magnetism I would think they may want those back . (Like I said before: cost. With "MAG" being a throw off.)

I'll go with magnetism and a trade in system for the caps. Give them three back, they give a free drink, etc...

Can someone throw an ^engineering at this.

It's like the economy. I have no idea how it works, but.. god, I love it!

This is the pinacle of technological achievment. It's all downhill from here folks!

Bottoms up!

that's what she said

just a valve in the cup. Notice the cups have a red "thingy" in the bottom. Push cup on, opening the valve, fill from bottom, pull up valve seals and you're done.

These cups probably have like 30x the manufacturing cost of a regular plastic cup; Seems like a shit idea to me.

Looks nifty, though.

Here's a video of the empty cup showing the hole in the bottom and the magnetic souvenir plug.

Pretty cool but will probably drive up the cost of stadium beer even more if used!

...There could be magnetism involved...


That confirms my theory that this is powered by MAGIC.

As long as MAGIC stands for: PHOTON. Ta Da!!!

No really that about covers it. Although in that picture I'm unsure why they plug in "graviton" as it doesn't exist yet nor does the understanding of how the fundamental forces/mass combine (Higgs boson/ Higgs field).

Then just figure out dark matter (which could be gravitons for all we know)... Then dark energy... Etc...
