    • silica microspheres being explored by Ice911.  "hollow glass microspheres"  "Our solution can be thought of as a kind of small, fine, white beach sand that floats. In a sense, the material is a lot like snow. The reflective beads stick to ice and water on contact, and their chemical composition ensures they don't attract oil-based pollutants."

We have long shared using kites to make ice. But Dr. Steve Desch and team have focused on making ice by wind power using sea water at the artic ocean.
