There are so many microwave brands out there - and most of them have largely the same features. They all have the carousel rotating in the horizontal plane.
What if we have a microwave with carousel rotating in the vertical plane, like we see in a tumble dryer? The magnetron would be on the bottom
pointing upwards, and not positioned to the side as with most microwaves.
The vertical rotation carousel would then not only move the food around, as with a regular horizontal carousel, but it would tumble it, thus exposing more surfaces as compared to the regular horizontal carousel.
Moreover, if we make part of the rotating drum transparent to microwaves and part of it able to absorb microwaves for conventional heating, then we can peform combination cooking with both microwaving and stir-frying simultaneously.
Whereas regular stir-fry cooking tends to cook the food surface first via hot surface contact, the microwaves tend to penetrate more deeply. Thus with the combination method we might be able to cut down on cooking time, by more quickly delivering more energy into the food by these dual methods.

[+] Awesome. Easy implementation too, as many microwave ovens already have a turntable inside on the bottom, with a glass platter. Put that mechanism on side or back wall instead, replace the platter with a cylinder. |

Y'know, you could also sell this as an accessory / retrofit to existing microwave ovens. I've seen "windup" turntables you could use in older ovens that didn't have them. May be possible to build a stand-alone tumbler to in a similar fashion. |

Wait a second, nobody's thought of that? Forget about just microwaves, make a glass version to put into ovens. Give it blades so the food doesn't just slide around, it gets stirred and flipped constantly. |

Anno of the month 2 fries. Bravo. (slow clap) |

Why only spin on one axis? Incorporate full 6-axis motion, with one degree of freedom controlled by a double pendulum. |
