Kind of like the scene in star wars where he faces off against that floating zappy-droid. Swish! Swish! |

I suppose the reloading of the central hot patch occurs through gravity as kernels slide down? I have reservations about how well that might work. Maybe a conveyor belt is in order. |

Or since popcorn popping seems to follow some sort of random decay, you could just heat them all at once and trust to statistics to take care of things. |

As good and fun as this idea is, I still love those JiffyPop things you do over the stove where the aluminum grows into a huge bubble. I'll still bun your idea [FJ] because if JiffyPop didn't exist, then this would be *the one.* |

//I suppose the reloading of the central hot patch occurs through gravity as kernels slide down?// Yes, think of a parabolic pool table that's stopped spinning. |

Finally, an [FJ] plan that will actually work! I'd buy this. Why not have a vertical tube mounted slightly above the hotplate so that the popped corn can fly up and out without being held down by uncaught corn and fresh kernels? |

Dogs like popcorn. I like dogs. woof! [+] |

Drinks off the table first. This could liven up any dinner party! |

Nice idea. (+)
I would worry about the kernels ontop of one another though, preventing the food flying fun. Maybe have only a one kernel high layer down the sides be maintained by a zig zag pattern that the kernels followed. And if that zig zag pattern hinders the movement of the kernels add in a vibrator (don't be perverted......like me) that goes on every few seconds for a short burst. |
