Dynamic Defrosting Removes Ice Ten Times Faster

Dynamic Defrosting Removes Ice Ten Times Faster
Jul-13-17
An innovative dynamic defrosting technology could eliminate icing on car windshields and airplane wings.

The water-repellent technology, from a team at Virginia Tech, relies on a hydrophobic aluminum surface that traps pockets of air beneath the growing sheet of frost. These air pockets make the frost “highly mobile,” causing it to shed up to ten times faster as it melts, even on low-incline surfaces.
