Description
Ethan Steele is a sales representative here at MarkForged. He grew up in Massachusetts, went to California and then came back as an adult. He quickly noticed the devices that hold the gas pump handle open just didn't exist in Boston. In the winter, he was miserable standing out in the cold holding the freezing cold pump.
Ethan looked it up online and discovered it was illegal for gas pumps to automatically pump in Massachusetts. The reasoning is that static electricity could possibly cause an explosion, especially when the air is dry during the winter.
"Winter is coming. It'll definitely be freezing out there and it seems crazy to stand out in the cold holding the pump. So I conceived of the Guzzleine Antifrost Device to keep me warm and safe from Direwolves - in my car."
Ethan designed it in TinkerCAD. It is designed to wrap around the handle where one would normally hold their hand, using the teeth to grip the soft vinyl gas handle. The tiny cylinder shaped cavity is intended to hold a magnet.
