Rollable Microwave Oven by Hyun Choi

It is a common microwave oven that can be used in a usual household; at normal times, it rolls up like a towel taking a relatively small space and can be easily moved around. But when it needs to cook and the power turns on, the rolled up cooking-plate stretches open as the electricity starts flowing and becomes strong enough to hold the weights of the cooking utensils.

“Becomes strong enough to support cooking utensils”?!! I study engineering at uni. I hate concept designers. Also isn’t this massively unsafe? What stops you putting your face against it?

Ummm
how about people not wanting to burn their faces stops them from putting their faces against it?
>_> And what do you have against concept designers?

What stops you putting your face against your oven elements Chris? Or leaving your hand outside the car window when you wind it up? Hooray for survival of the fittest!

Interesting idea, but you need to research microwave technology. This execution is unsafe because there is no containment of the waves…perhaps you could market this as a combo heater/ tanner/ microwave for your kitchen??…

.but seriously most microwaves in today’s market have at least a 1″ metal box around the magnetron with a choke and the special dot pattern in the door.

What if instead this was an induction cook top? probably would be safer.

haha I like how it’s a microwave with no containment as Bill mentioned ebove. It’s like a car where the exhaust fumes are vented into the air-con! Induction would definitely be better : )
