Abstract
A method for forming crystallized forms of water is provided. Water is maintained in a container. A field is applied to the water, and the water is maintained in liquid form at a below freezing temperature via the applied field. Movement of the water in liquid form is created out of the container and ice is formed from the water upon the movement from the container.
Claims11
A method for forming crystallized forms of water, comprising:
- maintaining water in a container;
- determining an identity of the water via one of machine learning, utilizing a look up table, and provided by a user;
- applying a field to the water;
- maintaining the water in liquid form at a below freezing temperature via the applied field;
- and
- creating movement of the water in liquid form out of the container in which the water in maintained, wherein ice is formed from the water upon movement from the container.
