It's a question that has been asked for as long as the cookie has existed. Do you like the cookie or the filling in an Oreo Cookie? Much time and delicious cookie parts have been wasted finding the answer. But now the debate has inspired the creation of a violent cream hating device invented by a maniacal chocolate cookie fanatic. The video below features footage of David Neevel and his Oreo Separator Machine. Neevel claims to be a "Physicist and Copywriter" but is most likely just a Chocolate addict with a warped mind.(or most likely an actor hired by the makers of Oreos)
What's next? A device to suck the fig filling out of Fig Newtons?
He is a physist, yet he forgot to use gravity and the wheel? (gravity will not fail and will not require any power)
Checking his design, he isn't an engineer either...
This is how I would solve this problem...
0. Fill gravity fed Dispensing unit with circular cookie with a filling.
1. Release dispenser gate for 1 unit. and allow circular object to roll down track through the use of gravity.. Gravity will not fail, robotic arms are expensive and prone to failure...
2. stop circular object lower blades to seperate the ends and push them to the side, the center flling drops through the hole.
3. Done. No need for robotic arms when you start with a circular object..
