fast freezing water

[4566056]

This is actually true! It was even on a T.V show! :D I did it, and it worked :3

[hillaryyzukerforever]

ala wei eso esta pajasa!

[13AxelRoxas]

I wish i could do that right now so hot x_x

[kyuubaclan]

....its sodium accelerate...

[Loco97Loco]

how to drink if its ice??

[MyStaTuStuDioS]

Bc u can keep purified water liquid below it's freeezig point. Until you touch t or shake it then it turns to ice

[MyStaTuStuDioS]

Is it purified water

[swatmaster55]

AWESOME !!!

[Mophead800]

It's happened before, but I've only seen it happen with beers. You can get an effect like that quicker by adding sodium acetate to water.

[jmpzairfan]

thats pretty cool

[Butterbiscuit2210]

cooooooooooool

[Sooper1337]

hot ice? seems more logical than some random phenomenon.

[maciejwrotek]

what if u put ur hand in it, will it freeze it ? what if u put head in it :D

[Butterbiscuit2210]

lol i wanna try

[maciejwrotek]

@Butterbiscuit2210 just dont use ur head or i will feel guilty

[Butterbiscuit2210]

what

[maciejwrotek]

@Butterbiscuit2210 dont freeze ur head in it. u have one, dont u ?

[Butterbiscuit2210]

yea

[maciejwrotek]

@Butterbiscuit2210 ok freeze ur head. :D if u want too

[varstamea]

the phenomenon is called "Supercooling". Check it on wikipedia

[superavrillavignefan]

i had a frozen bottle of water (spa reine) and it was in my fridge (not freezer) at about 4 celcius a week later i checked and the bottle was still frozen!! anyone have an explaation??

thanks

[T3HNaMe]

re wind

[Xxmanofaction12]

nope its called supercooling like varstamea said

[saadaky420]

it has happened me several time, i opened 7up bottle, and it freezes as soon as it opens

[onthetableproduction]

lol that happened to me at subway today! i opened the bottle of water i got, and it froze over!

[hopkinsbaseball10]

my science teacher did that for a expierement last year and thats not ice all it needs is something to hit.

[Xxmanofaction12]

yout right i have my supercoolde pure life water bottle i touched the icy stuff and its like slushy

[NxtGretzky88]

Im not sure why those posted there...the last two were responses...

[NxtGretzky88]

My initial guess is that there is some solvent in the water, which causes the water to be an aqueous solution thus lowering its freezing temperature. As water gets colder, less solvents will dissolve into it. But it can become super-saturated by dissolving something into it (such as salt) and then cooling it without agitating it. When it is agitated, however, the extra solvent comes out of solution and the water freezes, since its freezing point is now higher. This seems to be the case.

[Bedeekin]

It's a trick! I made a special effect on Harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban using the same stuff! It's called sodium acetate! You find it in those hand warmers!

[josefvichtl]

it's no trick; Anyway it could maybe done like that, - but the fluid in those handwarmers is not that solvent as this water!

[Bedeekin]

@josefvichtl A saturated solution of pure sodium acetate is water clear. Maybe not in the hand warmers... they may put additives in.

Anyway... maybe this is an example of water freezing... but I could replicate it accurately using sodium acetate.

[josefvichtl]

@Bedeekin This was just plain water, - maybe of course some minerals. I left the box with the bottles in the car over neight @-10°C. This happend in the morning as a wanted to get the box...

[Bedeekin]

@josefvichtl I stand corrected...

[baronofcheese]

@Bedeekin It's supercooled water, not sodium acetate.

[sendoris]

@Bedeekin fail its super cooling look it up

[dethmaul]

Wait, so how does the ice not expand and break the bottle?

[josefvichtl]

that's a good question! to be sure: I really don't know. Forgotten beer bottles in the deep freezer mostly break...

[sendoris]

@josefvichtl when the liquid freezes it doesnt expand it just freezes the water and makes it a slush type of thing and it almost instantly goes back to water when you wait a little bit

[falcon5001]

because the ice starts from the inside it caues no pressure to da bottle...

[dethmaul]

How couldn't the ice start from the inside?

[falcon5001]

I meant inside da water, it could have started

on the edge o da bottle...

[streetboy2k7]

can u make a tutorial

[madadivad1986]

cool...

[Stumoo]

Nice vid. The water is supercooled, which means it is below freezing point but is still liquid. It has not frozen because it has essentially got nothing to freeze onto. When the bottle is shaken, little bubbles of air are mixed with the water. This allows ice crystals to form. Once one ice crystal forms, others rapidly join it. Just one such ice nucleus is needed to freeze the whole bottle. Pretty cool huh?

[tummielvr]

Thanks for explaining that. I do retail mgmt and I keep a fridge in my store. When I open the store I will buy a bottle of Nantucket Nectar cranberry juice and stick it in the freezer. About four hours later, when I am ready to leave it is still liquid, until I shake the bottle, then it turns to slush. I always wondered why it does that...

[NxtGretzky88]

I dont think it has to do with air bubbles. It makes more sense to me that minerals or some other solvents are dissolved into the water, at a higher temperature, and then the water is cooled so it is super-saturated. The agitation of shaking it causes these minerals (or whatever) to fall out of solution. The freezing point goes back up, and it freezes. Just my initial reaction. I'm gonna have to test this theory haha.

[Stumoo]

Well distilled water can be more easily supercooled (or superheated) than water with impurities (by the way your notation is incorrect, water itself is the solvent, it has stuff dissolved in it). It seems unlikely that impurities are the culprit since distilled water is really easy to supercool.

[NxtGretzky88]

ah. i was worried i had the wrong one. that's what i get for pretending to know things that i only have a high school education in. so the only reason the water stays liquid is because it is unmoved? im not sure i understand.

[ElPopularVale]

HAHAHAHA WOOO!

[AAcrell96]

that cant be water!

[X9682]

oh but it is! lol, what happens is that

when the water stays at a certain temp.

like -5?..don't know. and its not messed

with some crap happens..learned it in science

but as you see I forgot =]

[Dallows65]

AAAAH THAT WAS AWESOME!!

[AliciaIsSoKool]

how did u do that? can u tell me pz?

[andreaxx6]

My water does that allll the time too!

I have this habit of eating ice, and so I freeze water bottles and then shake it and it freezes like that. :)

It's qutie convinient (sp)

[Gshegosh22]

This is distill water!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[liljetad]

do u just shake water in a cold temperature

[angryutuber001]

The water was supercooled, and the molecules didn't have enough time to form ice crystals because it was cooled so rapidly. Shaking it would allow the crystals to form, thus freezing the water instantly.

[xxemagxx]

I'm sorry but you are wrong. I do this all the time with bottled water from my refrigerator.

[sounnikoura]

Oooh, and why shouldn't the refridgerator supercool?

[adman266266]

my guess is a soloution of water and sodium acetate...check a video for hot ice

[labi5]

fake cause the bottle should brake cause ice needs more space than water

[yeahman109]

Plastic expands smart one... Go get a plastic bottle and fill it with pure water (distilled) and put it in your garage when temps are generally a little or much lower than 32 F and do not disturb the bottle for a day or 2 and when you go and shake that bottle watch what happens....

[NxtGretzky88]

You must be a scientist, with THAT level of irrefutable logic.

[DARKUNIVERSE97]

that is so awesome

[liljetad]

how cold doues it have to be to freeze that quick

[josefvichtl]

I didn't do it intentionally, - I was just too lazy to bring the box of water upstairs in the evening after shopping .

This was the unexpected result in the morning then (but only of half of the bottles)!

Siegi

[Cailly11]

thanks :)

[Cailly11]

How exactly do you do this? :S .. because i have a project to do and i need to know if any chemicals were added at all...salt,ice...whatever it may be...i need to know the exact way to do this..and if anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated :)

thanks a bunch!

~ Cailly11 ~

[manegement69]

just have a bottle of seltzer and bring it from room temp to -11 degress ferinhight and shake it once.

[GuitarGuy99099]

lol kool how do you do that?

[monkeyfuckingtweetle]

I wonder if you could pour it out and have it freeze in mid air?

[swaltz1991]

you have the best video on youtube!

[NightmareHavoc]

its so not cool

[v3N26]

That has happened to me a few times

[crudy1]

Happened to me with a glass bottle of nesta pure leaf lemon iced, as soon as I opened it it froze solid, but it was liquid when I took it out of the fridge which had been turned up too high.

[ratmallday]

thats so cool

[TheLittleCuteThing]

How strange, this waterbottle in the freezer says different.

Nub~

[TheLittleCuteThing]

Its called hot water + cool air = Steam

[TheLittleCuteThing]

If it had really frozen, then it wouldve expanded and the bottle wouldve burst, its a gel-substance mixed with water.

[Predwolf2]

It's called super-cooling, look it up.

[buttfudge666]

umm...no u dumbass,the bottle would only explode if the it was filled completely with water(no bubbles).

[jmarcoj1]

so you just so happened to be filming yourself going for a drink of water in below zero temperatures, this is the effect of polymer gels, not ice, gel. you can buy it in sports stores to mix with water to form a gel to cover and self-cool an injury

[cybaduck]

its mineral water right? its partly pure so just like boiling water freezing water needs impurities to freeze\boil. wen u mix it up the impurities rise and mix and FREEZE. same way u can superheat water past 100 degreese c

[tarheeltay]

yeah, i live in minnesota, and have a frige in my garage, and it happens all the time for us, we'll go out and half of the bottles will be frozen.

When you grab something that isn't it'll freeze just from picking it up, it does look really cool. if you slam them really hard against something, they freeze immediately, rather than working their way down.

[PabloManUK]

freaky :) but cool

[PreciousEarthquakes]

I would hate to accidentily drink that!

[buttfudge666]

LOL,ME TOO! HAHA!

[josefvichtl]

I'm not sure about the water. But I think it was "still" water, which means not extra carbonated.

[grg34b]

yeah its like the same thing aS Wwhen things are super saturated

[EliasPK]

It Should Be Really Cold Out There...

[marginator007]

it's called super-cooled water...you can also do that in a lab setting, it takes a bit of work to get it right. it stays a liquid until it's disturbed (e.g. being shaken) or tainted by a foreign substance, at which point it instantly freezes.

i've never seen it in a water bottle like that though, pretty cool!

[josefvichtl]

the curious thing was, that almost half the box of bottles in the car was frozen, the other one not. After watching the first bottles instantly freezing after shaking we realized that we should document that...

[ChuckNorrisLuvsBoosh]

WTF :S

[imthecity]

woah.
