Do a few tuft tests first. Fridge aerodynamics are not to be taken lightly.

Red yer killin me, try hooking up an HHO generator to your coffee maker....it'll brew 20% to 50% faster depending on your electrolyte. (just don't smoke a cig for 10 minutes after the coffee is done)

that is a great idea. it already had that big resevoir an I have a few stainless steel veggi e steamers. actually I did add some aero mods to something that gets a lot of wear. I boattailed all the wheels on my computer chair. it might be a plecebo effect but I think I am typing 13% faster. A-B -A test to follow shortly.

I say put 'em in the toilet bowl and see if you can reverse the direction of the swirl for better flushing efficiency.
