Myth busted: Boiling water in the air in zero degrees

[30martybro]

Idiots

[iihippoii]

Idiots.

[lastkings12]

i was watching fairly odd parents right now

[abdulkasim47]

Lol You Mean You Think Its Busted Haaha

[kbj42016]

How is he holding water at 212Deg. F. in his hands? H2O is not boiling unless it is on the stove. Pick up the pan and go outside, temp drops immediately. 205 degree water is not boiling.

[1qa2ws3ed41]

That was dumb. I have no idea who told these people that boiling water wont hit the ground in 0 degrees. But someone needs to set them straight.

[rockband905]

well that was good, but wait until -30C.

[senciz]

LoL he is kind of a dumb ass really. If he only realized that he threw about a half a gallon of water in the air and only about half of that hit the ground. Who cares if it hits the ground or not!

[Cambone13]

zero degrees? way off. its needs to be well below 0 (F). they did it at the Mt. Washington Observatory. You didn't bust shit. 

[KSURVEY]

@Cambone13 I tried this in -30 F and water barely hit the ground and it was all steam. This was done in 0 F. It does not work as well. Yes it was kind of a joke!

[xXITPXx]

i said that's busted!

[urjnlegend]

STFU! where's Adam and Jaime!?

[peypeyneekin]

if you were in zero degree temps you would have gloves on and you wouldnt have jeans on

[cam7z7]

@slakerguy But there is a Myth you can do it at 0 degrees.

[212masterchief]

dude its supposed to be like negative 42 degrees out

[metalheadneko]

:( you did it wrong

[bijm007]

Wow, what in depth reporting on your part. Great job Sherlock.

[benboarder09]

youre dumber then my 3rd graders.

[backyardsounds]

Not cold enough, guy. it really works, for I have done it myself.

[XzFpsFaStErxZ]

it has to be under 30 genious

[dognrunn]

incorrect test I personally think plausible

[TCATDWPABR]

weenie -.- Your face is busted.

[jolinekitty3]

mythbusters nock off.

[chickenpoper]

are you an idiot? it abvoiosly vaperized if you look closely, in fact only a fraction of the water didn't vaperize and hit the ground

[flynvfae]

oh.. this guy is cool

[HALOvsCOD895]

PENDEJO!

[swrighteaton]

Is this Centigrade or Fahrenheit? Either way 0 degrees is not cold enough. -30 F is usually the point at which this phenomenon occurs.

[SittingMooseShaman]

...hah, hah-hh! In Sibera... There IS NO 'boiling' of water to begin with!!

[HappyMistakes]

@slakerguy I know your comment was posted a year ago.

But, I cannot help responding to it.

I don't know what they're teaching kids in elementary English these days but the

correct form of "your" YOU'RE looking for is "you're" NOT "your".

Even at -20 F that water would not freeze before it hit the ground. Unless you meant -20 C.

But even then I doubt it would be cold enough outside.

Think before you post or you'll only end up looking mentally retarded, which you did.

[idlovetoclimbthat]

@HappyMistakes -20F is colder than -20C, holmes. Look it up before you post or you'll end up looking mentally retarded, which you did.

[DjHardaFasta]

@idlovetoclimbthat yeah because -20c is only -4f and -20f = -28c

[alphabetictrust]

slaker guy haha funny comment

[kjbigslim]

yep. you sir are a real life retard. I've seen this in rexburg Idaho when the temp. hit -20

[drew00998]

...Im in Canada .. i can go outside at any time and do this..in fact..i have done it many times..

Its always worked -.-

[StakkelsJimm]

What is he doing?

[albinorhinofish]

so funny i forgot to laugh

[SynergyRSJ]

Your a retard!

[NuclearMellon]

the water is not boiling, the only place that water could boil at zero degrease is if you go into space

[kakakevin1]

duh, let's throw ice cube up in the air in 60 degree weather and see if they melt before they hit the ground. duh nope, myth busted.

[tghill]

I've done it repeatedly today in -29, then -26, then -22, -18 and finally -21 (Celcius of course). Works EVERY time, but the hissing sound at -29 is pretty eerie

[OmniPresent]

@tghill Try doing it at -43 Celsius.

[MishiChuuu]

There's only like a shitload of ther videos that are clearly saying you did it wrong.

[CHEGGERZ2K]

I WANT MY 13 SECONDS BACK

[GTILOUD]

put some ass into at least get some height on your toss

[NastyNate9120]

check out the one in Dalton, New Hampshire where i live. plenty cold enough and gets colder

[picaticatara]

u almost wiped ur face off

[sonictales69]

haha you think your a myth buster. they woulda tryed more experiments than that

[nasonguy]

I'd say you're busted.

[a65b43]

Try blowing bubbles at -20. What would happen?? 0_o

[wildman3788]

@a65b43 It's actually really cool. You can hold them in your hand like crystal. If it gets cold enough this year I'll post for everyone to see. It's been too warm so far to have it work.

[a65b43]

@wildman3788 SWEET! Yeah definitely! It got -36 here last year, so I might try it myself too!

[SierzantYelonek]

@slakerguy i tried that at -30 but with non boiled water... nothing special happened. But if you have pressure washer under -5 its quite effective in making snow

[racecarhannah]

I did it in Alaska during a -55 degree day - it doesn't hit the ground (at least not in the same condition it came out of the measuring cup).

BUT at 0 only.... I've never tried it.

[tordern22]

in norway this winter it was -46C... Some people over here will definitely say its confirmed.. fucking noob...

[meak911]

u mean ass posters are tin hearted.

[isokessu]

@slakerguy -20 is nothing.. it has to be probably at least -35 or -45 Celsius

[iceyflames7]

@isokessu

No, -20 is just fine.

[JanaHeyer]

Has to be done at -40.

[GhostInTheShell29]

It says at zero degrees, so anyone complaining about not being cold enough or saying he looks stupid, he proves exactly what he set out to prove. Obviously at a certain temperature it would freeze....

Just because you didn't get the result you wanted, doesn't mean the result is wrong.

[iceyflames7]

@GhostInTheShell29

The result is right, but the experiment is wrong, the myth is supposed to be at -20 degrees.

[iceyflames7]

@GhostInTheShell29

I ment the result is right for what he did, not for the experiment with -20 degrees, the myth said -20 degrees.

[stefman666]

"id shay thash bushteyud"

[stefman666]

'lookch liek ish bushted"

[baldrussian]

This guy reminds me of Lowell on the show Wings!

[fattymcgee123]

Ya, sorry, but zero is nowhere near cold enough. The coldest weather i've been in was -52c without the windchill. In northern Alberta in January. Like to see what happens then.

[kevinjaie1]

@slakerguy is right, even though he's a noob in spelling the contracted form of "you are."

[panzerveps]

did this at -30c some years back.. works like a charm.

[Mr0Whitey]

looser

[Chrisman50]

@slakerguy Mentally retarded is an exaggeration, very childish of you, immature fuck

[IvanRox95]

faget

[slakerguy]

That was @thegaym0r1337 not you sqw33k, my bad

[slakerguy]

@sqw33k Well obviously it is celsius because like you said fahrenheit is equal to about 18 degrees celsius, that would be enough to evaporate the water. The water in the video just fell, if it was fahrenheit then the water would have evaporated so i dont know where you were going with that, you need to start paying attention in science class. Just to let you know... noob

[slakerguy]

@sqw33k That may be true but no one said anything about Fahrenheit. 0 degrees Celsius isnt even that cold its almost neutral.

[thegaym0r1337]

@slakerguy And nobody said, that this is Celsius... For sure this is Fahrenheit.

[kevinjaie1]

@slakerguy 0 degrees Celsius is exactly at freezing point, which is not cold enough at all.

[sqw33k]

@slakerguy 0 degrees FAHRENHEIT is equal to about -17.78 degrees celsius. Just to let you know...

[turtlestrap]

faggot

[propyropower]

@slakerguy Lol

[jettan]

u r gay

[HullumpiEsa]

boiling water and -10 or lower celsius is enough to vaporate the water.. 0 degrees is a warm temperature :D:D nice job making yourself look like an idiot.

[WRXEXR]

Around -45 this works really good 0 where I live is a very warm day :D

[jgdogg441]

u proved nothing...it only starts working at around 40 BELOW 0

[Zedlav101]

It's not cold enough. I've travelled to the interior of Alaska where it drops down to -50. It works it just has to be real cold.

[LedJam26]

you can hear the water hit the ground

terrible...

[MagicBoi916]

note how he said busted.

[MrSpriggz]

Sounds like Louis's Dad Off Of Family Guy.

[TheBetterGame]

The myth was never "at 0 degrees"

and that water was not hot enough.

[lobsterman111]

try it at -40

[barber574]

try it at 15-

[SandKnowHow]

try with a cup. that are too much hot water there to do it in zero degress you can do it on the north/south pole but not in zero degress.....

[SirGriefALot]

Try that at the north pole and it'll turn to snow.

[drew1chicken1]

@ ezits666 he never said anything about swimming

[alchapwn]

im happy that we have so many chemists watching these videos and leaving comments

[alexjalaff]

@alchapwn hahaha

[anthonyllegrir]

In phisics it state that the freezing point of water is around 0 celcius. It also state that water can be liquid at this temperature. boarderline.

[anthonyllegrir]

It works if the molecules are spread more apart. throw it with more force, let spread more. Now for a large condensed water, it would requiere greater a mount of heat transfer. possibly absolute zero will do. trail and error.

[641rider]

it is possible to boil water at 0 c .if we decreased external pressure to 5 mmHg. the pressure on us is 761 mmHg.means 1 atm

[elliotmotoX]

i say that fails

[iamahood1]

We had one of the firefighters go through pots of coffee before we put a stop to it. Newbees. Gotta be colder and maybe smaller quantities. 45 or 50 F below and a coffee cup of boiling water and vapor and only vapor hits the ground and swirls. Hid the coffee tho.

[dederororo]

THERE IS NO ABLOSUTE 0 THERE IS NO 0 DEGREES ITS IMPOSSIBLESSSSSSSSS. sosss itss beees impossiblessss tosss tesstttssss thisssss

[crapkillerz]

0 degress Fahrenheit and celcius are both possible...

[danthemanftw1260]

@dederororo yes there is absolute 0 is 0 kelvin its not been done yet and will not happen any time soon but def is possible

[richmond24]

ur stupid absolute zero is like -274degrees celcius

[jimpeel]

I have done this with plain hot tap water but the temperature has to be way below zero. Some of the water does, indeed, hit the ground but quite a bit of it converts into a vapor cloud that is quite impressive.

The temperature has to be about -20 before the effect can be seen. It's pretty cool when it works.

The statement that none of the water will hit the ground is untrue; and you do not need to use boiling water but the hotter it is the better the effect..

[Tamerplane]

Sir, you are seriously retarded to think it might be slightly plausible for a temperature of 0 celsius.

Ok, I don't claim to know what temperature you actually need to do this (note that wind factor is very important and not just for wind chill), but I have seen it on TV when it was about -30°.

And btw, it might still hit the ground, no matter how cold it is outside, as a solid state (ie. ice).

[N3CR1S]

check your facts. no-one claims it to be true for 0C, it requires temperatures below that. and the big point about this effect is not that "it wont reach the ground" it is that it will freeze faster than colder water treated in exactly the same way as the warmer water,

[razor005]

Fail he didnt even throw it high enough for it to work right and even then there was still some water that froze in the air.

[trick384]

"I'd say that's busted" hahah he sounds like Billy Bob Thorton

[eamonnteh]

lol i think minimum u will need -15 celsius

[Alarindris]

Not cold enough.

[GregERobertson]

Yep . .all these comments are pretty much correct. If the water is about a quart or less, and it is a full rolling boil, and you toss it up into the air, as this guy did, it will totally vaporize it. . . .look how much of his water got vaporized .. he's either prankin' or was too [whatever] to do it right . .

[enigma02g]

Umm no, not one person has said at 0 they say below zero, as in 40 or more BELOW zero.

[Rhinoch8]

Yeah true enigma02g LOL

[daz222]

Way too hot in the air and way too cold water. You, my friend, are busted!

Eywa ngahu,

Daz x x

[Klopy1414]

0 degrees is nothing. its still 273 kelvin, compared to 373 kelvin when water was boiling.

[Hiei2k7]

How long was he standing out there beforehand? Was the water still above 212 F when thrown?

[Rawlyboy77]

He's holding it in a glass bowl, so im going to go ahead and say it's safe to assume it's below 212 degrees;

[Prups]

lol it isnt even cold wtf...i say you are busted!

[Lexdude0]

Liquid Nitrogen, maybe? That would explain the "boiling" at that temperature.

[bouiglob]

need colder

[danielalien]

0 degrees fahrenheit is not a very "special" temperature, now is it.

[sausagesnail]

is this video a troll? :(

[MrBrandon5256]

there is a vid that does this same thing but the temp was alot colder so the water did not hit the ground. also the water was boiling hot.

[diggerdave51]

I have seen that happen at -42 and it will trun to steam before it hits the ground and u are right neworder18 it need to be much colder that -0 for it to work

[neworder18]

Ok now, do that at 40 below. That is the "myth" And it does land in a solid form.

[fats106]

c'mon, its obvious that he's not at the right place -.-

[XwhitmanX]

get a friggin high speed camera to prove it =D

[spiceyvideo]

That' way to much water, it's only supposed to be a cup. And with a little more tossing effort..

[streetskater03]

Well, for 1. It was starting to vaporize which tells you that it's not cold enough for all of it to vaporize.

[masterhijack]

UDude thats fucking Crazy thats wicked ur cool man

[johansenmj]

I'd say YOU'RE busted. Check yo facts jack.

[ajgolfer1]

try -40 idiot

[jollydwarf]

uhm.... you're a dumbass. the temp outside has to be like -25F and the water has to be 200F. watch youtube video wJ3CKgZEitw . that's the Weather Channel reporting from Mt. Washington, NH on a day where it was -37F and the water was 200F. water clearly freezes everytime when thrown into the air. YOUR video is the one that's BUSTED! retard.

[SuperSirius11]

Try at -40F and yes if you watch the video closely it actually freezes. About half of it froze.

[dontclicktheusername]

why the hell would it vaporize? it would freeze since the outside temperature is cold not hot.

[DarklingAdolf]

when was the claim "0 degrees". i heard lots about -24 to -40 degrees. try again in a better location, dipshit. you barely hit the freezing point.

[timkalow]

try -20 degres

[thatOneAznKid]

thats probably liquid nitrogen

[agun17]

Depending on temeperatures, the water gets frozen in small pellets before it hits the ground.

[rob64100]

it has to be in 10 degrees blow zero and thrown slight further + all of the water in that stuck together, so it didnt freeze fast enough.

[Itsnattatooma]

has to be waaay below zero

[L3HNZ]

Oh stop arguing.

He said it was plausible...

[jasonecc]

you need to throw it harder so the water seperates you prick dead beat

[patricksparks96]

still wouldn't work

[jasonecc]

yes it would deadbeat

[sargeantneo1]

um, yes dont try and immitate the mythbusters.

on the other cases the temprature has not been 0 degres, it woudl have been far lower so that it coudl freeze each droplet fast.

[Jeronicals]

i think it's because the air is still, a little more wind and the result might be different

[jam724]

maybe if you somehow mangade to get it to aboslute zero then yeh it would work but just at 0 well thats never goign to work :L

[Anarkiados]

At 0 nothing happens. Get it colder, and it does work. Doesn't even need to get CLOSE to absolute zero.

[jam724]

like someone couldnt tell i was taking the piss

[soadx90]

i'd say it has to be alot colder than 0degrees. your a moron.

[bbaker904]

We did a test at FT. Greely Alaska in 1984 while I was a firefighter. The temp was -43 degrees. We set the tank heat on full on the fire truck with vents and valves closed. The temp hit 225 on the water. We cranked the pump up to 150psi and hit the deluge gun on medium fan pointed up 45 degrees. Nearly all turned to cloud with only a few drops hitting the ground. 500 gallons in one minute.

[BlenderSL]

The air temp needs to be around -35F, and the water temperature needs to be truly boiling, at or above 212F. This test proves nothing.

[pooper2000]

it has 2 be colder than zero degrees IDIOT

[andeaver1937]

it dosen't look cold enough out there

[joecooper18]

that isnt boiling water. seconds after you take it off the boil, the tempature of the water will drop to around about 60c in 22c room tempature.

[ethositachi]

I suppose you brew your coffee at 60c then? L2 Physics

[joecooper18]

i dont brew coffee, i use instant coffee. i brew my tea, but not in boiling water. always best to get the water in the cup as soon as possible from the boil, but its never boiling water. get a themometer and try it

[Zedlav101]

It has to be colder! Do it in Fairbanks, Alaska in mid-winter when it's -50.

[DairyNZ]

Chuck it above your head next time!

[Diaper1rash]

stupid i know it does work shud be colder than that

[94yoyo]

copy this if you think he is gay

[niceniggafigure]

lol u people should me make your own mythbuster show

[AnalNapalmSocketFuck]

Gay?

[MAXJARDINE69a]

UGHH NO shit lol of couse it wont freaze it has to be fuk cold

[christiaanrem]

idiot water freezes at below 0 degrees not at 0 degrees sharp try minus 20 or 30

[ElDoctorJanItor]

He's referring to 0 degrees FAHRENHEIT, not Celsius.

[vinetari]

Booooooooooo!

[wawawewaryan]

I did this at -30 and it worked.

Go try it in Canada buddy!!

[Bus7777]

Yeah!

[neothemagical]

The myth is true, you have to have lower than zero degrees. What happens is the water turns into vapor first, and then instantly crystalizes. A similar process happens with snow.

[DerrickForLife]

u fag

[Paradoxmagic]

Before you act like a smart person please remember high school. We did that in high school for heaven's sake and proved the myth true. Simple chemistry.

[Ceraas]

It has to be pure, distilled water. Tap water doesn't go through superheating and supercooling effects.

Moron.

[AdderSIG]

Yeah, the myth is at -30 your spit will freeze and crack when it hits the ground. I think at -40 it's supposed to crack mid-air. It was in an old novel about an artic explorer.

[IhateJohnMayer]

nice jamie impression!

[laurenandmia]

Why the hell would it vaporize? O_O
