This machine would work on basically the
same principle as the Large Hadron Collider,
only instead of particles, you could collide
food. 'Mashed potato' takes on a whole new
meaning as root vegetables rocket round
the
accelerator, and smoothies take on that
unique 'just-been-collided-together-
at-99.99999%-the-speed-of-light'
taste.
Can
also be used to calculate Pie.
Minced pi?

You are either confusing the mechanisms of hadron "creation" with the vile swill they are serving in your canteen, or echoing a food related universe description from another post. |
|
| |
To be quite honest, I don't know which is worse. |
|
| |
Ah yes, now i was thinking about this one only today. If you built up a static charge on probably pretty dry food, or maybe food with elemental iron in it such as cornflakes or molasses, you could get it to shoot round at amazing speed. It probably wouldn't work very well for everything, but it would work for crisps and molasses at least, and pasta come to think of it. |
|
| |
Crisps, molasses and pasta? Now there's a
half-baked flavour! |
|
| |
Wouldn't everything just turn into squash? |
|
| |
Baked - if you watched the fabulous Prof. Heinz Wolff (of Great Egg Race fame) explaining the LHC on the BBC news. |
|
| |
He explained that he wanted to find out what mince pies were made of, so he had brought a mince pie accelerator into the studio. Powered by compressed gas, the device fired two mince pies into each other at a fairly high speed - leaving bits of mince pie all over the studio. Looking at the debris he deduced that mince pies were largely made out of raisins and currents, and explained that the LHC was basically a mince pie accelerator for protons. |

We did Pina Collider, didn't we? That was a better pun, and it's gone, now. |
|
| |
We should set up a memorial to pina collider. Actually, is it on the wayback machine? On second thoughts, no it can't be, because of the brilliant work everyone else did after the Crash. If it was on there it'd be on here now.
The croissant looked different back then though. |
|
| |
This has serious entertainment value, don't just make it for the scientist's canteen, it should be in a restraunt, or at least a smoothie bar. |
|
| |
[wagster] I wish I'd seen that. Prof Wolff is cool. |
|
| |
It does indeed sound somewhat groovy, but it also sounds like it involved cannons. The thing about this and pina collider is that they don't depend on chemical or mechanical energy. |
|
| |
Should have used plum puddings. |
|
| |
If you put maple syrup in it, would it spew anti-Jemimas? |
|
| |
Could it tell us if an odd duck is made up of strange quacks? |
|

Isn't that how they get all the cheese in Cheez-Its?? [link] |

Kind of a Supperconducting Suppercollider? |

Rather like conveyor belt sushi? The food is statically charged or contains free iron. It zooms past all the diners in a restaurant. Each diner has a pair of gloves and a net, and they catch the food as it flies past. They then retrieve it via an airlock which reads a barcode on the food, then charges them appropriately. |

maybe.
i was thinking, instead of a net, a laser beam could both cook and then slow down the food |
|
| |
And the food would take on a whole new dimension....A food dimension...like the third dimension only inside out and squishy. |
|
| |
It might turn out that food has more
dimensions than we previously imagined. |
|
| |
and tofu has a dimension all to itself - its
all white and wobbly... ick! |
