X-Message-Number: 2206 From: (Thomas Donaldson) Subject: Re: cryonics: #2203-#2205 Date: Wed, 5 May 93 20:09:33 PDT Dear Brian: About the cold room: I too happen to be a neuropreservation case (at least, that's what I currently intend). If dewar storage caused significantly more damage than storage at a higher temperature, I'd certainly choose the higher temperature. It seems to me that the basic idea of your design is fine, but you've been spending too much time and effort on a facility much larger than we now need. Can you rework your planning for something significantly smaller? I know that the proportion of insulation to storage space will go up, and there will be other changes (like a need for more LN2?) but I can't believe that your basic design can't be downsized a good deal. In other words, I second the suggestion that you change your design focus a bit. Best and long life, Thomas Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=2206
