Dan, according to the article: Pressurized beer lifts the magnet up, filling the cup until the weight of the beer on top of the magnet pushes it back down, sealing the bottom.
I was under the impression that the magnet seals off the pouring after the beer is full... just Wondering if a thicker beer would seal before completely full.

I wonder if a thicker, stouter, hoppier beer will weigh more and cause the magnet to close before it is full? Pretty sure the filling machine determines when the magnet will close and the beer stops flowing, not the magnet in the cup . Yep, I am inclined to think that the machine is programmed to fill the required amount. Then, when the machine reaches said volume, the magnet falls in place because there's no more pressure from the flow of beer.

Makes more sense that way, but the article needs to be re-worded in that case . The way it is written, it says that the machine continues filling until the weight of the beer closes the magnet.To me, this implies that the machine doesn't know when to stop- it simply stops when the weight of the beer offsets the magnet. It should say that the machine is programmed to fill the correct volume of the cup, and then the magnet prevents it from leaking after filling. Then again, maybe my brain just needs to interpret the wording differently

I wonder how long it takes for some drunk idiot to swallow the magnet and sue the company?

Be an easy way to steal the barkeep's tips....just slid your glass over the change. Not that I would do that, or anything.

I think it's ingenious, but I don't like it at all; it creates more waste.

I'm not sure what you mean, Ken.
Plastic serving cups like the ones shown in the video, are recyclable. But, I highly doubt that they are when they have a magnet manufactured into the bottom of them; thus creating more garbage and waste.
Sure, it increases productivity, but it's BS as far as I'm concerned, if it's at the expense of more environmental devastation.
If something like this catches on (and I'm sure many businesses would find it desirable), our landfills will be filling up just as fast as those plastic cups.

Oh, that was in response to the one about picking up change with the cups.
