Rotating Furnace

A rotating furnace is a device used to create lenses for optical telescopes. It was observed that the shape of a spinning liquid is the same as the shape of a telescope lens. So glass is placed in the furnace, the furnace is spun up and heated, and the glass cools to roughly the shape of the telescope lens.
