Not yet. I've been way too busy with work, etc., to do much mead experimentation, and I've been traveling nearly every week for the past couple of months; I haven't been home enough to borrow the ultrasonic cleaner from work yet.
Has anyone seen this?!!!

Found this article on New Scientist today. Instead of ultrasound, they are using electric fields. Anybody else see some potential here? The article seems to documented and cited fairly well but I would like to do some further research on it.
They also mention the ultrasound method at the end.

I had not seen it yet, and since I'm in ABQ again this week, I have very little time to read stuff (even getting online is a chore). But I'll check it out later in the week when I'm home.
BTW, New Scientist, although a British publication (and thus somewhat more reputable than the likes of Popular Science here on this side of the pond), is known for publishing "not quite ready for primetime" articles from time to time -- I'll have to dig into this deeply enough to convince myself that it isn't just pseudoscience.

Well, I for one KINETIC find any CURRENT information here that would LEAD me to a POSITIVE or NEGATIVE position on either of these links. Call me BIPOLAR but I just seem to run AC/DC on these kind of CHARGED (p)articles. In the end, I suppose I BATTERY just make and age my meads like I’ve always done.
There are definitely some holes in your theory Sandman. Ion thinking that we should probe this one deeper. Maybe it's just my magnetic personality, but I field there is more to this than simple surface effect. Litz wire this one down and get to the flux of the matter. Resistance is futile, although I do have the capacity to chip in.
Wire you afraid to make a stand? I bet you could generate either a plus or minus decision on the issue. It's re-volt-ing that you won't. Coulomb, you can do it!
Call me on my cell when you do.
Is this another thread to be inducted into the Pun Hall (effect) of Fame?

Maybe we should take a pole to electron the impedance of these two highly charged opinions. I know I’m taking a rather direct approach to the current topic, but since this is my first real effort, I need to develop a list of puns to spark the right amount of resistance from the masters.
I don't know, maybe I should just nuke this line of thought and see if I can't radiate some interest in using another form of energy.

Sandman & Wildaho,
You have just been inducted to Oskaar & Wrathwide's Pun Masters Union #OIDH82BU, probationary status of course. We meet to air our wines. There will always be those who can't contain their spirits and pop their corks prematurely... they need to learn to keep things bottled up longer, IMNSHO.
Have to shovel snow, off to work... possibly.
Cheers,
Wrathwilde

I’m now radiating with a new core of energy. The others will all be blue with envy. (Yes I do mean blue. Contrary to popular belief core material does glow blue rather than green… been there, done that, seen the glow, quite a show) 
While I rarely wine, I regularly mead to hive a group discussion about my colony of recipes. I’m also always buzzing to find out what input my queen has to submit. I may bee out of my mind, but my honey always ends up giving me input. Then I take an informal poll(en) my kids add in their ideas. I’m not trying to make aphid(eral) case out of anything, but I hive my ways and others hive theirs.
No snow down here... It was about 60 and partly cloudy down here this afternoon.

Cherenkov said it well Sandman. I sometimes feel blue too.
But, to be true to the thread without a highjack (and that is hard to do when punning) we probably should stick to the topic.
Let me sound you out on the on the ultra importance of caps_phisto's original post vs. my later method. Will ultrasound age your mead or is an electrical field more effective?
Aegean your meads the old fashioned way might have been fine for the ancient Greeks but I think we can do it quicker. Our ferments are measured in weeks now instead of months or years. Can't we find a way to make the enjoyment phase happen sooner? I might be 180 degrees out here, but I think we can.
Maybe we should walk the Planck on this one. There are constants involved here but which of those constants are actually variables when we throw in other forms of energy? It could be a quantum shift.
Avogadro now, we'll continue later...

All kidding aside, I'd love to find out there was a "magic bullet" to age wines/meads in a fraction of the time actual time requires, but I'm fairly skeptical about both the magnetic and ultrasonic options here. I'd seriously need to be an actual part of a real life demonstration before I plonked down the money for this fairly attractive shortcut.
