Specifications
Multiplicity uses different rotors, shown in Figure 1(a,b,c), to accommodate multiple nut types and sizes.

Fig 1c: Smaller Rotor
Multiplicity utilizes three different rotors designs. Each rotor is made of aluminum and specializes in different sizes of nuts. The first rotor design, shown in Figure 1(a), has the same shape and size of the Full Belly Project’s small nut sheller rotor. While testing the rotor, the Goobers found that this rotor works best with peanuts.
The second rotor design, shown in Figure 1(b), utilizes a rotor that is ½ inch smaller in diameter than the first rotor and has a rounded top. This design allows for a larger sized nut shell to fit between the casing and the rotor. The rounded top portion of the rotor keeps the nuts from getting stuck on top of the rotor. The third rotor, shown in Figure 1(c), is also a ½ inch smaller in diameter than the original rotor, but keeps the same shape as the first rotor.
Multiplicity’s base is shown in the Figure 2. The base allows for easier clean up and storage. The design utilizes a removable solid base to allow for easy storage. To minimize clean up, multiplicity implements a drawer inside the base to catch the processed nuts. By adding a peanut shaped handle and making the nut sheller out of aluminum, the Goobers were able to add to the nut sheller’s aesthetics.
