Abstract
Some embodiments of the present invention provide an apparatus for processing material adjacent to a barrier (e.g., a countertop or other surface), wherein the apparatus includes a container located on one side of the barrier and a stator located on an opposite side of the barrier. A rotor can be located within the container, and can be driven by the stator located on an opposite side of the barrier. In some embodiments, the rotor is free from mechanical connection to the stator, which can be controlled to generate a magnetic field driving the rotor within the container. A processing unit (e.g., one or more blades, whisks, brushes, or other elements) can extend from the rotor and be rotatable by rotation of the rotor. Accordingly, any number of different material processing devices can be driven by the rotor and stator when the rotor is brought into magnetic communication with the stator.
