Lever.
The fulcrum is that point where a lever is fastened to a stable point. Usually it is in the middle of the lever (as when you pry the lid of a paint can) but it can be at the end (as in the case of a bottle opener). When the fulcrum is at the end, the force that results is in the same direction as the force you apply; you lift up on the bottle opener and it lifts the bottle cap up. When the fulcrum is in the middle, the resulting force is in the opposite direction to the force you apply; you push down on the prybar and the paint can lid goes up.
the difference is the position of the fulcrum. a first class lever has the fulcrum between the lode and applied force. a second class lever has the load between the fulcrum and applied force. A third class lever has the applied force between load and fulcrum. The load happens to be the thing that you are affecting in the system. On a seesaw the load and applied force changes as either kid goes up, but the lower kid is always the force and upper is the load with the fulcrum in the middle. this happens to be a first class lever. a second class lever could be a bottle cap opener with the fulcrum at the end the bottle cap(load) in the middle and you pushing (force) on the other. a third class lever are like tweezers with the fulcrum on the closed end, force is you pushing in the middle, and affected load is whatever you pick up. There are also compound levers like nailclippers, but by diagramming the whole system it should be pretty easy to discover that it is a first class lever. It's compund because of the use of a lever system
There is one example that will describe the function of a fulcrum. It is a point on which a lever will work. Real world examples: the center support of a see-saw in a playground, the lip of a metal can on which a can opener pierces that triangular cut, and on the other end, the bottle opener, the little part that holds the bottle cap from underneath as the top part pops the cap.

The main benefit of a CO2 wine opener is the ease and speed with which you can open a bottle of wine. The opener injects a small amount of gas into the bottle with a needle through the cork which pushes the cork quickly out of the bottle.
Amazon is a great place for small things such as novelty bottle opener key rings and so is eBay. Also websites such as Firebox offer great bottle opener key rings.
