Frost-fighting machine offers promise to grape growers - St. Catharines Standard - Ontario, CA

Mother Nature's wrath was never so evident to Niagara grape growers as it was in 2005.

An extremely cold winter severely damaged vines and wiped out half of that year's grape crop.

Now, a new freeze and frost protection system currently being tested by the Vineland Research and Innovation Centre offers weather-weary farmers some hope.

Called Tempwave, the 25-foot tower releases low-level microwave radiant heat that prevents frost damage to crops within a one-acre radius. Similar to a microwave oven, the device created by U.S.-based technology company Raytheon emits low-powered radio waves "tuned specifically to water molecules, causing them to vibrate and heat up just enough to keep from freezing," according to a Vineland press release.
