This deep fryer doubles as a live goldfish tank. Since oil and water don’t mix, the hot oil stays on top and bits of food that fall down get eaten by the fishies!

To quote something of the above ‘strange buildings in asia’ page:
Just because you have the ability to build it, doesn’t mean you -should-.

:blinks: I’m not sure I understand the concept. Sure, the oil would may stay on top– but that seems neither healthy to the fish, nor practical in the least. How does it prevent heat transfer, is my real question.
Myra
another idea that is pointless…why would someone want that…ok so the fish are eating stuff that is killing us too…wow great idea. bring on the fat.
Aramax
If the fish go swim to near the oil you end up with a free fish burger instead of your original order.
Buzz
This has to be a hoax, or optical illusion/visual thing. The water would be boiling with hot oil above it.
Akiro
Very interesting, but I agree with Myra what is the point? To Buzz I disagree it certainly would be possible to prevent the water from boiling by simply using a greater volume of water and of course a large volume of oil only heated near the surface. Of course if I had a fryer/goldfish tank combo it would probably have a peltier element in it just to be safe.

I’d worry about the oxygen exchange – how would fresh oxygen enter the water?. Poor fish.
