Magnetic Surface Repels Ice
Nov-11-16
A new magnetic surface able to repel ice is both more affordable and more robust than current liquid-based icephobic surface.Developed by a team from the University of Houston, the MAGnetic Slippery Surface (MAGSS) consists of a piece of material with a magnetic coating one side and a layer of magnetic fluid on the other side. The fluid layer is meant to be placed facing out, forming a barrier that prevents drops of water from sticking and causes them to roll off.
The MAGSS material can also operate at lower temperatures than conventional hydrophobic solutions, which makes it promising for use on airplane wings or power lines.

This innovation has an application on bridges prone to ice formation and damage to vehicles and potential crashes

Excellent for leading edge on aircraft wings.
As noted on leading edge hydraulic leak on aircraft wing. Dissaption, is due to viscosity plus,air pressure,(SPEED).
As the above may cause surface seperation and movement, a negative long dimple on the surface of the wing,may direct this seperation to a collection point whereby the re- introduction of the accumulated may be exited to perform the job intended using the same asset of seperation.
