We have invented Magnetic Air Drive - a contactless transfer of powerful torque for a new generation kitchen appliances. Millo appliances is the winner of TechBBQ 2021 Hardware Startups Pitch competition. Existing kitchen appliances are typically chunky, aesthetically unappealing and difficult to clean, that's why people hide them deep in cupboards. Modern kitchens are becoming smaller, so there is limited space for storing. People are seeking for more durable, minimalistic and sustainable products, also smart and evolving over time via software updates. Magnetic Air Drive is a standard of the future kitchen. A powerful, seamless torque that is suitable for a new generation cordless as well as build-in products. It is a highly sustainable solution - one motor can power all the mechanical kitchen appliances. The first technology application is a cordless blender - www.getmillo.com, which is evolving to a multifunctional platform. New accessories coming are coffee grinder, juicer and baby food mixer. The next evolution of the Magnetic Air Drive will be integration into cooktops, opening up entirely new possibilities for the wireless kitchens of the future.
