Hopefully, everyone knows how the wave spreading system in a microwave works. The microwaves travel in a straight line to a metal rotating fan in the top of the microwave, which in turn scatters the waves all over the microwave. Unfortunately, this produces too much uniformity, which is why turntables
were introduced. Turntables have their cons, though, because they make cleaning more difficult, you can't fit large plates in, etc. What I propose is to put the metal deflector fan on a second axis. On this axis, it randomly swivels to and fro, back and forth. Hopefully, this would help to scatter the waves better. Now you can fit large and irregular plates that won't fit on the turntable, and you won't have the disadvantage of unevenly heated food due to having to deactivate the turntable.

It won't work unless the fan is above the food. If it's in the side, you still have the 'dark side' of the food to worry about. (Lots of Jedi jokes here) |

[galukalock] On every microwave I've ever seen, the fan is in the top. By the way, the fan part already exists, in case you didn't know, I'm simply suggesting it move around a bit more. It already spins, yes, but I suggest it swivels. I will edit the idea appropriately. |

I see. Well, ours uses a mica waveguide. |

Shoulda made it a Wankel fan. |

Why not simply tilt the fan? or change it for a lense which would create a top down heat. |
