Re: the refrigerator door.
I’ve always wondered if just engineering a door that shuts itself is a better option here… like a servo that swings the door around enough to shut… what’s the overhead for either unnecessary piece of technology…

- xboxnolifes 3y agoThen it won't be able to close.
- askvictor 3y agoThe main reason my fridge door doesn't close is if there's an obstruction. So a motor won't do much (unless its unreasonably strong). It's easy enough to adjust a fridge to tilt slightly backwards so gravity closes the door by itself.

- jcuenod 3y agoDepends whether the cat is dead or alive

- joak 3y agoJust incline your fridge a bit so the door closes on its own weight. A no tech solution is better than a low tech solution.
- justinl33 3y agoThis doesn't work; the door needs to swing to 140 degrees, once it swings past this range, it would never be able to round the corner to close.
