[+] gas-powered toaster: what's not to like ? :) |
|
|
Now just how will it be activated? Evil laugh, perhaps? |
|
|
Toasting basically involves the dessication and then
partial oxidation/caramelisation of the outer layers
of the bread. I have a suspicion that this could be
attained chemically, as well as thermally. |
|
|
Impingement ovens already cook all your pizzas, from fast
food joints. |
|
|
Remembered another toaster, Paul Hogan show...2 minutes 46 seconds into the video (seelink) |
|
|
Back to the thread, the flame'll have to be hot, otherwise it's just a way to get very dry bread. <wonders what would happen if own "training hamsters to skydive hand dryer" is accidentally switched with this one..shudders> |
|
|
Actually gas heated air is not ideal, as water is a waste
product of the combustion. Impingement ovens work a lot
getting the humidity out of the air, to get your thin base
crispy. |
|
|
I suppose there would need to be the added complication of a heat exchanger to ensure that the air was devoid of moisture. |
|
|
Complicated dessication procedures may not be necessary, a simple [MaxwellBuchanan]'s daemon may do the trick. Unfortunately, this still needs to be 'baked into existance, the current embodiment blows little hot air. |
|
|
And yet, strangely, is mostly composed of just that. |
