Using 2 stir bars for a stir plate?

Has anyone ever used 2 stir bars with their stir plate? Would it make any difference......more aeration, faster and healthier yeast growth?
I've read where some people do this but I'm not sure it would make any difference. Might give it a try this weekend.

I think it would throw one or both of them and see no advantage.
Try it with just water first and then stop trying to build a better mouse trap. Don't you have a real job.

Please explain, what is a job? As for a mouse trap, I could borrow that naked cat of yours to kill mice since all my cat does is hide in the closest all day.
I think about brewing all day long and am truly obsessed. You're just lucky I don't call you at 2 am with recipe ideas I have in my mind.
In fact, I planned on trying it with water first.

Yeah, that wouldn't work. Sphynx don't really understand that they are cats. Bela seems to think she is Dog-Monkey and would just end up sleeping with the mouse.

No worries there either. At that time of the morning Bela is normally stomping across my head. Usually just after visiting the litter box.

How would you keep them from crashing into one another without having sets of stir magnets spinning in your stir plate?

I decided to try it and it sort of works but makes lots of noise. I think I had too much water in it anyway.
But, one did just fine after 12 hours.
