Doups is such a nerd... but then again... look who's talking.

Doups of CAN: see, i read this thing on how plasma cutters work...
Surf N Waves 04: right
Doups of CAN: they get an electrode get an inert gas (whatever that means) and stimulate the electrons with an electrode, thus creating really high temperatures
Doups of CAN: once the electrons are excited enough...
Doups of CAN: the gas goes to the fourth stage of matter...plasma
Doups of CAN: now, i got to thinking...
Surf N Waves 04: you're a nerd... but go on.
Doups of CAN: if you can heat up something that quickly with an electrode, why can't u cool things down just as quickly
Doups of CAN: cause all you're doing when you heat stuff up is encourage motion on a molecular level, so why can't you use the same process to discourage motion?
Surf N Waves 04: okay i'm getting this now
Surf N Waves 04: it sounds pretty simple
Doups of CAN: i'm thinking, you can get an electrode to attracte positively charged particles of a substance, thereby fixating them in one spot and in essence, freezing them
Surf N Waves 04: yeah, that sounds just about right
Doups of CAN: the only thing that bothers me is that it's so simple that anyone anywhere could have considered and tried this before, i'm trying to figure out why if it's been done, and if not , why
Surf N Waves 04: right
Doups of CAN: cause the applications of this would be huge
Doups of CAN: and yes, i'm a nerd

Well at least he admits it... but this kid is a genius. I'm proud to be his friend and socialization mentor.
