- I was walking through our local warehouse mega-store the other day
- when I spotted one of those piezo-electric humidifiers cheerfully
- spewing a very fine mist, which totally evaporated after about
- 4 inches of passage through the air. It occurred to me that this
- should be a very useful method of creating extremely fine powders
- of soluble salts. By simply varying the concentration, you should
- be able to achieve arbitrarily fine powders, perhaps sub-micron.
-
- Has anyone thought of this? Do you think it would work?
