Get the perfect head every time! $200 machine uses SOUND WAVES to guarantee your beer has the best quality foam
- Fizzics machine uses high frequency sound waves to make thicker foam
- Smaller bubbles in foam make it last longer and the beer taste smoother
- $200 (£132) table-top device is designed to be used with any kind of beer
- Gadget will be available to pre-order via Indiegogo 'later this week'
A new gadget called Fizzics (pictured) promises the perfect head on beer by using sound waves
Getting the perfect head on a glass of beer can be a fine art.
But a new gadget promises to create the optimum amount of foam every time using sound waves.
Called Fizzics, the machine claims to offer to ‘elevate store bought beer into a draft quality beer, the way the brewers intended it to taste’ and can be used with any beer of a user’s choice.
It pumps high-frequency sound waves through beer to make thick foam to sit on top, enhancing the flavour of the drink.
Beer is inserted into the prototype gadget and connected with a plastic tube so that once the lid is closed, the liquid is sealed in an airtight container.
Users then push a lever forward on top of the device to suck beer through a nozzle, before pushing it back again to pump high-frequency sound waves though the liquid, to produce thick foam.
In particular, the gadget is concerned with three different phases of 'fizz'.
Nucleation, when the bubbles start to form, beading, which is when the bubbles rise to form a head, and disproportionation, which is when the bubbles mature.
Fizzics reduces excessive bubble formation by pressurising the canister and pouring the beer at a controlled rate.

The machine pumps high-frequency sound waves through beer to make thick foam to sit on top (pictured right) compared to a normal pouring method (left). The thicker foam with smaller bubbles is said to last longer and make beer taste smoother
This is done by using high frequency sound waves and oscillation technology without the need for CO2.
And it means that the foam produced is thicker with smaller bubbles and lasts longer than for beer simply poured from a bottle into a glass.
The Manchester, New Hampshire-based company said on its website: ‘Fizzics was engineered for your five senses and delivers visually appealing head, wonderful aromatic bouquet, and sensual liquid and foam mouthfeel making for an authentic, true representation of an expertly poured pint.
‘To accomplish this, we focus on beer head, controlled pressure flow and fluid and gas dynamics, creating a rich, creamy foam that enhances appearance, texture, smoothness and mouthfeel.’

And it added that the bubbles and foam are an integral part of beer quality and experience, from being visually appealing, to enhancing the flavour and aroma of a pint.
Connoisseurs say beer with a flatter head doesn’t taste as good and that small bubbles in thick foam make the drink taste smoother.
The gadget will be available to pre-order on Indiegogo this coming week, Gizmodo reported, for a reduced price of the recommended retail price of $200 (£132).
