不愛吃奧利奧夾心？技術宅發明奧利奧餅乾分離器

A Cookie-favoring physicist has created what appears to be the world's first Oreo separator.
一個不喜歡夾心的物理學家制造出了世界上第一臺奧利奧夾心分離機。

David Neevel, an artist and inventor based in Portland, Ore., was commissioned by the popular cookie brand to produce the machine as part of its "Cookies vs. Creme" campaign.
David Neevel是俄勒岡州波特蘭市的一名發明家，也是一位藝術家。他受到這個著名餅乾品牌的委託，爲該公司的“餅乾VS奶油”廣告製造出了這臺機器。

"My Oreo machine is based entirely on my dislike for creme and my preference for cookie," Neevel said in a short video.
“我製造夾心分離機完全是因爲我討厭夾心、喜歡餅乾，”Neevel在短片這樣提到。

The OSM, as Neevel calls it, was constructed of scrap aluminum, wood, a hatchet and floss in a Portland garage.
Neevel 把發明簡稱爲OSM （奧利奧分離器），這是他在波特蘭的一個車庫裏用一些鋁的廢料、廢木材、一把小斧頭和一些金屬絲製成的。

After the hatchet blade is lowered to split the Oreo, a pair of mechanical arms are dispatched to collect the cookie halves, which are transferred to a router table where the creme is removed.
斧頭把奧利奧一劈爲二，然後一對機械臂會撿起兩半奧利奧，接着餅乾會被送到銑削臺，把餅乾上的奶油銑掉。

The electric-powered contraption took about two weeks to build. "It was a big time commitment," Neevel said. "I had to work some long hours—I didn't see my girlfriend or my dog for hours at a time."
這個神奇的電動機械裝置造了兩個星期的時間。“這是個非常非常重要的委託，”Neevel說。“我得連續工作很久，有時候我好幾個小時都見不了我的女朋友和我的狗。”

"Outstanding. I applaud your efforts," one YouTube commenter wrote. "For your next design, how about an automatic sock pair singlifier?
“贊一個。爲你的發明鼓掌，” 一個YouTube用戶這樣評論道。“下次造一個襪子配對機怎麼樣？”

Three other inventors were commissioned by Oreo to come up with concepts, with the next one slated to be unveiled later this week.
另外還有三名發明家受到奧利奧委託想一些新點子，下一個發明預計在這周晚些時候發佈。
