I can't watch videos where I work, so could someone briefly explain what this does? Is it anything to do with actual microwave radiation, or is it using accelerated conduction?

EDIT: if only YouTube is blocked... there's a video available here: http://www.v-tex-technology.co.uk/ It mentions nothing about "microwave", and is just a deceptive title on that food blog's part.

It's nothing to do with microwaves. It sloshes the drink around in a bath of chilled water while rotating it. It appears to save energy by keeping the chilled water thermally isolated from the environment rather than keeping an entire fridge cool. Very similar to the Salted Ice Water method[1]

It's not deceptive, it's figurative. Not everything has to be rigorously literal.

Enough people have already complained about the title that I'd say the author made a stupid choice. It was confusing until reading the article, and I'd say it was link-bait for suggesting some kind of new physics technology.

It's basically a video of people looking busy in front of CADs and a woman coming straight from a catwalk trying to use the machine without breaking her nails.

I also had the distinct feeling that the advertisement director gave the order to make as unnecessarily large gestures as possible. "OK honey, now show an unprecedented amount of enthusiasm while you open this machines beer can hatch."
