the idea of cycling wing anti ice is used on turboprops wing de icing boots, which are on the leading edge of the wing
the boots cycle (expand and decompress) at a predetermined rate to allow build up of ice, then shed it by breaking it. no actual heat element is applied other than the heat of the bleed air blowing in the boots to expand them.
but as far as jets and airbi go, i'd listen to the mad scientist, he
is mad...
"our" systems are fully evaporative - thanks, i learn something new everyday
