This is the opposite of a rotisserie grill. The food is stacked on shelves or racks, and the cooling elements are mounted on a rotating spike in the centre. The coolth is therefore radiated evenly and sequentially in each direction, maximising the efficient and uniform distribution of rays of coldness.
Crappy example...

This is not clear. Is the axis of rotation verizontal or hortical? |
|
|
Unless they've developed a cold ray and not told me,
(sounds like something they'd do) it's just the ambient
temperature within the refrigerator's envelope that keeps
things cold and the temp is pretty much the same in all
directions. Apart from there being a coldy blowholey thing
that pumps the double plus un-hot air in where it's colder
when it's blowing. |
|
|
I guess you could rotate stuff in front of the blowy majig. |
|
|
Next up, replace your uncandescent darkbulbs with linearly light-
absorbing diodes. |
|
|
I know you're kidding PT, but "Uncandescent" should be
trademarked as a slogan for these LED energy saving
bulbs. |
|
|
"So dump the costly, energy wasting bulbs and switch to
GE LEDs. The "uncandescent" bulb." |
|
|
Wait, nobody knows what an incandescent
bulb is nowadays anyway so nobody would get it. |
|
|
I thought it was going to be an idea about food wastage, so the user of the fridge would be reminded/confronted by food that was soon to go out of date |
|
|
//Difficult to know what you mean by that
[dr3]. By definition LEDs aren't incandescent bulbs
as they don't use heat as the primary means of
creating light.// |
|
|
Right, so use that as a selling point. It's not an
incandescent, it's an UN-candescent. Cute
marketing thing. |
|
|
//Not a bad idea - a fan assist fridge.// |
|
|
That's how they do it already. Got a cooling coil
with a fan blowing over it. |
|

I thought this would be rotating shelves, so you can reach
the stuff in the "back". A cylindrical fridge wouldn't fit so
neatly in with the rest of the rectangularish kitchen
componentry, but meh... |
|
|
I've considered getting one of those cold-food-vending
machines that has a multi-tiered vertical-axis carousel that
rotates to present different options to the openable hatches.
It strikes me that it would make quite a good kitchen fridge. |
|
|
Yea, put a multi-layered lazy Susan in there, duh. That's
what I heard
them called growing up, probably politically incorrect to
use that term now. "OH, so a woman's place is in the
kitchen and if she needs a device to help her she's lazy?" |
|
|
To which I'd reply "Susan happens to have been born a
man and I'm a little bit triggered by your subjecting this
person to gender normative rolls just because they freely
decided to pick their own name." |
|
|
You gotta out play these PC types. Win 'em at their own
game. |
|
|
^I think you don't need the "Susan happens to have
been born a man" bit. |
|
|
Back to thread. I'd be interested in a Rotary fridge
with a high rate of rotation. |
|
|
Imagine you're having baked potatoes and "Oh no I
forgot to put butter on them", |
|
|
One press of a button and the centrifugal force will
sling the butter out of the fridge, direct to your
hand. |
|
|
Each shelve is articulated so they move up and down like a
carnival ride. (link) |
|
|
It's like it's waving the food in front of you in a temp-tasty
fashion. |
