System and apparatus for moving air in an oven

Abstract

An apparatus for moving air in an oven includes a heat reactive housing configured to be positioned in an oven. A fan is located in the heat reactive housing and configured to draw air through the housing. The fan draws air through the housing to move the air from a first section of the oven to a second section of the oven.

         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the first section of the electric oven is positioned below the second section of the electric oven and the fan draws the air upward to the second section. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the housing includes at least one of a base or a hanging mechanism that can be positioned on a rack inside the electric oven. 
     
     
         7 . An apparatus for moving air in an oven, the apparatus comprising:
 a heat reactive housing configured to be positioned in an oven, wherein the housing includes a first opening and a second opening, wherein the first opening and the second opening are formed on the same side of the housing, and wherein a channel is formed between the first opening and the second opening,   a fan located in the channel of the heat reactive housing and configured to draw air through the channel between the first opening and the second opening, wherein the fan draws air through the channel to move the air from a first section of the oven to a second section of the oven,   wherein a speed of the fan is adjustable, and   wherein a direction of the fan is adjustable between a first direction that draws the air from the first opening to the second opening and a second direction that draws the air from the second opening to the first opening, wherein the direction of the fan is adjustable based on a program that is configured to rotate the fan in a first direction for the first predetermined period of time and to rotate the fan in the second direction for the second predetermined period of time.   
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 7 , further comprising a battery to power the fan, wherein the battery is located in the heat reactive housing to control a temperature of the battery. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein the speed and direction of the fan are controllable using a mobile device. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein the fan is formed from a heat reactive material. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein the first opening is a lower opening and the second opening is an upper opening, wherein the fan draws air upward from the first opening to the second opening. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein the first opening is a lower opening and the second opening is an upper opening, wherein the fan draws air downward from the second opening to the first opening. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein the housing includes at least one of a base or a hanging mechanism that can be positioned on a rack inside the oven. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein the apparatus is removably positioned in the oven. 
     
     
         15 . A system for moving air in an oven, the system comprising two air movement devices, wherein the two air movement devices each include:
 a heat reactive housing configured to be positioned in an oven,   a channel formed in the heat reactive housing,   a fan located in the heat reactive housing and configured to draw hot air from the oven through the channel, wherein the fan draws the hot air through the channel to move the hot air from a first section of the oven to a second section of the oven,   wherein the at least two air movement devices are arranged with openings positioned in respective planes that are arranged substantially parallel to one another to move the hot air in conjunction with one another so that each air movement device of the two air movement devices moves air toward another air movement device of the two air movement devices.   
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 15 , wherein the two air movement devices each include a battery located in the respective heat reactive housing and configured to power the respective fan. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 15 , wherein the first section of the oven is positioned above the second section of the oven and the two air movement devices draw the hot air downward to the second section. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 15 , wherein the first section of the oven is positioned below the second section of the oven and the two air movement devices draw the hot air upward to the second section.
