Soft Nuts

 Introduction of Fissures to Reduce Hardness
  (+6)
(+6) 		  [vote for,

Introduction of fissures to nuts would reduce their hardness reducing the required bite force and wear on mouth parts including teeth and etc.

Fissures cold be created by (maybe) dramatic hot/cold temprature change or sonic booms. Would look the same but would have little cracks under microscopes like marble or diamonds.

Been through that. Won't work.
Still a hard nut.

       Xray each nut to detect the hard spots. Use constructive interference of two ultrasonic speakers to break those up.

       Would there be sufficient difference in density for X-rays to discriminate ?   

       Ultrasound might work; what's needed is an energy input that is preferentially absorbed by regions of higher density/rigidity.

       Phase-contrast X-ray should work.

       Good idea. Placing the nut on a rotating stage would allow a sort of CT image to be produced, enhancing targeting.

       Better to mount the CT scanning apparatus on a large mobile gantry, so as to allow full analasys without disturbing the position or orientation of the nut?
