Proposed Design Change 1

Increase Surface Area of the Freezer Bowl: An additional tube of the freezeing fluid that sticks up into the middle of the freezer bowl would expose more of the ice cream to a frozen surface of the bowl. It is obvious that the Ice Cream in the old design freezes unevenly, hardening faster at the edge of the bowl, then at the middle. This design chage requires a redesign of the mixing arm as well.

The design uses a similar geometry to the orginal mixing arm, but slimmed up and doubled. These dual arms are suspended on an added beam and then retained on a ring similar to the orginal. The new freezer bowl sits on the same base as the old one and rotates. The same Easy Lock Lid is used to hold the mixing arms in place. The added beam also has a pin in the center that the mixing arms rotate around.
