Every year, the topic of growing single crystals becomes more and more relevant. Scientific and technological progress is rapidly moving into the future, and the technologies for growing single crystals remain unchanged for a long time. This article describes quite comprehensively and simply the process of growing single crystals by saturating the melting tank with free electrons, using the physical properties of some step-up transformers. In particular, a car ignition coil is a transformer capable of generating an electric charge that is easily transferred to a device or objects that are technologically unrelated to each other. The proposed method for obtaining single crystal structures is interesting in that the size of the resulting product is limited only by the size of the casting mold or the volume of the melting tank. Constantly growing demand forces manufacturers to expand production, automate most production processes, burn a large amount of non-renewable energy sources, create mountains of waste, and at the same time the cost of grown single crystals remains consistently high. The technology described in this article is able to solve most of the economic and environmental problems of industrial production of single crystals.
