About Danish Fuel Boxă portabilă
Danish Fuel este o boxă portabilă construită în interiorul unei canistre metalice din Al Doilea Război Mondial, reciclată creativ. Rugina veche și vopseaua sunt îndepărtate prin tratament în cuptor și sablare, iar canistra este apoi vopsită în câmp electrostatic într-un finisaj verde satinat. Panoul frontal este realizat din placaj mulat cu un strat superior din stejar afumat. Placa de control, picioarele și plăcuțele de marcaj sunt din aluminiu anodizat. Boxa conține un woofer, un tweeter și un amplificator de clasă D. Sunetul este redat prin Bluetooth sau printr-un cablu auxiliar, iar alimentarea se face de la o baterie sau de la rețeaua electrică. Fiecare unitate poartă un număr unic de identificare.

- The jerry can be designed back in 1937, to contain supplies for the armies. The allies nicknamed the Germans, Jerries, as slang for German. As the small Einheits-kanister was a German invention - thereby the name a jerry can. The allies duplicated the design and just before D-day in 1944 more than 21 million of Jerry cans were made. "Without these cans, it would have been impossible for our armies to cut their way across France at a lightning pace during the German blitz”. - President Roosevelt
