I can see CeaSar playing with this all morning.This toaster is part of Ivo Vos's ‘Brunch' collection. It's a toast catapult, or trebuchet. One cool feature is that it lets you calibrate the force and angle of your toast's trajectory. Presumably so that you can have a plate all set up in the right place. It's one of many prototypes for kitchen equipment from the Dutch designer.
I can see this for someone in a micro-apartment, or house.Designed by Jaren Goh of Singapore, and winner of the 2006 Red Dot Award, the ROLLERtoaster is pretty self explanatory: stick bread in one side, and watch it get rolled into toast by the compact little unit.

For those who want a better way to twirl spaghetti on to a fork.The best part about this machine is that it’s all automated.
Pour in the fat free batter and hit the button and out come the hotcakes.
If you had one of these and were selling pancakes, they’d sell like hotcakes.
The Chefstack Pancake Maker can be yours if you have $3500 lying around.
You can purchase it from here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001HX ... onexplo-20Twirling is a better way to eat spaghetti and the motorized fork
automatically winds up the pasta on the end of the fork.
What was the point to this?Described as a "column of music" that radiated audio in every direction, the PF1 was covered in leather and cost $10,000.
Who could forget the Rolly? Perhaps the most bizarre product Sony has ever made, this egg-shaped device was a digital music player that rolled around and flashed in sync to the audio. It was a confusing concept, and the $400 MSRP didn't help.
Hmmmm..........Lenp wrote: ↑Sun Mar 03, 2019 6:41 pm About that pancake maker...
Holiday Inn Express has them in all the ones we've stayed. It works well and makes pretty good pancakes. The batter is bagged, the pancake drops onto a heated conveyor baking one side then flips over at the end to do the other side on another conveyor . Their units have no control panel, just push a button and three come out with about 2 minutes until the first one shows up, then the rest are right behind. It is a big hit, and not just with the kids!
That reminds me of a book I loved to read back when I was but a wee young whippersnapper. Some of you may know it, or maybe I was one of those weird kids who read all the older stuff that was left from all the previous generations. It was the adventures of Homer Price. The Wikipedia here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homer_Price shows the one I remember best, with the story about the donut maker that wouldn't shut off until it ran out of dough. (Speaking of donuts, our local fire company is.known for its donuts and today was fastnacht day. I'm on a diet! WAAHHH!) If you've read the story, you can see why the connection was made.Janitor Tzap wrote: ↑Sun Mar 03, 2019 6:26 pm Don't know if this is such a good idea.......

This is as weird that I can find in a indoor antenna.Lenp wrote: ↑Mon Mar 04, 2019 9:20 am No pictures to post but I remember the wide array of TV antennas, set top and outdoor years ago. They went from a bare rod to a load of bed springs, with switches, 'tuning knobs' and whatever, including aluminum foil flags, all in the quest of the Holy Grail of TV viewing. In spite of all the technology, there was never any consensus of opinion about the best design, so rarely did you see two of a kind, except in the store. Today, with digital TV, the antenna hucksters are back on the street with 'FREE TV' deals....
Yeah, you had mentioned it earlier on the 2nd page.Lenp wrote: ↑Mon Mar 04, 2019 9:20 am Also, I remember a mechanical channel changer. No not Zenith Space Command ultrasonic metal bar plucker . This was a long flexible cable, like a speedometer cable that went from a box attached somehow to the TV tuner to a hand held box with a big knob. Channel change was all it did, but it had a way of grinding off the tuner shaft like a pencil sharpener!
