Why isn't there a machine that acts as the opposite of a microwave?

[brigden]

This wouldn't be possible without a kind of gas, would it?

 

[AZGamer]

You've taken the words right out of my mouth.

 

[iversonyin]

Good idea...why don't you invent it and make load of cash with it

now go....why waste time postin on ATOT

If you use contra polar energy, a microwave will cool and a refrigerator will heat.

Hm. I've seen can chillers in some sort of sharper image/ hammacher/ whatever catalog that claim to chill a can in 30 seconds by spinning against ice. I don't understand how it would work, but you might want to start there.

 

[amcdonald]

What if there was a spray that made poop disappear?

 

[mercanucaribe]

Liquid nitrogen!

They had the guy that invented that on screwed on Tech TV awhile ago. was pretty basic, it just spins a beer in ice and something about the spinning makes it cool down faster.

If you put a beer in a -70C freezer, it takes about 4 minutes to get really cold.

Here ya go.

Well, microwaves work by exciting water molecules and causing friction, thus heat. If you could figure out a way hole them in place and apply some sort of cold at the same time, maybe it'd work?

 

[spidey07]

lots easier to put energy in than to take it out.

A link I just followed explained that spinning causes all the contents of the can to come in contact with the surface of the can so that it all gets cooled evenly ..

Spinning the can against the ice particles enhance the conductivity of contact because some of the ice are melted into water that inhibit the best contact between ice and can

Ahh, makes sense.

Um yeah, you can make your own. Just get some liquid nitrogen. Simple, easily accessible (although a bit expensive).

 

[PHiuR]

that is what i've been looking forall my life...
please make it.

One of the local Krogers has a wine chilling machine (chills wine in 30 minutes). It's a tube filled with ice water that's swilled around.

great, the ATOTers will be able to use that for their white zin

Because it's hard to take energy out of something by bombarding it with more energy.

 

[alkemyst]

wine coolers have been around a while.

for beer just buy it cold and keep it cold. If you really need a cold one load the freezer...about 5 mins they get cold in mine.

 

[Sandor]

jet engine cooled beer

 

[Liviathan]

My grocery store has a machine that uses super cold water to cool beer, wine or whatever real quick. Drop the bottle in there for a couple of minutes and you are set.

Liquid nitrogen is dirt cheap. Like cheaper than bottled water cheap. It's expensive to store though.
