Abstract:
A method for pouring a liquid from a vessel by a fluid stream that flows from the vessel to a pre-selected location, comprising the following steps: establishing a first element with a first axis of rotation; establishing a second element with a second axis of rotation, said second axis of rotation positioned substantially parallel to the first axis of rotation, and offset from said first axis of rotation by a first offset distance, said second axis of rotation disposed within the periphery of the first element; establishing a third element with a third axis of rotation, said third axis of rotation positioned substantially parallel to the first and second axes of rotation, and offset from said second axis of rotation by a second offset distance, said third axis of rotation disposed within the periphery of the second element; supporting the vessel containing the liquid from said third element; and rotating said first, second and third elements about the first, second and third axes of rotation, respectively, to pour the liquid from said vessel by a fluid stream to the pre-selected location.
