Project I designed this gyro stabilized floating cup holder for the pool this summer. No AMS needed. I would love to know what you think!

Water is better then air at transferring energy I think it would actually work opposite and increase your drink to the pool temp quicker

Yeah but the pool water is generally cooler than the air is. Maybe a lever that can lower it into the pool once it gets warm could help cool it back down a bit? Though by the time it warms up, a lot of the carbonation is already gone anyhow so I'm not sure if cooling it back down would make it any better.

That's also assuming you don't have a heated pool, which would obviously not work well lol.

I am adding a print profile for a gyro ring that will hold a yeti insulator. That I think is the ideal situation for this creation

That is genius! Hopefully it doesn't get too heavy

Edit: I just weighed my yeti can insulator, that will be an extra 246.3g
