What? No, I'm still here! haha Once I get to an actual computer I'll type up my plan.

How do they carbonate it without carbon dioxide?

Hm. MIT disagrees. I have to conduct further research.

I think part of the appeal to doing this with liquid co2 is the interesting mouth feel that it creates.

Right, but would the carbonation be efficiently contained? That's my concern.

I'm actually completely serious. But it would be an amazing obituary, I have to admit. "MAN KILLED BY DELICIOUS DESSERT" As for the above diagram, that's what I envisioned too, I just need to figure out the details of effectively combining the liquids.

Hm. I don't think I have the resources to create a pressure vessel as described. I'd rather not do it in batches. I suppose I'll go find an engineer for advice. If anyone has anything else to contribute, let me know!

I don't think I have the resources to create an intensely high pressure vessel to compress the mixture. What do you mean by Venturis relying on low pressure? I just need to spray the liquids together to mix them.

Also, could I use a Venturi chamber to mix the liquids?

You raise fair points! Also, I was considering doing that with mixing them, but the only problem is that I would think that would use too much liquid CO2 at once. Go back 1-2 pages and read the MIT study on carbonated ice cream.

Well, I'm essentially going for some sort of carbonated sorbet. The MIT project that was posted has the same application - liquid CO2 being sprayed/mixed against the mixture to carbonate and freeze it. How do I do it, then?

You're awesome for getting the name. Dolomieu, that's awesome! I wonder if his process carbonates it like the MIT process.

Yeah, I was originally trying to just ask about liquid CO2. But then I found out about the huge amount of insight this forum has! :) Gonna see if anyone has any insight into that posted MIT project link thing.

Do it. I love that show.

Yeah!!! :D

This is awesome. What do you mean by a "drip"? Will this process take a while?

Thank you for your help! :) Have a good night.

Not just think - I've read up on stuff like this done before. They used LIQUID CO2 to do it, in a similar fashion - spraying liquid CO2 at ice cream mixture, in their case. I'm not doing it with ice cream but identical application. How did they do it, then? The process I described is what they...

Wooo! Ice clumps aren't a problem (I can easily take care of them), and yes, the energy absorption should account for that. Now to build the mixing container... hmm

PRECISELY. It conjures more liquid co2 using my patented egg-aluminum mixture. Seriously though - it's basically a slushy maker with different ingredients, lol :) the co2 application is precisely the same. Also, the tubing would be rather short - how fast would it turn to gas? I only need it...
