A magnetic spinner device using an impeller system to disperse heat and stir contents there-above is disclosed herein. A motor turning the impeller is offset from a center line extending vertically through the device. The impeller, however, is centered with fan blades pushing air downwards as heat rises from a heat source placed there-below, such as between legs which support the impeller and bowl of the device, the bowl being used to hold a flask and/or substances to be heated. The turning of the motor is translated to the turning of the impeller by way of two reels connected by a belt and placed within a lower housing with a removably connected lower portion. In this manner, the electric parts (the motor) and spared the brunt of the heat by being off-center while the heat rises upwards. The simplification of parts leaves less points of potential failure compared to the prior art as does the movement of electric parts away from being above a heat source. 1. An impeller system comprising:a first housing comprising a lower spindle;a portal within said first housing having a narrower middle section between two wider sections and a lower indented section within a raised border, the narrower section being formed by at least one flange extending radially into the portal;a first reel and a second reel rotatably connected to each other by way of a belt, said lower spindle extending through a portal within said first reel; anda second housing with a removably attached lower portion, wherein said first reel, said second reel, and said belt are in said second housing.2. The impeller system of claim 1 , wherein lower spindle extends from under said narrower middle section.3.
