Supercooling Experiment 1

[3yxxxy3]

if iti was warmer out side than that would not work right? only if it was capped?

[yenawine5150]

this works rarely when i put soda in the freezer for a couple hours

it doesn't happen too often, but when it does it is easily the greatest drink ever

[MichaelJackson9091]

waht do u mean ice crystals

[gamerjoe16]

Fake And Gay

[bob0rama]

@gamerjoe16 Its real water, and water does not have a gender identity. So thats -2 so far.

[mattyjoe03]

i tried this but i forgot about it and it froze completely

[screamingblue7]

I've seen something close to this with a supersaturated solution with a few crystals added, but this looks hokey for a few reasons. First, if it was ice, then shouldn't it be expanding to slightly larger than the bottle? Second, it's really more a slush than a crystalized mass. Third, I might be a bit off on the exact triple point of water, balancing pressure and temp and volume, but having frozen plenty of water bottles in fridges and freezer, never seen this & doubt enough pressure builds up.

[Vandius24]

its a cem called sodium acetate look it up on youtube

[rahulksen]

LOL thats not ice crystals thats sodium acetate

[maplepop]

cool (get it... cool) :D

[jurassicmaniac3]

From what I know, to do this you need distilled water, that is, water which is pure. Freezing and evaporation only occurs when there are nucleation sites in the water. So if you microwaved water for a minute, it will appear normal, however drop say a pinch of salt into it and it will explode

[TruJezter]

I really think this is sodium acetate But I'm not there to see.

[FlippyCatFanMan]

Wow..

[xana4ok]

Cool trick.

Liquids won't freeze unless it have some crystal form to attach to. like minerals or ice.

[AJ94Acura]

Try chugging that water....yikes. Would it work with distilled also?

[OracleGhandi]

It happens because, for ice crystals to form, they need to attach to something. The sides of the bottle are too smooth to attach to thereforeits only when he adds a bit of ice (any solid particle would have worked) the ice-crystals can suddenly attach and BAM! It freezes.

[katy666664]

im doing this for my science experament but i can get it to work how big are the ice crysals???

[123inyourdreams]

where can i find ice crystles

[nyk10000]

where do you get the "ice crystals"

[divez2]

sodium acetate? or really supercooled water?

[sweetheart613]

lol, we are doing weather in class and my teacher told us about this so i had to see it. this is badass

[BKauf32]

1. Take a bottle of UNOPENED water

2. Place in freezer for 2-2 1/2 hours (make sure not to tocuh the water at all during this time)

3. Remove from freezer

4. Drop in ice or hit on hard surface

5. Be amazed!

[KennMb]

cud u do that to a pool?

[iamianiam]

sodium acetate

[iloveleg0s]

u can just punch the bottle and itll do the same.....

[izanagi9]

hooray!!

[guywhohaspolio]

You can supercool boiled water

[ianlotus]

omg its ice-nine!! =0

jk, that actually happens it very cool, good video

[zezimashock]

why is your vinger not freezing?

[slavoljub666]

that's sodium acetate.....the ice didn't expand from the bottle

[JugglingMenace]

how can i do this at home?????

[ronniedamasta]

there not ice crystals its sodium acitate and yes its real what you see but if u drink it you will die but gud try

[54spiritedwill54]

hahah put a video of that up.

[faithm]

theres a chemical they add dudes

[outshimed]

It's not water, it's supersaturated sodium acetate. Drop a solid crystal in to seed it, and the reaction takes place which solidifies the whole thing.

Type "sodium acetate" in a search and you'll see the exact same type of reaction.

[Slotzan]

it's not water,

it's sodium acetate, the ice crystals do nothing but initiate the reaction

[quadraxis45]

how do you super cool water?

[danedaworld]

....wow freeze regular water, dont actually leave it so it turns hard, put in freezser for about 20 min, take out, the water should be -10- -20 degrees when u touch it, u make it hotter making it exactly 4 degrees which is water's expanding point and freezing point making it SUPERCOOL AND FREEz YAY

[evilmushiofdoom]

Ah, Ice 9... my dear friend...

[fundash]

I think the he puts sodiem acetrate in it or somping

[alejandrodr1903]

how they made this

[bluebikers]

For every one who want's to know just get some 100% pure water.Freeze it for 2 and a half hours and the take it out the hit it really hard and watch!

[AVerysimplename]

Ice Crystals are bits of snow. It happens to freeze Cuz it was already Supercooled..

[flightpro91]

its funny reading all the comments asking where to get or buy ice crystals.

[korn90jk]

where do youz gets dem cristalz frum

[ICutStuff1]

...snow?

[Broniewski91]

the snow... it's because it's disrupted not because what it's desrupted because of. I didn't know that either until not that long ago ;P

[AzraelMagic]

its just ice bro

[Imager123]

snow or fridge!

[DarkAngelProductionz]

snow dur.......

[HickTown23]

wtf!?

[karan83k]

he said he is dropping some ice crystals.. u can get them from your refrigerator.. :)

[keeperofgroove]

we getz dem frumz yur azz

[cheeseyayyummy]

Ice crystals are snow

[Paulendy]

ummmmmmmmm duuuuh "ice crystals" and oh my god!!! what is that behind the bottle... it's is ice! sorry for being a prick about it but that was obvious.

[PIKACHU49386]

ice crystals are ice...

[GarthDunk]

Cyrstals, snow.

[09kams]

*punches Korn90jk in the face for being an illiterate idiot.

[blackcrunchy1212]

lmao lmaolmaolmaolmao nice talking i like how you talk lmao

[ssnatcherss]

from the sky... no really, it's just ice crystals i'm sure

[gickymobile1]

the snow that everywhere on teh ground!

[thevideovlogger]

@korn90jk ohhh you mean ice?

[earweeno]

i dont get it

[mitchdude89]

dont you supercool water witha little salt to lower the freezing point?

[KrispyKangaroo]

It wouldn't work. I disagree with the "bad advice" signals, because it's not a bad question. Supercooling, unlike superheating, requires the water to be completely pure. Getting rid of "seed" air bubbles won't cut it. Supercooling is actually lowering temp to be below freezing point. Any disturbance enough to create a "seed" (including air bubbles or ice crystals). A little salt would cause supercooling to be impossible.

[SciFiClide]

a better substitute for salt is sodium acetate. it is a different type of salt and works much better than this it is cheap on ebay

[MegaNerd93]

@KrispyKangaroo Super heating also takes distilled water. There's a mythbusters video on youtube that shows that.

[Oxynox]

sweet.  check me out.

[devildude122]

how do you make supercooled water?

[WooserFilms]

Put it in the freezer until it's really cold (but still in a liquid state, for me it was an hour and a half), pull it out carefully, then shake.

[cybercab]

You lower the temp

[nosiriwonthaveapples]

yeah.

i tried.. and failed.

before supercooling point it always started to freeze a bit

[LenloTheTraveller]

was it pure water?

[indian838]

did u shake the fridge? cuz be sure u don't shake the fridge at all or make it move! cuz otherwise it will do that.

[Debbie321lopez]

1. Put a bottle of water in the freeze

2. Make sure its not opend befor

3. get it out of the freezer

4. Fun part: Shake it !

[indian838]

for how long?

[Gaz995]

1. Water expands when it freezes

2. In the video, it doesn't expand

3. Its sodium acetate

4. Youre a dumbshit and a douchebag.

You will now look this up on wikipedia and fail to reply to this. Now thats a good bitch.

[bob0rama]

@Gaz995 Its water. Only about 25% of the water freezes in this demo, and that means a volume chance of about 1% - so your eyes would not see the difference.

[soolkyut]

you can put a sealed bottle in the freezer, and take it out just before it freezes, the pressure it makes when expanding will keep it from freezing in the freezer, and when you crack it the pressure will be released and it'll freeze like thus.

[benthebest1993]

put a bottle ofpurified water into your freezer for 2-3 hours u can purifie water by boiling it and putting it in a bottle quick

[Joelduffy]

You don't purify water that simply. The evaporated water that is created as a result of boiling the water must be collected to have purified water.

[Gmanx16]

Well, you can kill bacteria/microbes by boiling but to get it purified you would have to distill it. You still would need perfectly clean equipment; so just buy bottled water since it is highly filtered and made in a relatively clean environment.

[TERRORcop]

how can i make that thing??

can u plz pn me!!!

[pimpfrmcali]

can u plzzz tem me where i can buy ice crystals and or can u make a tutorial.

[Ares925]

are you kidding me?

[cr9527]

ice crystals = ice....

[pookikat]

Uhhh, yeah, but.... you go outside and drop 2 ice crystals in a bottle of water, this is purified water, and there are no ice crystals able to stick to anything, so when he drops the other crystals into the water, the floting ccrystals attactch to those and so on, cause supercooling...

[youblocks]

Finally someone said it...lol. "Where can I get ice crystals?!?!" LOL.

[diskchrisco]

erm... ice crystals is merely ice... just small i think... lol

[aRazorsEloquence]

you can get ice crystals in your freezer. theyre called ice cubes. insanely full of ice crystals

[Germanswisscheese]

just snow

[crackfug]

ice crystals are just regular ice?:S its the water that is the thing. its below freezing point but its not freezed.

[jimmyharkin]

i did this by accident once and it scared the shit outta me! lol

[ercfrnss]

put a bottle of water in the freexer for 2 hours, take it out slowly, and hit it with your hand. voila.

[Sigrafix]

microwave heated distilled water.. stick something in and it will blow in your face scarring you for life..woo..

kids don't try this at home!

[Evilshonen]

Add salt to it, watch what happens.

[HMS55]

I believe the chemical added is sodium acetate? Can anyone confirm?

[starhunter94]

hey make a tutorial plz i whant to know how to do it.

it is so cool!

[firestarter8472]

pun intended ?

[devildude122]

i agree

[aubreywak]

i know that this is possable its just annoying that i cant do it coz it looks SUPER fun lol omg so lame

[bob0rama]

Superheating water is a great way to get 3rd degree burns... or is that 2nd degree? Don't you need charing for 3rd degree. Ouch? I'd have some supercooled water on hand either way.

[pattyomarly]

you can do the exact opposite with super heated water, it explodes

[runescape1050]

hahah put a video of that up.

[palmerfan1]

they did. thats why we can watch it.

oh and i heard you were asking about this and yes, red is a color

[slashen00]

I've done that before -.- My microwave is still pissed for that ^_^

[Pyrostryke]

I did that as an experiment. I wore an apron and and a welder's mask though. We had to be extra safe, just in case.

[aaronfargo76]

This actually just happened to me- pulled the bottled water out of the mini fridge (with small freezer on top) bottle was ice cold, but still was pure liquid inside- shook it before opening and liquid turned to ice in seconds. Took me by suprise- looked on youtube- here it is. It's not fake.

[willConquer]

lol low fat cheese

[bob0rama]

Fake, just like the moon landing... or low fat cheese.

[balderdash707]

HAHAHA

low fat cheese, man thats a good one. How exactly is this happening?

[SOHCNightmare]

@bob0rama

Your ignorance is amazing.

[TheKsr100]

@bob0rama that was the most stupid comment on earth.

[xicz13]

fake u put the gel stuff in the top

[torin321]

you are dumb

[heisenQ]

read the wikipedia article on supercooling. Don't criticize stuff as soon as it is posted

[dinmagic]

xicz13, you know how stupid you just made you're sound?

[sixpackdragon]

amazing
