Recirculating Gravy Fountain



The finish is crude, but that just adds to the charm. Anyway, the concept is brilliant: an eternal fountain of warm gravy. Instructables user turkey tek rigged this arrangement based on a peristaltic pump powered by an electric drill.

Besides as Brad stated that it looks "splashy" I also see a problem that, unless there is a heater somewhere along the system, the increased movement (and thereby contact with air) of the gravy will cause premature cooling. Tepid is definitely not how I enjoy my gravy. On the other hand, as Vim stated, it is no wonder restaurants don't employ this... kind of like those drink machines with the fountain inside to keep "juice" cold.

Hilarious yet nasty is my first (and enduring) impression. 'Gravy' and 'fountain' are two words which shouldn't necessarily be put together... although from now on every runny foodstuff I see will poke the 'would this make a great fountain?' button. And oh, I want one!

Dr. Hibbert: Well, your cholesterol level is lethally high, Homer, but I'm more concerned about your gravy level.
Homer Simpson: Now, wait a second. You doctors have been telling us to drink eight glasses of gravy a day!
Dr. Hibbert: [laughs] Well, you're a little confused.

...as for an "eternal fountain of warm gravy"...I went to the link/site, and no mention of how they plan to keep the gravy warm. As for "eternal", I'll consider that term as poetic license.

These people need to get a more productive hobby/life.
