Here’s a bit of an odd one, but cool none the less. The Cornucopia is a concept design for a personal food factory, sort of a 3D printer that prints food.
Made by Marcelo Coelho and Amit Zoran the cornucopia uses an array of food canisters that individually store and refigirate the ‘cooks’ chosen ingredients. Then these ingredients are piped into a mixer and extruder head that can accurately deposit elaborate combinations of food. The food is then heated or cooled by Cornucopia’s chamber or the heating and cooling tubes located on the printing head. This fabrication process not only allows for the creation of flavors and textures that would be completely unimaginable through other cooking techniques, but it also allows the user to have ultimate control over the origin, quality, nutritional value and taste of every meal.
Its seems like something from star-trek, but it would be great if they start making these things for real.
