Quezon's Toy
Friday, March 24, 2006
Those last two posts might seem strange, as I have no real explination for what the "toy"
is. That's what this post is for. Quezon built the 'toy' out of Legos (3 sets including one with gears and motors and one with hydrolic pumps). But what is it? It's a grape juice maker.
No joke.
It has three small bins, one for sugar (if you want sugar in your grape juice), one for a grape (cut in half), and one for the mixing. You set a grape in the grape bin (once again, it must be cut in half), and run the motor. The motor powers the pumps which crush the grape. That all the really happens (yes, it works). In theroy, the process dumbs grape juice (from about 10 grapes) into the mixing bin, to which you add sugar. The motor also powers (in addition to the pump) and set of spinning blenders that mix the sugar and juice, which then runs out a hole in the side into your cup.
It all works perfectly, execpt that it can't real make enough juice for it to be practical.
But it's still neat, right?
