The Andromeda Project
A beautiful incarnation of a core chemistry tool; this magnetic stir plate is carved from a block of locally sourced oat offcut, integrated with custom motors and a perfectly balanced magnetic system, creating a silent, adjustable, powerful, elegant piece of functional decoration.
Named after one of the most enamoring whirlpool galaxies, the gentle vortex that is created in any liquid placed on it is hypnotizing.
Built to speed-up the cooling process for hot drinks by allowing more surface area to come in contact with cool air, or act as a gentle stir to evenly mix ingredients hands free, it has become a necessary daily tool for those who have used it.
Made to have an optional heating plate integrated, it can also keep drinks warm while gently stirring to keep denser particles evenly mixed.
This Vortex Stirrer ultimately means that the stir plate can be run at lower speeds for the same mixing efficiency, which would extent the battery life nearly 3 fold.
Completely redesigning the stirring component for efficiency, noise, and most importantly safety, it has been designed off the physics of air-raid sirens for maximum fluid movement.
With a speed adjustment that pops out for ease of access, and can be out of the way when not in use, it’s designed to be effortlessly intuitive.
Originally designed to have a “Creator’s Edition” built with a polycarbonate window into the mechanical inner workings of the stir plate.
