Lumenatic Laser Toaster Team Tolstedt Description of the Problem: It takes well over two minutes today to make a decent piece of toast. This time could be spent doing more important things. Goal of Project: To create a toaster that will create perfect bread in under 1 millisecond. The Innovation: The Lumenatic Laser Toaster harnesses the power of “lasers” to toast bread to the desired brownness level in under 0.5 milliseconds! Figure 1: The Lumenatic Laser Toaster uses micro laser technology to reduce bread toasting time to a fraction of what it is for commercially available toasters. • Development Pathways: • Any money we win will be funneled into research to solve the laser overheating problems and reduce cost. • Goal is to produce a functioning prototype. • Will contact leading toaster companies after a patent is filed. • Will investigate licensing the Intellectual Property. Figure 2: Micro Lasers work in tandem to scan the piece of bread, browning to the perfect level in under a millisecond! Development Team Tony Stark, Bruce Banner: Initial idea development. Thor Odinson: Micro laser system. Pete Parker: Web Design. Steve Rogers: Prototype build. Impact The Lumenatic Laser Toaster will save two minutes every morning for over 100 million people worldwide. That time savings represents 50,000 man-hours per year, or over 2.5 million dollars! Compared with the most energy efficient toasters on the market today, a 400% savings!
