Abstract
The configuration of a feedstock material is controlled by bringing it into contact with at least a first gas moving against it at a location with an area and thickness of the feedstock liquid that forms drops or fibers of a selected size. In one embodiment, drops of agricultural input materials are formed for spraying on agricultural fields. In another embodiment, nanofibers of materials such as chitosan or metals are formed. In another embodiment seeds are planted with gel.
Claims1
A method of forming fibers comprising the steps of:
- forming the at least one of a formable material containing the substance;
- causing movement of individual streams of the formable material into a working zone;
- stretching the streams into fibers of the desired length with at least one energy field;
- and drying and collecting the fibers.
