ABSTRACT:
A crystal growing apparatus primarily for use by hobbyists and for classroom instruction comprises a container for holding a solute and aqueous solvent, a heat source in the form of a light bulb placed at the base of said container and spaced from the center thereof, a motor placed at the top of the container and having an associated rotating shaft, a filament for holding the crystal in the aqueous solvent-solute mixture, a fastening means for holding said filament coaxial with the motor shaft and enabling the filament to be vertically adjusted with respect to the aqueous mixture and a thermostat connected with the motor and light bulb to accurately control evaporation of the solvent and movement of the solute back and forth from the dissolved-to-crystal-line state by means of the thermal current set up by the off-centered heat source and intermittent operation of the heat source and motor. The crystal growing device is relatively simple in construction yet enables the formation of large single crystals of a wide variety of substances and is so constructed so as to be most useful by crystal growing hobbyists and students studying this chemical phenomenon.
