'Reverse microwave' can chill wine bottles and fizzy drink cans in 45 seconds - Polidicks

I see your expensive reverse microwave and raise you a bucket filled with salty ice-water. Your move V-tech.

Pretty awesome, would be a great idea to replace all the refrigeration units at the store so that we spend less energy cooling the products than as of right now.

I've seen people make ice cream from scratch using liquid nitrogen (in around 30-50 seconds), perhaps this uses it in some manor?

The models in the video were horrible. A catwalk to a fridge.

I like that the complete message says "Cheers." Maximum british.

I was thinking about something like this 2 days ago :v:

the video talks about energy savings with the logistics of keeping drinks cool, but that only extends so far stuff like milk needs to be kept cool all the time to keep from going bad. but this would definitely be very useful for places like restaurants.

I've already got a reverse microwave. It's called a refrigerator. Well... it's more like a reverse Crock Pot, really.

So where do I get one of these for a water-cooling loop

Looks neat, but give it a few years to work out kinks become smaller and less expensive and then we'll talk.

Its just a washing machine that spins bottles in cold water, what the fuck is the reverse microwave stuff.

Isn't this a known trick?

didn't mythbusters stack a bunch of microwaves together and get really confused when the water in the middle [i]dropped[/i] in temperature?

[QUOTE=Pretty Obscure;42655245]Looks, but give it a few years to work out kinks become smaller and less expensive and then we'll talk.[/QUOTE] It can't really get too small because its a physical process that cools it down.

I don't know, to me this seems like more of a pain in the ass than anything. I can see it bringing forth a lot better technology in the future though.

[QUOTE=daijitsu;42656192]didn't mythbusters stack a bunch of microwaves together and get really confused when the water in the middle [i]dropped[/i] in temperature?[/QUOTE] The way microwaves work is that the energy released is at the specific frequency to rotate water molecules, lets say in a counter clockwise fashion. The faster these molecules rotates more heat they generate through friction. Now if you have a bunch of water molecules already rotating, then throwing energy at them that causes them to rotate in the opposite direction will decrease the speed of rotation and thus decrease heat via friction. Same principle works for laser cooling.

This is way less impressive as the title lead me to believe.

The reverse microwave, it makes things real cool real fast.

So yeah... ordinary convection cooling with liquid. I was hoping for a freeze ray of doom or some magic electromagnetic effects that somehow cool things instead of heating them up.

i swear i've seen one of these or similar at some alcohol shop a few years back

I had to stop the video half way though, if I heard another "in Europe" or "envirocool" I would have chucked my tablet... here's the problem, the large retailer device still refrigerates the can, she said there's a 6can buffer, so 6 cans are sitting frozen in the device, as well this only works with canned beverages of a certain size. this is just another gimak technology and seems like they were proud to say "Europe funded it, we capitalised it" which is stupid, if you are goverment my funded, you can't hold the patents and then go sell this a shit to consumers.

I heard we were developing solid state quantum refrigerators, so this technology will be made obsolete pretty darn fast.

Cool device for such a simple concept as forced convection.

They should call it, Macrovewa
