Abstract: Uniform sized and shaped spheres are formed by applying a minute periodic disturbance to a low viscosity liquid material. Pressure forces the material through at least one orifice in a crucible as a steady laminar stream. The stream enters an enclosed controlled temperature solidification environment which contains at least one heat transfer medium. A charging means is applied to the stream as the stream exits the crucible and breaks into a plurality of spheres to deflect the spheres as they pass through an electric field. The enclosed controlled temperature solidification environment cools and substantially solidifies the spheres.

Abstract translation: 通过对低粘度液体材料施加微小的周期性扰动来形成均匀的尺寸和形状的球体。 压力迫使材料通过坩埚中的至少一个孔作为稳定的层流。 流进入包含至少一个传热介质的封闭的受控温度固化环境。 当流离开坩埚时，充电装置被施加到流中，并且当它们通过电场时，它们分裂成多个球体以使球体偏转。 封闭的受控温度固化环境冷却并基本上固化球体。
