Looking for a more hygienic way to roast a hot dog that doesn’t involve it rolling around on a rarely cleaned grill? Taking advantage of the Coandă effect, YouTube’s NightHawkInLight has created a bizarre BBQ alternative that instead levitates a wiener inside a red hot coil.
Even if you’re not familiar with the Coandă effect, you’ve probably seen a video or two online of it in action, and have definitely experienced it in real life. Named after Romanian inventor Henri Coandă, it describes an effect where a fluid jet—either a liquid or gas—has the tendency to cling to the contours or a convex surface. If you’ve ever tried to empty a mug into a sink and had the coffee run down the side and drip off the bottom of the mug, that’s the Coandă effect at work. But it can also be used to make objects with curved surfaces float using an air gun by generating lift that counteracts the effects of gravity, like ping pong balls, oranges, screwdrivers, and now grilling season staples.

I remember there was a Lum’s by Ft. Meade in the early 70’s.
The Bourgeoisie in me me says “No way, Waterhill.” The Proletariat in me is already going back to the grille for seconds.
Yeah, I don’t get me sometimes...but when I do, its like DAMN!
“rolling around on a rarely cleaned grill? “
Lazy people. If you can’t scrub down the grill with aluminum foil before using then let it get smoking hot before food goes onto it you’re doing it wrong.
"Everyone SHUT UP! Stop telling me how I should be and just love me for who I am."
Loved that place first place my twin and I went to eat on our own way way back in the mid 70s
Thats a chicken
perfect for rapists and child molesters too
Or dutch oven
Or just put it on a coat hanger and hold it over the grill.
That looks pretty good! Thanks for the suggestion!

Once you have had the free with every beer purchased roller dogs at Rudys in Hells Kitchen Manhattan you will be chasing the dragon ever since. That grill is at least 30 years old and the dogs roll all day and night in a never ending stream of greasy greatness.

I wait until they split, too. And I put Heinz 57, along with plain yellow mustard on them. Don't care if it pisses people off.
Thank you! I don’t ever see myself up that way unless my wife drags me, but it’ll go on the “places to visit” list should I ever go!
I hear ya.
