I can recall a message either here or on another list where a physicist said he 
thought CAS was impossible. 


CAS is said to be achieved by applying an alternating magnetic field to a 
specimen being frozen, and the effect can be demonstrated using a container of 
water which freezes without expansion to a glassy state. No one has been able to
find out hard details, even from the patent. If it does work and someone can do
a simple experiment to reproduce the effect in a freezer by passing an 
appropriate (what value?) alternating current at the appropriate frequency (what
value?) around a coil (how many turns?) surrounding a plastic drinks bottle of 
water then we can all believe it. If this cannot be done, then I suggest healthy
scepticism. 


Maybe I am wrong, but I thought the purpose of patent disclosure was so that 
other scientists could verify that the patent actually works.

  I've been hearing a lot on Cryonet about this CAS freezer stuff, and  
  it would certainty be wonderful if true, but can anybody find an  
  indication that one word of what they are typing onto websites is  
  true? I can't. I know how to type too, but that doesn't mean  
  everything I type is true.
