X-Message-Number: 23419 From: Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2004 07:36:04 EST Subject: Crystal reduction An idea occurred to me that may have merit in reduction of crystal formation. Movement (stirring) a supersaturated solution significantly reduces crystal size. Could sound waves by used to prevent ice crystallization? Too much power in the waves would cause heating (microwaves). A lower frequency could be initiated as the core tempurature approaches freezing, and its intensity increased until freezing is completed. It would be easy to test.
