I can't watch videos where I work, so could someone briefly explain what this does? Is it anything to do with actual microwave radiation, or is it using accelerated conduction?
EDIT: if only YouTube is blocked... there's a video available here: http://www.v-tex-technology.co.uk/ It mentions nothing about "microwave", and is just a deceptive title on that food blog's part.
It's nothing to do with microwaves. It sloshes the drink around in a bath of chilled water while rotating it. It appears to save energy by keeping the chilled water thermally isolated from the environment rather than keeping an entire fridge cool. Very similar to the Salted Ice Water method[1]
Enough people have already complained about the title that I'd say the author made a stupid choice. It was confusing until reading the article, and I'd say it was link-bait for suggesting some kind of new physics technology.
It's basically a video of people looking busy in front of CADs and a woman coming straight from a catwalk trying to use the machine without breaking her nails.
I also had the distinct feeling that the advertisement director gave the order to make as unnecessarily large gestures as possible. "OK honey, now show an unprecedented amount of enthusiasm while you open this machines beer can hatch."
Glad they were able to frame a scary experience as a voluntary adventure. Gamification has great potential for solving motivational problems.
I see opportunities for gamification quite often. If we took any tedious or daunting task and broke it down into a fun, easy, and simple problem for everyone, society in general would benefit from a harvesting a lot of wasted productivity.
Instead of seeing dozens of people on the subway playing Candy Crush, if they enjoyed answering questions on StackOverflow just as equally, how much faster could we advance our knowledge and solve unique problems?
This would cause all sorts of complications. I think the three-year limit should have an exception for mysterious reappearance, this man given his "life" back and be demanded to repay child support.
What happens if this man gets murdered? Can you go to jail for killing a dead man?
Police pick him up for any crime, take him to a cell, look him up on the police database. Find out he's dead and decide not to feed him and just leave him in his cell. He's dead so no need to grant him bail.
I don't think there should be a limitation on this at all. What if someone was taken by someone else and then escaping ten years later and trying to get their life back.
This situation is definitely not that, but this could definitely cause some unneeded stress on someone...
