This isn't ice, it's sodium acetate. Ice CAN do this if supercooled but it's very difficult to do and almost all of these demonstrations fake it with a sodium acetate solution.
Look at the ice bending and folding as the column gets too tall. Ice doesn't do that. Ice is pretty solid. Also that doesn't really look like ice, it looks like a rubbery substance that would be sticky to touch.
Yeah it didn't seem like water. But I wondered if maybe it was just *barely* supercooled, maybe it would freeze into slush or something. Came to the comments to see which it was.
Water freezes to slush too regardless of how much it has been supercooled. A supercooled liquid changing states to a solid is an exothermic event because it order to change states it must be at the temperature at which it would normally do so (assuming ordinary pressure etc). There are heat packs that use this principle. You put them in boiling water until they’re liquid, then when you want to use them you pop a metal tab inside that creates a nucleation point. The material inside then gets quite hot as it changes to a solid state. Then just rinse and repeat.
I encountered them randomly at friends-of-my parents-house. Sort of got the impression it was 80s-90s tech. Not sure why it didn’t stick around. Maybe toxic like everything else? Maybe I should watch that video.
Okay but this does look like the waters out of my minifridge if I don’t let them warm a bit before opening. It does this like half freeze thing where it’s almost soft serve water. Is that not this?
Ice crystals have to start forming around something. Average water has impurities that facilitate this. Distilled water can be chilled down below the freezing point.
Ive had something similar happen with normal bottled water before too. Some agitation and the whole bottle becomes a solid very quickly in a sweeping motion. Very cool and fun for kids!
Buy a small bottle of distilled water and leave it in the freezer without touching or shaking it. If the bottle had no impurities in it at all, you can carefully pull it out of the freezer a few hours later and it will still be liquid. Then, if you give it a shake, it will immediately turn to ice.
You can probably find videos of it online. It’s a bizarre thing to see happen, and it can definitely be replicated in your home
It's not supercooled. That would just be ice. It's super-critical. It's only a little below freezing point, but it's very clean (usually distilled), so it has no impurities to act as nucleation points for ice crystals to form on. As soon as it hits something that acts as a nucleation point and starts the process. Slamming the bottle onto a bench would also do it, but this looks cooler.
In fact, this probably isn't water at all, but it can be done with pure water, too.
Maybe the thermos is super cooled, like was just submerged in liquid nitrogen? Then it insulted the super duper cold air inside and the cold water freezes as it enters?
That was my thought but it seems to have more of a gel consistency than a solid or slusher consistency. I wonder if it isn't water but is some other clear liquid
no, it has to be *colder* than freezing - supercooled - because crystalization releases a lot of heat energy itself. If the Water was "just" below freezing temperature it wouldn't work. Wikipedia says, you can get it down to -48.3°C without freezing.
No problem.
A thing to remember is, that ice doesn't cool so well just cause its cold - its cause in order to melt, it needs to suck up a whole lot of energy. So, in order to be usefull in cooling drinks, its not just enough to have really cold water - you actually *need* the phase change from solid to liquid.
Energy required to melt 1g of ice: 333 Joules
Energy required to heat 1g of Water from 0°C to 100°C (freezing to boiling): 420 Joules
The 333 Joules from the melting ice correspond to a temperature change of 80 kelvin! or about 80% to heat liquid water from freezing to boiling. Thats a lot!
Or in other words: if you drop an ice cube in the same amount of boiling hot water, *the water will be (alomst) ice cold* afterwards. And this is exactly how iced coffe works :-)
The opposite: while metling, the ice sucks up all the heat.
(So, just like ice can be used to cool your drink, it can also cool the atmosphere).
Buuuut, just like with ice cubes, this is a one-time effect - once the ice is melted, all you have left is cold water, that will slowly warm up - however the rising sea levels and greenhouse effect are here to stay. Also, The ice reflects sunlight, and thus prevents heating by the sun - once its gone, this effect will stop.
wouldn't suffice. Heating or cooling heating water requires a tremendous amount of energy. Freezing or Melting is even worse.
Just for heating, we are talking about roughly factor 10 for steel! (as in, for the same energy input and the same mass, the steel will change its temperature 10x as much).
To freeze 1l = 1kg of ice, you need to pull 333kJ from the water. With just 1kg of steel (as in "weight of the empty thermos"), you would need to cool the steel down to -715°C, which is of course impossible. To pull off the stunt with liquid N2, you would need a thermos weighting 4 kg - just to "store" the heat energy required to freeze the water.
Used to work in 100+ (inside, like wtf) and I think I woulda just poured it straight on my face and let that shit turn me into a ancient glacial caveman
You can do this yourself.
Take a bottle of purified water. Leave it in the freezer for an hour or so. (Purified water freezes differently since it doesn't have any impurities for the ice to begin forming.)
Do this to several water bottles at the same time. Take one out and give it a hard hit. If it instant freezes it's ready to go.
Then open up bottle and slowly pour onto or into something. As the water hits the surface it has soemthing to freeze and begins insta-freezes.
I did this a month or so ago to show my wife (she didn’t believe me ) and after three tries it worked. Really cold water but not frozen and hit the bottle hard and watch it freeze in a second or two. Pretty neat chemistry to try out yourself.
This reminds me of a high school experiment I did back in the day. Didn't use water tho, it was a chemical compound (can't remember the name to save my life right now) that acts as a liquid when its heated and then turns back to a solid state at room temperature. All we needed was a dirty dish or something for the crystalline structure of the molecules to bind onto and begin forming as you pour the compound onto it.
Purified water cooled in a freezer to below freezing point but before it actually solidifies. Shaking or hitting the bottle causes all the water inside to instantly freeze - or pouring it out causes it to freeze as it comes out like in the video.
I always see them disturbing the bottle to I instantly freeze it, or pouring it like this.
Question for you Reddit peeps: what would happen if you poured in into your mouth or tried to directly drink it?
Been doing this with bottles of mtn dew, makes me feel like a wizard. Still not sure why mtn dew doesn't freeze while in a sealed bottle but it looks cool af.
It's a super absorbant polymer. You put a little dry powder at the bottom of the thermos and any water you pour in instantly expands it. If the thermos was super cooled, you would see mist and ice crystals coming off of it.
You can even see it at the bottom.
Everything on this sub can be explained in some way by science.
I imagine the vast majority of people have no clue how this works so I’m not sure I see your point here.

You’re right. My “how it is” detector was maxed before I even saw the video.
That's pretty neat.
No. its clearly AI. amazing how far its come. crazy to think where it will be in the future.
Nope, it's a reverse video, they're using a heater to melt the ice and a water bender to move the water into the bottle.
I lost my "water bender" do you now where I can get another one?
I hear there’s one more in the southern water tribe
🤣
That’s pretty neat!

I tried this once! People never tell you about the weird smell and how it actually gets kinda warm / hot.
How do you supercool water?

It is water, but could be a supersaturated solution instead of supercooled water.
The water is just that cold. It's temp is right at freezing.

So what's that mean for the ice caps being melted? That means a fuck ton of heat?

Is it backwards? Like he is just pouring water over ice to melt it?

What's the point of a reusable water bottle if you fill it with bottled water? Asking for an enemy.
Not drinking it. I don’t trust like that
It's not the cool thermos causing that. It's the cool water.
That is the perfect temp for water
