[Noisebridge-discuss] food hackin gadget device projects

[Marc Powell]

hello gadgety people (d at vid fine i'm looking in your direction)

i've been talkin to zoz/kingpin at PROTOTYPE THIS about making weird food
gadgets-- here are some ideas.. would love some feedback, will announce
next sprint here:

BELLAGIO BOWL:
-ceramic bowl with RGB LED fountain
-pour consomme (clear hot soup) into reservoir
-little drilled holes around edge of bowl
-RGB leds also in little drilled holes
-when the bowl goes "on" all the holes spit out hot consomme into the
middle of the bowl, illuminating them with an RGB LED lightshow- like the
bellagio fountain (FANCY but ghetto)

VACUUM SIEVE
-90 micron sieve
-blend split pea soup, pull it through the sieve with a vacuum
-modified vacuform machine?
-handpowered vacuum pump? could set granularity of vacuum- just a few
squeezes vs. locked down all the way
-small micron sieve is used for clarification as well as breaking down
molecule to 90 microns- very smooth soups, etc

CHOPWHISKER
-handheld automatic chopstick whisker
-silicon sex-toy hand with articulation
-clamps to hold chopsticks on fingers
-set chopstick width, fulcrum point
-motor to set chopstick speed
-hold this hand in your hand to whisk eggs, foams, mayonnaises with safe
bamboo chopsticks, at the speed you desire

PINT GLASS CENTRIFUGE
-metal pint glasses spinning at 2k-4k RPM
-make pousse cafe-style "layered drinks" eg guiness, midori, aftershock,
curacao
-set arbitrary densities for alcohol based on duration in centrifuge
-spin alcohols for specific periods of time to set density
-lighter alcohols could then be heavier than, say, guiness and rest on the
bottom while guiness floats gently atop
