  • I turned my computer on to work on a research paper. How did I end up watching this?

  • Hî_AñýòNË_wANná_chãt_wïth_mÉ_Ì­_fÉÉl_sÕ_lÔNèlY_tØÐäÿ≡

  • id freeze that amount of water quiker in a standard freeze,. wtf.

  • So, I take the ice was 'warm'?

  • Thats cool as hell

  • For everyone who doesnt know whats going on, they are lowering the pressure inside the container and when u do that the atoms of the water "stick together" and make ice

  • Pretty sure I figured this out... it's a supersatured salt solution and when it makes contact with a new surface it changes back into it's solid form.

  • @iXanderz Or maybe that's what they had planned, but then alien magician ghosts sneaked into the machine and reduced the atmospheric pressure to 1 torr, to mimic what they remember of their home environment.

    Inadvertently, this strong of a vacuum caused the water to turn into ice. What a coincidence that these guys were performing an experiment at the exact same time the aliens made their way into the machine. Now these poor guys think that you can make ice by supersaturating water with salt.

  • Is the ice cold to the touch?

  • @iXanderz It may be so cold it burns like dry ice.

  • My Gran used to have one of those pressure machines in her kitchen. Hers was better though, as it could make stuff really HOT and you could even eat the stuff as well. Sometimes.

  • True story

  • man i love all the nerdy comments on this vid.

  • *yawn*

    I prefer teenage girls dancing in their bedrooms.

  • Stalker begins

  • nukes can't explode you stupid boys. get your facts right and stop bullshiting

  • If nukes exploded all over the surface of the planet it could just split everywhere and end up just floating around in pieces.... the core would also blow up too, wouldn't it? I'm not sure but something like that.

  • no it wouldnt.

    World would be fucked forever, but still intact.

  • if it comes to that, the resulting heat would most likely just ignite our atmostphere, so it wouldn't matter

  • if you could drive your car directly from where you're standing to the center of the earth it would be roughly 2500 miles. For comparison, NORAD is about a mile underground and would survive a nuclear Holocaust.

  • Seen too many wrong people, so:

    The measure of temperature is the measure of the AVERAGE kinetic energy of whatever, in this case water. The water has both high and low k. energy molecules.

    When you lower the pressure, you lower the boiling point because molecules with higher kinetic energy can now overcome the force keeping them in a liquid state.

    The molecules with high kinetic energy boil away, eventually all the molecules that are left have low kinetic energy and the system freezes.

  • hax

  • Oohoh! Put marshmallows in it next!

  • The formula is:

    FUCK=U

  • Is the ice cold?

  • I work with furnaces that operate in vacuums up to 10 mTorr. Today I was leak checking it because we couldnt get past 500 mTorr. I open the furnace and find blocks of ice from a water leak!

  • When the earths ozone is gone this happens to earth!

  • Er... why would it? The ozone layer has nothing to do with pressure.

    There would be quite a few bad things happening, but I don't think us freezing because of vacuum would be among them...

  • Dude, mankind does not have the power to destroy a planet.

    Get over it.

  • ....What the hell you talking about?

    We do have the power to destroy the a planet (Specifically Earth) It's called Multiple Nuclear Detonations. We have enough Nukes to blow the Earth up Ten times over.

  • Well, not from direct impact on the surface. You'd have to dig into the planet (like in Armeggedon) and plant them there.

  • Enough Atomic bombs going off on the surface, specifically on Fault lines, SHOULD in theory be enough to Crack the Earth like an egg.

  • Probably, this is just coming from the top of my head, would the atmosphere retain itself or would it split aswell?

  • My thought was always that the Atmosphere would be fried in that situation, and once it's cracked to hell, it would just start to drift in large chunks, the Atmosphere leaving those chunks.

  • MY very own idea that was actually thought of in about 10 sec after reading this is that it could be done with nukes equaling aproximately 15 Mt at 2 strategic places in the bottom of the sea (don't remember the english names but the other one was the 11km deepest area and the other one was the deep area north of New Zealand not going to find out as this is just a quick idea). Continued in next post.

  • If unfloored titanium bunkers were to be built on top of the explosions it would theoretically cause a stop to the rotation of the Earth's core and thus destroy the planet in a matter of years through erupting volcanoes, asteroids, and the likes if it wouldn't crack the planet immediately. This is quite interesting as with 2 modern nukes and a ton of titanium you could destroy the planet. This actually means that any western country can afford to kill us all.

  • fault lines dont go all the way through to the middle of the earth.

    it wouldnt do shit. just burn the fuck out of everything on top.

  • we may blow all the surface of earth (no chance still)BBUT there are les chances 2 destroy the earth to make it itno bits and pieces except a big black hole is made

  • cool equiptment to show this theory...nice

  • What is the correct formula used to determine the boiling point at certain pressures?

  • PV=nRT

  • Actually thats wrong, its a different equation.  Wiki is.

  • yeah, thats what I thought in the first place but that has nothing to do with boiling points

  • that really sels

  • no shit sherlock, he said it takes 20 minutes to boil into ice, if there was no gap, how long would the video have to be?

    Lets think a little, or atleast read the description bar.

  • i dont get it

  • read the description retard

  • lol that's amazing! what company do you work for?

  • Arrogant asswipe

  • So... is it warm ice? :O

  • nothing special about this

    lower the pressure the lower boiling temp

    boiling temp reached to the freezing point

  • Like taking a jumbo jet for a two-mile ride!!

  • thats was cool but when iu

    read the comment i could not under stand what the calculations meant (i am only in 7th grade so i would not know)but could some one sum it down please

  • Haha..

    Nerds happen to change the world.. and make everything you're using, including the computer. Nerds fix it. Destroy it. and discover it.

  • Evaporative cooling - 759 torr = steam and ice?

  • I don't think "Special" Jesse was really making a heartfelt complaint about nerds, but this is just a guess.

  • F=MA

    if you guys didnt know. and according to newtons 4th law, water - energy = ice, so its not fake.

  • If it wasnt for "nerds" we would still live in the stone age.

  • That is false and ignorant

    BTW everyone is can be considered a nerd. alls a nerd is is someone who is good and takes an a liking to something. so for example i am a car nerd.

  • you're a nerd for giving that nerdy ass explantion of what a nerd is lol.

  • and your a virgin for having a grape dick.lol

  • @will49111 indeed

  • "SpecialJesse (2 hours ago)

    you're such nerds

    allllll of you......."

    If it wasn't for "nerds"*, IDIOTS like you wouldn't have a computer to type your retarded garbage you call "thoughts" on.

    Just to type that message you've used the technology of millions of "nerds" and tens of thousands of technologies that make up the electrical power and distribution grid, the computer electronics, the chair and table you are on, all the software in the computer.

    God, you're stupid.

  • @SpecialJesse i agree, while you sit your butt down these guys make amazing discoveries stupid, why were you watching this if you think they are nerds

  • Triple point of water is 273.16K (0.01 °C) at 611.73 pascals (4.589 torr). Will, what are the chances of doing this again while measuring the temperature inside the vacuum chamber? Considering the Combined Gas Law, I assume the temperature must have plummeted along with the pressure.

  • because less kinetic energy is required since the vapor pressure is gone as the air is sucked away by the vaccum, the molecules can escape from the liquid thus into the air in gas phase at room temperature which provides the kinetic energy; as for the freezing, as water vapor is created, the amount of energy in the water decreases as some of it is used to cause the molecules to escape, thus the temperature (average kinetic energy) decreases in the water in cup, so it freezes

  • the vapor pressure which holds down the water molecules from escaping easily is gone due to the vaccuum and therefore less kinetic energy is required for the molecules to escape which explains the boling; however, I believe the freezing is caused because that is the equilibrium point of pressure at which the water can exist at both solid and gas phases, see examples of phase diagrams and you'll see what I mean

  • I'm not 100% sure how this works, my guess is that the lower air pressure increases the freezing temperature because water expands when it freezes. If I remember correctly you can also freeze water by increasing the pressure high enough. Pretty cool demonstration.

  • So wait... just by massively decreasing the air pressure around the water, it turns to a solid? That's awesome

  • just need a bad ass vacuum to do it.

  • ROFL FAGGOT

  • Thank you! that's exactly what we were doing. this machine was never made to freeze water, we did it for fun. this machine is for demo porposes in a classroom. using one in production would have got me fired

  • amazing!!!

  • what does political science have to do with the kinetic theory & thermodynamics? Anyway i don't think u can classify that bubbling as boiling because by definition it is not gaining an heat, neither is the liquid being changed to a gas.

  • Law and politics........fascinating...­..

  • Maserati...I bet

  • Jeesh, how many times do you have to profess how amazing, intelligent, wealthy, and better-than-us mario? :)

  • Yes, Mario, that's why it says you're 18 in your profile. Lie more.

  • Yeah dude, i'm willing to bet you're just a high school grad who still lives in his moms basement.

  • going to university and studying something the people in your country regard as important doesn't mean you are intelligent, you have to prove that by yourself - and when will you Americans learn that money and possession is worthless?

  • whoa whoa whoa

    hold on a second the british if not anyone consider themselves superior to anyone the most

    for god and empire

    right?

    and if possession is so bad and worthless why do the British own more then half of the world's land

  • ...Because we're awesome....

  • :L thasts hilarious

  • Are you saying that trait is exclusive to Americans?? you are a douchebag..

    go k1ll yourself..

  • oh no oh won't somebody save me from the nasty troll, he just makes my life not worth living...

  • you see any one can boil water into ice all you need is a tree million dollar machine easy

  • i don't really understand how lowering the pressure can turn a liquid into a solid? but okay..

  • the less air pressure there is in a space, the lower the temperture is. That is why when you climb up a mountain it gets colder. There is less air pressure at higher altitudes.

  • ah.. that's congruent with the rest of my understanding. but that means the video and title are misleading.. you aren't freezing the water by lowering the pressure, and you aren't boiling water into ice. you're boiling water by lowering the pressure, and freezing it by lowering the temp! :P

  • not sure about that, the equipment I work on can get down to 1 mTorr, and stay at room temp. removing pressure alone wont drop the temp

  • Dat machine is da devil

  • If you put a Xbox360 chip in water......

    first it will evaporate the water on contact

    then it will come back frozen

  • the ps3 gets hotter but its built better

  • that is why the 360 overheats.

  • so does this cure things or? a drunken friday night with your buds?

  • they used a four million dollar computer chip processing machine to make an ice cube that is the most expensive ice cube that i have ever seen

  • yeah until you realise the machine can be used more than once. idiot.

  • fuck you dumb ass muthafucker,,,i was just being funny dumb fuck

  • You weren't funny :)

  • i got a $200 freezer that does the same thing...turns water into ice.

  • Yeah me to and ive had it for five years lol

  • Really? Cause I have a 1$ water bottle that can also turn water into itself.

    Lol

  • adiabatic cooling...

  • lolz its in reverse

  • To answer some of your questions, this machine is as old as dirt and is only used in a classroom for demonstrations and how to detect leaks and so on... It did not cost 4 million dollars to freeze water. We did it after class "because we could". I would have put the original uncut video on but it took about 20 minutes to turn into ice. "kinda boring" bad enough to sit through 5 minutes. and no its not fake, anyone can do it with a strong enough vacuum pump. Hope this clears up any confusion.

  • put this comment in the description

  • wo~

    thanks for this nice piece of information, guess I have to tell anyone I can reach to either sell their shares at Novelis or stay away from it.

  • wow, this is awesome, I have to show this to my AP chem teacher XD

  • Do a frog next.

  • ...you read my mind.

  • LOL dude gross!

  • ah got it

  • yeah, that makes sense because if you lower the pressure, then the water vapor exceeds the atmosphere pressure and so it looks like it's boiling, but with very little heat involved. so if they lower the temperature and pressure, it will "boil" first and then freeze.

  • what's 1 torr ?

  • A unit of pressure

  • a torr is a unit of pressure.

    normal atmospheric pressure at sea level is 760 torr.

    so 1 torr? VEEERRRRYYYY low pressure.

  • even if they only paid 10 dollars for it, waste of fuckin money

  • AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH,  some funny shit

  • Wow what a way to make ice and a waste of 4 mill...I can make ice in a freezer... how about this can you catch a fart and paint it green...

  • they didnt pay 4 mill for it they used a 4 mill machine dumbass

  • Farts are already green. Waste of paint.

  • You people are hella dumb, they're just proving a concept here. Obviously they didnt buy the machine just to do this.

  • "sighs" you people really think they bought a 4 million dollar machine just to make gelly water?

  • Is that water in a frozen gel form now that the dissolved gasses have escaped?

  • "You Guys are completely fucking stupid idiots . You spend 4 million dollars on a fucking machine that just boils water enough to freeze ."

    Yes, because it's a water freezing machine not a chip processing machine as the description says.

    You, my friend, are a fucking moron.

  • The worst of the recession is over. We're making a recovery.

  • yawn

  • Water wasn't boiling at all. Dissolved gas was just escaping the water because of the lowered pressure, which also decreased the freezing point and allowed the water to freeze...

  • it surprises me that so many people think that this experiment is actually the primary reason for the 4 million dollar machine

  • lol yeah, I didnt even bother responding to those morons

  • does it really surprise you?

  • You spend 4million dollars to do what you could ultimately do with a home appliance?

  • Yes, this person bought this four million dollar machine for the sole purpose of making this video. Otherwise, the machine is totally useless.

  • Comment removed

  • but doesnt water expand when it freezes?

  • You are completely wrong. It has nothing to do with how far the molecules are apart. water like other materials has 3 phases. The phase the water is in is determined by the temperature and Pressure. at normal atmospheric pressure water has 2 states (liquid and solid) at 0C and has 2 states)(liquid and gas) at 100C. If you change the pressure, those values change as well. There is also a point (called the triple point) where water exists as a solid liquid and gas at the same time..

  • That's impressive but can it play Minesweeper?

  • LOL

  • lame.... I can do the same thing with my freezer at home... nothing special here...

  • Really? Your freezer can lower atmospheric pressure? What brand?

  • PG&E

  • wow that's pretty awesome.

  • but 4 million dollar computer chip just for this little thing... thats alot of money ur using there...

  • if the water were boiling wouldn't there be steam and vapor coming from the water

  • water vapour is invisible. The reason you see steam is because it is condensing out into the air (you are actually seeing small water droplets). There is a lot of watervapour in the air you are breathing right now. Does your room look steamy?

  • was this vid posted 2 days ago?

    it has 171,269 views in 2 days holy crap

  • you guys shouldve used food coloring on the water.

    oh well.. waste of 4 million bucks

  • well, you didn't exactly tell us HOW to boil water into ice. i'm assuming the first step is getting 4 million dollars?

  • lol

  • plus tax

  • Oregon FTW

  • What exactly did you do to cause the water to freeze?

  • read the description idiot.

  • hmm yes, How many starving kids could have had food for 4 million dollars?

    j/k...lol.  I believe in Science.

  • Its all about pressure. When the internal pressure is higher than the internal, the bubbles will start escaping. Basic chemistry. Heat just decreases the boiling point of water, which makes the wrong assumption that heat = boiling.

  • Numb Nuts!
