experiment A: introduction ||| considerations
====================================================
Before crushing the seed.
The single seed, before being crushed, can show that it has not undergone any change. But also it can be changed to a greater or lesser extent in color and tenderness.
I understand that this happens depending on the number of fatty acid molecules that have been involved in the change to the same configuration, during very brief episodes of interactions, at precise critical angular velocity values, on which the crusher may linger for very short fractions of a second, randomly.
Then, the seed is slowly crushed.
Results.
In a series of experiments A, done on seeds of the same top quality, you have a series of wildly different results.
The first sign of success.
When you apply the pressure you are already able to understand the degree of success of the experiment as it takes place: the easier you get the seed flattened, the better.
In fact, once you have finished with the motion, and the seed is still, the pressure that you have to exert on the seed is different, most of the times.
At best, the pressure needed to crash it, may be even zero, when it occurs that a seed collapses on itself.
It is when, in rare cases, a thin, completely transparent film remains, composed almost only of mucilage, with oil spread over and around (it occurs only with optimal quality seeds).
However, sometimes the phenomenon may not occur for most of the molecules, because it occurs only at given discontinuous critical data
Causes of negative outcome.
In summary, the reasons for the negative outcome of an "experiment A" were attributed by me to a number of circumstances:
- poor viability of the seed;
- pressure applied with too much force;
- insufficient dissipation of heat from the seed during the two stages of the experiment.
However, the most important reason is that, most of the times, the phenomenon takes place for only a fraction of the molecules, because it occurs only at critical discrete values of angular velocity, while the metal crusher is made to move in a casual manner, and provided that the discard heat may be released out of the system, in the required quantity.
Take note that, all the fatty acid molecules, affected by a useful /critical discrete value of angular velocity, are in competition, among themselves, to release the discard heat. Which depends by the quantity of the dissipative flow, at that moment, i.e. in good measure, by the manner the experiment is carried out.
