USB Korean barbecue

We've featured the work of Kaizo Aho Ichidai before, and it's glad to see he's still pushing out the barriers of hardware idiocy. Latest project is a USB-powered barbecue hotplate, though unfortunately we doubt this is ever going to hit the shelves. Disappointed by his lack of success with USB-powered egg-frying, he wasn't going to do things by halves for his next culinary experiment; his hotplate runs off a desktop with six USB expansion cards in the back, and harnesses the power of 30 USB ports. However, as the video on his site confirms, the result is some bona-fide Korean-style meat-grilling action and, shortly thereafter, dinner.
