Dry ice chips w/interesting flow patterns

[LegoOndWoWNerd123]

Hvy do you hold the dry ice with your hands thats not good :)

[Emomoz]

Why you reminded me of cookies :(

[zack95clark]

I really enjoy this guys videos

[SBxxxStudios]

Hey I am from the Seattle area (Issaquah to be exact). I am actually going to QFC to get dry ice in a few hours. About what is the size of a 1-lb block of dry ice?

[wbeaty]

@SBxxxStudios I think 1lb is perhaps two cups? Since it's only $1/lb, I usually buy five or ten or 15 lbs. Links to more experiments at bit.ly / 9Q2s7l

[Ivanlamperouge]

wonderful

[Caskader]

Very important: a big OLD cookie sheet and a big OLD pot of water!

[WrathWolfAngel]

well that's cool and all by wth, if you know so much about dry ice then YOU should know your not gonna use ur bare hands to pick it up -_-

[JaySeeAndWe]

@WrathWolfAngel you can pick it up with bare hands you just have to keep moving your hand and move really quick

[Hackin32]

Bravo, quite mezmerizing when there are multiple chips going at once

[holycosmos]

whack it with a spoooooon

[YRUIM]

lol

[crazyking121]

how do u get dry ice?

[bannedsk8r]

Search in the yellow pages ice and there should be companies that sell it.

[ThrowingItAway]

welding supply stores, science suppliers.

[ActiveStorage]

looks like everything has electromagnetic nature in it. this thing looks like a miniature of a galaxy. obviously gravity has nothing to do with making it look that way. no dark matter theory needed. it's all electromagnetic

[AncientPiece]

very nice and beautiful demonstrations they look like some space thingy

[hickorysmoked4]

i want t0 eat the smoke

[drjustian]

Wonderful, I like it. The phenomena of rotating ice chips that do not sink is due to gas around the ice chips, true. However, the question is "why is that so?" It is so because, in addition to the gas the water tension helps support the ice chip. The water's surface tension is viscous, rather that inertial, allowing the lighter gas to support the ice chip. I think. Signed, David Justian. My theory of viscosity is at "David Justian" on YouTube.

[wbeaty]

Gas is viscous too: boundary layers remain trapped against surfaces. The higher it's viscosity, the thicker is the layer.

When the surface is large and the mass of the chip is small, the gas buoyancy wins over the weight.

[ActiveStorage]

the reason why they move that way is because on nanoscale all interactions that are happening whether u talk about "water tension" and "jets of dry ice" are electromagnetic in nature. Charged particles always have rotational spin. Same thing goes to any kind of vortexes

[utsavman47]

OMG this explains the origins of gravity

[BoredChemist]

umm no it doesn't gravity is when the fabric of space bends, so things that are traveling move the direction it is bent

[utsavman47]

so isn't the same thing happening here

[BoredChemist]

on a far smaller scale, that is negligible compared to the earths gravity, which is so great because the earth is huge.

[utsavman47]

well of course it dosn't compare to the earth ,duh

but none the less it is gravity ,you have to agree

[UnSamm]

The theory is there :)

[NingyoAijin]

you do realize that gravity, even from an object as small as a tennis ball with the same mass, pulls the earth towards it with the same amount of force that the earth pulls the ball... think a little about newtonian laws.

also it is not gravity here, but the jets pushing water away, and in order to balance the concentration gradient the other pieces of ice are dragged towards it... I.... THINK... (i may be totally wrong: i am 16, you know... still in school for another 2 years XD)

[utsavman47]

im also 16 !

LMAO

[H3XZOc]

what is dry ice??

[nintendowns]

frozen carbon dioxide. the cool thing is that when it heats up, instead of turning to liquid like ice, it sublimates and becomes a gas.

[H3XZOc]

cool :D so it's CO2?

[nintendowns]

yep :).

[H3XZOc]

good to know ^^

[seanki98]

it is frozen co2

[DrZoidberg565]

1:01 wtf?

[th63th63]

indeed! i cant stop laughing at that... sounds like satan to me

[irfanhaji09]

i've heard of black hole and umm i just wanted to say is this white hole lol

[irfanhaji09]

r u rich man ur face looks like a bulldozed head so r u rich

[BCcL01]

That is soooo cool :D

[ziaolol]

<3333

[DarkstarHOLLOW]

hahah looksy like a galaxy or something

your vids are cool

[bestSVMS]

thats so cool

[tedyesca]

i love these science/fun videos with dry ice

[caleron0]

it also gives a good picture of early solar system with comets... LOL

[alexpkzu]

saweeeet! i got some dry ice whay elce can i do with it?

[natsweeee]

coollll!!!!!

[Hypermobilemind]

how are you touching the dry ice with your hands, i thought it would stick to your skin since its in water and your fingers would get wet and it would hurt.

[moatddtutorials]

Ah, when two ice chunks get close together, the average temperature between those two chunks begins to decrease, slowing the vaporization (melting) of the dry ice in that region, and that means... that the jets get smaller between two adjacent chunks.

The jets on the OUTSIDE, however, cause the chunks to get forced together. Maybe a little bit of surface tension in the mix, too.

[drulli6]

he sohuld have made a boat XD

[AmerB87]

wth, why does my comment always end up at the top when i hit reply to another comment, shouldn't it be under that comment if i hit the reply button?

[wbeaty]

> wth, why does my comment always end up at the top

Looks like a bug.  It seems random. And... that's why I always include your text in my response. Otherwise responses aren't connected.

[enemyest]

Wow your really smart and you make beast video's keep it up :)

[CarbonXe]

It's the youtube commenting system. If you go to the full comments page, you'll see your comment tabbed under the person you were replying too, but in the video page it just sorts it out by recent comments.

[jandroelnumerouno]

man... you have too much time... get a job... or a girlfriend... but hurry

[mancole96]

You ARE the awesome!!!

[powerspliff]

OMG I Love this guy,, wich he was my dad ! ;P so much fun!

[SamzIszHere]

lmao, i think your personality gets 5 stars, i need to visit seattle more often, los angeles just doesn't have the same humor.

[thepilotboy]

why would i whack it with a spoon?? OH you were talking about the dry ice. lol

[pkhamidar2com]

this guy is awsom.

[54spiritedwill54]

is this guy for real

[neomaster911]

no he is a computer simulation.

[YouPhail]

lol

[rejectedrealities]

lol

[AmerB87]

lmao!!

[Surrenderpoint]

Meanie hes just showing you an interesting simulation.

[retrogamer500]

Who are you calling ignorant?

[cadeervin]

lol i can wow my science teachter with some of your stuff

[MonsterEnergyMan]

STFU if you don't like it. What is he pushing? You are the one pushing the closed-minded bs on everyone else, so shut it.

[LuiKang043]

Freakin' kool dude!

[IHateMadeUpNames]

Awesome vid.

[St0neman]

very neat !!

[Brttrx84]

If you had your own show, I'd watch it.

[mastatsan]

Our Publix store has dry ice. You can find Publix in FL, GA, SC, and maybe one or two more southeastern states.

[analshavingkit]

We recently got a couple Publixes in central Alabama.

[issero7]

you get dry ice in a italian ice store

[Mixa93431]

where did you get dry ice?

[LafinJack]

Try reading the video information.

[tobigforyou]

priordial universe? that is ridiculous. Check out Kent Hovind Vids.

[sicksicksick2121]

u dont get frostbites that fast...unless ur skin is weak,i use to do this when i was 5..its fun to watch..

[qaz8921]

where did you get dry ice?

[rikufan61]

OMG that was so cool but how long would dry ice last before it melts in warm water

[Timbo17932]

cool!!XD

[Jabbajawz4life]

You go to a ice factory around and buy some.

[michaelegden]

is this guy for real

[lastko]

LOL use gloves

[ekat12]

he he this makes me laugh for some strange reason he he

[megaubermagic]

You get dry ice from a like a super market *-*

[pablojre]

nice english

[qasdfgaerg]

where do u get dry ice

[halo2king89]

where do u get dry ice?

[wbeaty]

> if you touch a dry ice w/ bare hands, u'll get a frost bite.

Not at all. Go watch this one: youtube com/watch?v=c3B5I4rpMrs

> but if you forcely remove it, your skin will rip off along with it.

No, dry ice spews out gas, and won't stick to skin.  It won't stick to anything, except perhaps a surface which is colder than dry ice.

[npdizon]

I stand corrected......

[zakkydude654]

does frostbite go away

[Nighthief15]

no frosbites do not go away

[wbeaty]

Tiny stings go away instantly. But if you get a painful lasting frostbite, it turns into a blister.

[keinve2]

okay, if you don't think that dry ice will give you frost bite when you hold it, then hold five pounds in your hand for about 10 minutes.

[wbeaty]

Go and watch youtube com/watch?v=c3B5I4rpMrs

[npdizon]

if you touch a dry ice w/ bare hands, u'll get a frost bite.

but if you forcely remove it, your skin will rip off along with it.

[npdizon]

sorry, I mean if you HOLD a dry ice with bare hands,that's the worst pain u'll ever get.

It's kinda cool but burns at the same time.

[nato372]

At 1:05 who ever it is sounds like Toby Maguire who plays Peter Parker in spider man!

[Kauloflikker]

suck

[TruGroovez]

Dryice are real ya know! its alive!!

[roo6421]

that would be sick in a pool

[blink182wow]

if u touch dry ice u die

[elgranto7]

hmmm id like 2 c that

[Nighthief15]

u dont die

[zezimax1]

what's exactly the difference betwien dry ice and normal ice?

[Keaterpeter]

dry ice is colder. way colder

[elgranto7]

dry ice is solid co2, about -70 degrees

[mrputo27]

Gazagirl your stupid just because you touch dry ice for like a second doesnt mean your gonna burn your finger!!!! and plus those were little pieces of ice so dont even get all paranoid jajajjaaj!!

[kaboodleszitzer]

kewlios

[wbeaty]

> Idiot! why'd he touch dry ice! >,>

Anger? Fear! Don't fear dry ice. It takes an entire 1500 to 2000 milliseconds before it starts causing painful skin damage. Just keep transferring it back and forth between your hands twice per second. "Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering." -Yoda

[Mokey117]

Yeah, it's true. You just roll it around on your hand if you want to handle it for any period of time. Even after 2 seconds it's only a small burn that lasts for a few minutes.

[qazagirl]

idiot! why'd he touch dry ice! >,>

[krishnaz2]

where can i get dry ice 4rm im from the uk

[wbeaty]

> where can i get dry ice 4rm im from the uk

Look in the phone directory for businesses?

[krishnaz2]

cant i jus go into some store?

[wbeaty]

> cant i jus go into some store?

Ask in the meat or seafood section of a food store. They might tell you if any local stores sell dry ice.

[krishnaz2]

fank uuuuuuuuuu

[raflim]

That is awesome!!! What is that a representation of anyways?

[shadow6793]

Dry ice is normal ice?

[iCONICAACINOCi]

is everything is your house "little" and "old"?

[nitouken]

I love nerds. (Working on my MSME, so I am one too. Not an insult)

[Kr3w2923]

wow you must have payed attention in school a lot

[wbeaty]

Nope. I figured out stuff on my own. I also read huge numbers of science magazine back issues (like old Scientific Americans from the 1950s and 60s. But after the mid-70s SciAm became worthless. Best try "Science" and "Nature" and AJP and Rev. of Physics Inst.)

[XxMagicmastaXx]

where the heck did u get dry ice?

[BenLovr]

food store

[wbeaty]

In the USA Northwest, QFC food stores sell slabs of dry ice in their seafood section. It's about $1 per lb. Chop it up with wire strippers or needle nose pliers (or hammer and chisel.) Look in local Yellow Pages for dry ice suppliers. They sell pellet dry ice.

[Beagleslife]

any HyVee. :) 98-99 cents a pound. By the way thanks dude that is very awsome i am going to try it. :)

[Dominator711]

i painted my cookie sheet black too! lol

[Aeryk333]

Wow!

[nitrodog666]

I love dry ice its so cool

[Jeffie433]

If you had a slight breeze going you could make it look rather like a comet...hmmm

[Altomage09]

It'd be neat to see this with your Thermal Camera.

[robstorms]

Thanks Bill !!

[smartrocker9000]

this stuff always amazes me, ur experiments always amaze me, good job.

[emanemanresuresu]

Where can i get some "dry-ice-chips"? I like to take pictures of the rotating chips. Looks great.

[wbeaty]

>Where can i get some "dry-ice-chips"?

"Dry Ice" is usually in the phone directory yellow pages. Buy dry ices slabs and hit with hammer? Or buy pellets and crush with pliers. Dry ice blocks last longer, but are harder to chop.

[joezzq]

"Its funnnjucational" hahaha That was wonderful, heres a suggestion if i may...scratch out some dots on the tray to make the effect complete :)

[jocavc]

More of this, PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

[wbeaty]

There's more dry ice fun on:

Vancouver Tesla exhibit, Tesla's death ray

youtube com/watch?v=NX3dVpK23xo

[Calliber50]

Amazing stuff as always!

[Kryptix84]

Very cool, more videos! =0P Definitely enjoy watching your vids.

[Demonkillper]

how is it that you touch the dry ice and your finger doesn't freeze? isn't that stuff really cold? is it bexcause of the warm water?

thanks

[wbeaty]

Dry ice acts like hot cinders: it only "bites" whenever you push it firmly against bare skin for an entire second.

Keep it moving so your skin never freezes. It makes gas, so it won't stick to skin. Small pieces (2cm) are easy to handle with bare hands. You can also pick up huge chunks if you juggle them around. You can even crunch up a small piece in your mouth, then blow out clouds of fog... but spit out all the broken grains as you chew!

[Russoft]

very cool stuff
