Flammable Ice

[pinayatlove9]

BOOM. :D <3

[JRock005]

What sorcery is this?

[123killaification]

Alcohol

[hambone44]

Frozen vodka

[xlsubzero]

@hambone44 retard alcohol cant freeze

[CharlyRaaad]

@xlsubzero you, my friend, are an idiot!

[dwcook43]

@xlsubzero alcohol can certainly freeze.. any liquid can freeze, you just have to get it cold enough.. you can't freeze it in a common household freezer, but use dry ice or liquid N2 and you can... retard...

[MrSketch2122]

Calcium Carbide on bottom, toss ice on top, reaction makes acetylene gas, light....

[icicicles]

Parity ice, cool!

[SENSIBLECHEMIST]

Pretty clever stuff, well done guys.......

[pet1996]

Don't worry everyone! This is going to be fixed with the new version aka Real Life V2.8!!!

[Zachmman1997]

there is Natural gas in the water from the ground that is what it most likely is :^)

[usmcpound]

@Zachmman1997 that's it! you're so smart!

[93tomb]

Hmm... I have some calcium carbide...

[thomaslauch43]

look at the description PLSSSSS scroll down and see it :]

[6842DTox]

it's the oxygen coming off of the melting ice cubes.

did they maybe expedite the melting ice cubes with salt? I don't know yet, I'm going to go & try it. . .

[moose911ful]

is it gas?

[ubangiestomp]

Calcium carbide.It's what miners used to use in lamps for light. Water would drip onto the carbide and give off acetylene gas that would burn bright. Ice melts slowly so it looks like it is burning. Cool trick to pull on people.

[silver91183]

alcohol and water frozen.....

[sexydick181]

HOLY FUCK THIS IS AWESOME

[fc2122]

The cubes are made of glass (novelty cubes that are pretty easy to get) a clear accelerant is poured on them then ignited. Not very scientific, but a nice ruse for everyone that fails to look at the simplest answer to a question.

[meowmeow5]

@fc2122 wrong. read the description.. calcium carbide.

[poofnsauce]

hmm that was a bit anti-climatic, good idea though

[Luthfilms]

at 4 seconds check out the pellets of calcium carbide--nice trick though. Had many fooled at first

[teckyang97]

HELLO ALCOHOL

[jonnygouda1]

I understand about the calcium carbide trick, but seriously, if you can get a cold enough freezer, you can freeze even Everclear which, I believe, is about 95% alcohol. Or you could just go with cheap vodka and not have to use liquid nitrogen to cool it to freezing.

[2dkoda]

this ice could possibly have been made from fracked tap water

google hydrolic fracturing or fracking

[BRKibbeyful]

So, the trick is that yous skipped filming the step where you added the calcium carbide? This is like the kid who yells, "What's that!" and then throws the quarter as part of a "disappearing" trick.

[pyrostrikejj]

you know you can freeze gas right...

[vrenk182]

wow ice coal

[ikowalczuk87]

first u cant frozen alcohol its impossible to do it lighter fluid had gas u cant do that

[TwoTekah]

@ikowalczuk87 are you stupid? alcohol freezes at about -114 degrees celcius.

[hubertlolable]

@ikowalczuk87 yes you can alcohol has a freezing point of -40F

[urantivirus]

@ikowalczuk87 Impossible to freeze alcohol? Try keeping it a liquid below -120C.

[WillGo7]

@ikowalczuk87 is that supposed to have any meaning?

[nickbhalo]

I like how people keep guessing what it is when they say in the description

[halloweenspecial3000]

u just put oli and alcohol

[i420kids]

@griffinmsmith lol fucking retard

[msduckfuck]

if you pause the video at 5 seconds, you can see calcium carbide

[AmericazGotTalentYT]

@msduckfuck Yeah that or sodium or something like that.

[ghk913]

Read the description you idiot.

[XxmcdxX]

ever tried fried ice-cream b4?

[acbonner93]

Frozen alcohol? lol. It's calcium carbide. Basic chemistry. Still looks pretty sweet.

[Mrcode12345]

it is frozen gasoline thats eisy

[sittinturd]

frozen alcohol



[ramalahma]

frozen alchol

[apard7]

its frozen petrol>?

[droidca9]

Ok so uhm why isnt the ice melting?

[CroixJosef]

WOAH thats so cool how the 2nd one just went BOOM and fell ff the ice!

[rezathepersian]

yea thats sure to cool u off -.-

[gokartspeeder]

Chemistry is just awesome.

[antartica101]

Guys, even if it was a flammable liquid that was frozen......I don't think it'd work that way..................But heck what do I know.

[FunnnnyDrake]

I knew it was calcium carbide. That stuff is effing sick

[sausagesnac]

its called a propane hose coming in the bottom

[WackyWadslow]

@sausagesnac I hope you aren't being serious...

[xRiceAzn4Eva]

it's either alcohol, most likely, or gasoline thats used to start fires on charcoal grills, frozen

[DeathSeekerism]

is that alchol thats frozen into ice cubes

[XyelleX]

@DeathSeekerism U can't freeze alcohol...

[Lavers15]

@XyelleX You can freeze anything, ethanol freezes at 172 fahreneit

[Odnanluis]

thats ethanol(alchool) frozen

[MrDeviant911]

"With fire and Ice the dream won't come true" SARAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

[Daftpunkrules1000]

 its just a frozen flammable liquid

[qweqpo4224]

there is a heavy flammable gas in the bowl and wen you add the ice it adds the illusion of the ice being on fire

[TheCoffeeblue]

frozen alcohol... STRONG alcohol

[IrkenInvaderKyle]

Its not the ice thats on fire.

[lomu42]

Frozen water from hydrogen unit

[hanz1324]

Alcohol? Frozen? Alcohol?

[eggrawr]

@hanz1324

if it is, can u still drink it?

[hanz1324]

@eggrawr No you cannot... xD You might get poisoned when you use that in a drink...

[mozuguru]

its a frozen batch of water taken from a hydrogen unit !!!! thats why it pops like little fire crackers....i know my chemestry !!!!...and i just made some lol

[plrokster309]

Calcium Carbide and Water, it produces highly flammable and shock sensitive acetylene gas.

[Jolinee6]

shale gaz anyone...



[trentk268]

High alcohol-water azeotrope

[catslayer00]

HOLLY SHIT HE ADDED GASOLINE! :P

[jacob12marcelo]

its not frozen fuel read the discription

[junkwon0917]

Its frozen alchocol

[pyrosinugami]

methane contaminated water huh? type in flammable tap water in you tube search

[Banzay27]

Freeze a flammable fuel then light it up. Whoopidee-fuckin-doo.

[foreverfamous726]

chemical warfare kill us with water

[BuyDerrGoods]

This gave me the best idea ever freeze gasoline and make gas-ice-bombs! Idk if it will work but ill try!

[TheWhysohate]

It,s so easy, just freez some benzen/ lighter fluid then light

[legosoldier12345]

00:20 boom! lol

[strandedneighbor]

the ice was never on fire. there was somethingg placed behind the bowl when you threw the first match the thing took a few second to catch fire giving you enought ime to throw the second match onto the ice. as you can see the first one got thrown in back and the second one went out on contact with the ice. right beochhhhhhh

[ShadowSerris]

Welcome to Internet, enjoy your stay.

[dangboy101]

i bet that ce smelled alot like gasoline..

[FatBabiesWithAids]

YA PAUSE AT 4 seconds or so and you can see little pellets in the pyrex dish

[cecale78]

If you stop it around 3 or 4 seconds, you'll see little rocks in the bottom of the bowl. That is probably Calcium Carbide. It releases acetylene gas when it comes into contact with water. The gas is flammable which melts more ice which causes more gas.....etc.

[Raikara]

@cecale78 Yea..., that looks like you really know it...., to bad the entire process is written in the description, and you added nothing new...., just sayin...:P

[orika001]

is it possible to freeze a gasoline and light it up? sorry for the stupid question

[TechnoDogge]

IT'S A TRAP

[coloradoboy89]

well obviously most gases that you could freeze u cant handle with your hands, just as if u froze alcohol. it would be way to cold to handle by hand. The only thing i can really think of it having the alkali earth metals within the dish or all over the ice.

cause most people know that the sodium group with light on fire within the presence of water. so if you slightly heat up the ice to have some water form then it will catch fire. if that isnt it well idk. good video

[Hamodyxxx0]

frozen gas

[TheChemistryguy99]

its tap water



[getdown1983]

:The relativ atom masses are to handel (addit) with (g/mol=x*10^-36) for the exactly molecularmass, divide it by the number of atoms and verb they paralell to the exactly ratio you want. You can to addit the sames atoms before do the paralell verbs.

It is a kind of magic sure.

Amazon.de sell an periodensystem with relative atommasses and more (study knowledge).

I like the texas instrument calculators (not the cheapest.)

[Jezrak]

Calcium Carbide added to ice.

[KyleWhyTheScienceGuy]

THATS FROZEN HYRDOGEN

[MrZakkD]

@Yaldeh55 You can't freeze alcohol, because it's alcohol.

[TheAllamerica]

u froze some type of flammable liquid? hairspray?

[armeniko97]

thats freezing methane; like freezing carbon dioxide so obviously it would be flammable

[bibilalala]

@armeniko97 i was just about to say that :) kudos to you sir

[frap129]

simple. the tray was rubbed doun with oil before the vid was shot

[iHDediting]

calcium carbide makes acetylene with water

[t3subde]

it's probably petroleom frozen in water or liquid nitrogen

[edulitto1]

well im not sure but I think its flameble liquid frozen in liquid nitrigen? right?

[chillaxz16]

0_________0 ice FAIL it burned



[0SukMunky0]

Looks cool.

[oreoash123]

i was going to say vodka

[dodsonsth]

Could methane or natural gas in your blood lead to spontaneous combustion?

[MasonMars]

it is like lightning

[Ichigohollow121000]

OWCH ITS HOT!!!!!!! *moves hand a little* awww... that feels good... XD

[MrMrAmerican]

@Ichigohollow121000 So, did you move your hand closer, to get to the ice, or away to escape the heat?

[sagontag98]

Ever heard of gasoline

[culturaleyes]

Ice Fire.  that sounds like an 80's metal song

[SuperAngelofglory]

CaC2 + 2H2O = Ca(OH)2 + C2H2

[westexchi]

cant figure this out? BULLSHIT! there is gasoline in your water supply! don drink your tap water!

[SuperAngelofglory]

@westexchi or 2Na + 2H2O = 2NaOH + H2

[RadioTrefoil]

@westexchi Well you're clever. -.-

[Darpinion]

I just watched a documentary on demand on HBO and it was about our water sources in America being contaminated by natural gas. People were lighting their tap water on fire and it was HIGHLY flammable.

[Tricky569]

froze lighter fluid in ice cube blocks

[asdnathan123]

ever heard of gas?

[MaryGreeley]

Must have natural gas in the water. I have heard about this problem.

[rogantu]

either what Nateames76 said or:

you made liqour or some alcohol into ice and lit the icecubes.

[TrianglesInSpace]

its a frozen flamibal liquid? :D

[phjLOKO]

Come on people! I'm only 13 and i'm learning trigonometry. It's obviously not the ice cubes themselves. It is a chemical put into the ice. Also did you notice that the ice slightly melted before combusting? Pure sodium when with water is a very explosive mixture. Although when chloride is combined with sodium it makes NaCl otherwise known as salt. Chloride is also very deadly and when by itself can also be known as mustard gas. Think about this for a second. Chloride or sodium mixed with what?

[phjLOKO]

It's actually quite simple. Accidents with natural gas can cause chemicals from the earth to flow into say well water. Natural gas is not a good alternative for oil and coal. Nuclear energy can be recycled until over 99% of the energy has been re-used. Geothermal may cost quite a bit to begin although when a geothermal plant has been installed it wastes no resources and can be done year-round.

I even interviewed George Scheid from Thermasource and he agrees geothermal energy is efficient.

[Shatter415]

@phjLOKO Geotheremal is one of the worst energy sources. Do you enjoy earthquakes? You'll have plenty of them if you build geothermal. That steam coming up isn't exactly clean either. Every kind of gas, mineral and natural toxins came come up with it. Take a look at teh USGS earthquake map for California. North of SF you'll see a lot of activity. Zoom in. That's a geothermal plant.

[RectalSpoonNinja]

@Shatter415 How do geothermal power plants cause earthquakes? I thought the water was contained in pipes...

[TheM1Studio]

0:16 you can see a fog rolling out of the dish in the top left corner...acetylene gas

[808tainment]

@TheM1Studio wow, no shit! thats why its ice

[juacoredx]

the answer is in the description faggots...

[zeon991]

isn't this having something to do with the air in the ice? so when the flame heats the ice the air is being released and the flame burns it? srry i rlly sound like a retard

[MrYama9262]

@zeon991 youd be correct had that been iron

[nicxtrem21]

Its tap water!

[PSPPRODUCTIONS1]

its some type of chenical frozen ass hole

[HellomynameisNarce]

It's actually gas cudes? Not ice cubes? lol

[SZumdahl]

Have any of you ever read a description? He tells you how he did it, you do not have to restate it, and some of you wrongly explaining it.

[MrBuddyLightfoot]

I see the small pieces of what looks like carbide in the dish just before he is putting the ice in . Carbide is used to make acetylene . Coal miners in the old days used it on their helmets for light no wick necessary . All it needs is water and it will burn.As you can see once the match melts some ice it burns more rapidly . Improper use of this can cause a terrible explosion and even death. Thats why the purchase of it is guarded .

[RoyalDragonusa]

Are you in NY by chance? Or near a Natural Gass well?

Check out this:

Ignitable Drinking Water in Candor, NY, Above Marcellus Shale

[bronymac]

you put gas on the ice

[TOMAHTOS]

When the Ice melts the water reacts with the calcium carbide (place on the bottom, pause the video at the start) to produce acetylene gas and calcium hydroxide. The acetylene gas then explodes into flames when a match is place on top. It will continue to burn even as the ice melts because it keeps producing acetylene until the calcium carbide runs out

[TheFr1ch]

its propane ez win

[anarchist10291]

its an ice made from alcohol. hehe:D

[nobodynoz11134]

@anarchist10291 you cant freeze alcohol dummy

[XxTaylor88xX]

@nobodynoz11134 Explain please....

[darron777]

@nobodynoz11134 you are wrong alcohol freezes lower than10 degrees so if you try freezing it all you will get it very doluted alchol water witn a very weak smell of alcohol and can not burn due to its low alcohol level

[thenightmare485]

@nobodynoz11134 there is a way to but even if u did it wouldnt be clear like that

[yoooh69]

wats this and icy hot commercial!?

[DesmondHsu]

fammable gas in ice?

it's definitely not the ice(h2o) that is burning......

[NitrosKB]

Normally I dont hate... But some of you are really dumb. Read thr freaking description. That's the correct answer

[explosivedoubt]

I'm not drinking the tap water in your town.

[MFGROCKS]

u broak science smooth move buddie

[skiendog]

pressurized propane gas, frozen inside icecubes. we did it in science class :)

[ty4mem]

this brings a whole new meaning to snowballs

[stranger1324]

yo he put matches in the ice u could see him throw them nd the popping is the bubbles in the air bursting

[nwascorpio]

Why is everybody convinced that ethanol and methanol freeze? The temperatures needed would require equipment that is not found anywhere on the consumer market. Is general knowledge science truly lost on the whole of the YouTube audience?

[tehremnantz]

@nwascorpio yes it is well not completly lost you me and some others have common knowledge in the fields of science and some more advanced knowledge in science....were the last of our kind O.O

[tom123216]

it is frozen carozene.

[rtsd11]

cool if u are 5 and don't may trow something on newyear thats cool

[MisterTHX1138]

Calcium Carbide. You can see it in the bowl during the first few frames

[allhailfoamy1]

i vidily study alchemy book has well has chemistry and to see this after reading the info i can say it's nothing truely special....which is why the religion freaks at school hate me because i use logic to explain things such has thought pattern and emotions which they believe to truely be the work of some higher being way i see it fuck all religions and then more then 1/2 the wars won't start....so sad that common sense is none at all common.........owell back to my alchemy and chemistry books.

[slimjim561]

ITS JUST FROZEN LIGHTER FLUID!

[nwascorpio]

@slimjim561 You can't freeze lighter fluid....Think before you type...

[slimjim561]

@nwascorpio NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[ChocoCookieDelux]

im 2nd grade, and i even know this is kalium. Im from holland by the way.
