Another approach (not in an "open container", but in a "closed" one) is
to build a cylinder *curved* at the radius from your polar axis. This allows
for a steady rate (with the exception of refraction effects). Come to think
of it, it might also work in an "open" container... but other problems apply,
most notably the instability due to "bobbing".
