Dane Kouttron (previously on Neatorama) notes that the deceptively-named gyro sandwich cooks food on only a single axis. A thorough chef cooks meat from every angle evenly. Automated cooking spits developed by Leonardo da Vinci, Benjamin Franklin, and other previous inventors rotated meat from only one direction.
Kouttron rejects these limits. He designed, machined, and welded a gyroscope that cooks meat from all directions over a single open flame. A 40 RPM 12 volt electric motor provides power to keep even movement for the most precise roasting needs. You can view his complete plans, parts list, and action video here.
