We request any information available on previous attempts/successes or IDEAS on how this may be accomplished. The project is melting wood. We believe that it can be accomplished in one of three ways. 1) Extreme heat applied via infrared radiation in a vacuum. 2) Extreme heat applied via infrared radiation in pure carbon dioxide. 3) Treatment with hydrogen peroxide and exposure to heat. has anyone heard anymore from these guys? I would like to know what the current thoughts are. kelvin .
