Problems with the Prototype
It was extremely difficult at the time trying to find a motor that was small enough in proportion to the machine. However, the selected motor was too weak to turn the rings fast enough.
The machine was too large to fit inside most household fridge freezers and only produced one product at time. It was more of a curiosity than a full fledged production unit.
