Portable Speaker for Danish Fuel
Danish Fuel is a portable speaker built inside an upcycled World War Two metal jerry can. Old rust and paint are removed by furnace treatment and sandblasting, and the can is then powder coated in a green satin finish. The front panel is made of molded plywood with a smoked oak top layer. The control plate, feet and marking plates are anodized aluminium. The speaker holds a woofer, a tweeter and a class D amplifier. Sound is played through Bluetooth or an auxiliary cable, and power comes from a battery or mains electricity. Each unit carries a unique identification number.

Research
According to the most known brands among portable speakers it´s found that most of them are made by men with a technical background and to approach the hi-fi market rater than the woman who shall use it in their home. There was a gab in the market and we could not find any sustainable solution. A real craftman ship. Most speakers a bulk manufactured in thousand of numbers. To find a speaker that was beyond tech but a sculpture and piece of art did not excist.
Inspiration
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
