self filling mug...
ok, got hit by this idea last night, when I went to get a mug of water while talking to my wife dearest over phone...
I have a problem, which is, no mug is big enough for my thirst! I filled up my mug with water, had a long sip, filled it up again & by the time I came back to my room - the mug is half empty :( "Only if there was a way to fill up the mug with water the moment I have a sip", I thought, then it hit me, WHAM!
A silly idea, but I guess it'd be fun... How about, having the mug's body hollowed out (I guess steel mugs would be a good one for this, instead of ceramic) and have a few holes inside the mug, at strategic places... I do not know 3D Studio, or else I'd post the wireframe diagram/cut view of the construction here... when we fill it up with liquid, some will be deposited inside the mug's body & when we drink, the moment the liquid level goes down, due to lack of pressure more will come out of the body to the inside to fill up the mug - we get a few 'extra' sips than what we had expected...
Guess that's all for today... I guess couch potatoes like me would love this mug! Until next time then...
Have a great day :)
