Duracell Battery Coffee Thermos Container
I post lots of ideas, but once in a while I am shocked - shocked - that a particular item doesn’t already exist. Case in point: this thermos/beverage container fashioned after a Duracell coppertop. Considering our dependency on coffee as a source of energy, it makes perfect sense. Plus the design of the battery resembles your typical thermos.
It might look a little alarming to a passerby to see someone open a giant battery and casually drink its contents, but that is part of the charm. I can also envision people asking to be ‘recharged’ when they fill this up at a Dunkin’ Donuts/Tim Hortons.
This design would only work with Duracell batteries as they are iconic. Plus the coppertop makes for the perfect partition between the cup and container.
One thing I couldn’t get my head around was that protruding contact at the top of the battery, because the cup needed to sit flat. So I just designed the contact to sink into a cavity when the cup is sitting on a surface. There would be a spring inside to keep the contact outward, to maintain the appearance of a battery when the cup is screwed on.

Nice… I can’t wait for someone to try and put these in a giant flashlight.
Cool Idea!
I’d like to have one of those!
This is pretty cool! I know it’s a big advertisement for Duracell, but still. I want one!
Yeah it is a billboard, but I think the humor is more apparent than the brand here, imho.
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY! Please…?
You know, this idea would also work great as a sports bottle, with the button on top acting as the pull-up nozzle that are on sports bottles.
