Thrown Boiling Water Freezes!

[EatingSnickers]

I feel like he had snow in the bowl...

[GliTterGoDesS72]

Kind of a fail

[IbarraVeronica321]

what the fuck?

[knickknack07]

OK..poeple.this is NOt the Mpemba effect. Because at no point does that water FREEZE. (ice doesn't flaot, morons!) The boiling water form a WATER VAPOR (which floats) and much of it doesn't do anything and falls to the ground STILL AS A LIQUID.

Seriously...doesn't ANYONE have the sense to look at what falls and see that it is LIQUID?

[keldorr]

@knickknack07 It does freeze, at least a most of it. The hot water easily 'breaks up' into tiny droplets ("turns to vapor") in the air, quickly cooling into tiny ice crystals. It's basically all about surface area. Cold water isn't as easily vaporized, droplets are larger, less surface area, so it takes longer to cool, that's why throwing a jug of cold water doesn't produce the same effect.

You've obviously never experienced fine, dry, snow, if you think fine ice particles won't "float".

@Geordie272: Thanks for the pointer to the "Mpemba effect." Great article.

All the best,

The Scientist

[Geordie272]

Abaj006 - it does freeze. It's not very clear here, other vids show it better - but that water is ice when it hits the ground. Look for 'Mpemba effect' on wikipedia'

[knickknack07]

@Geordie272 Not only does this NOT have anything to do with the Mpemba effect, but it doesn't even go with whathe Mpemba effect says. According to the Mpemba effecct, under VERY SPECIFIC conditions, hot water will freeze A LITTLE BIT quicker than cold water. The Mpemba effect has nothing to do with instantaneous freezing. The worst type of fool is someone who knows JUST enough to be dumb. And having read something about the Mpemba effect is no good if you didn't actually understand it.

[Geordie272]

@knickknack07 Crikey, you take your science seriously. Please don't blow a fuse on behalf of ill educated people like myself, I might even be happy to be corrected. Come on though - fun video huh?

[mrgixxer100]

ur kids is a retard

[MsFumble]

@mrgixxer100 It's a kid, shut up.

[abaj006]

It does not instantly freeze, its just steaming because its very cold, when he throws it in the air, it steams even more because it is spread thin....

[nobodypersonsomeone]

Do americans use celsius or fahrenheit??

[squrlskatesenjoi]

fahrenheit regularly.

[chris7127]

@nobodypersonsomeone fahrenheit

[awsomecrossing]

@nobodypersonsomeone I like how you classified Americans as their own people. Because we are. And we do shit our way. Sucks.

[TheSplatter21]

@awsomecrossing Hell yeah! bro

[bu77er555]

its -26.11c not -45c

[MrSheen95]

If you can stand out there with no face protection on, its not cold enough..

[Pr0ject2]

i never knew that happens

[gcastro44]

i wish i can do it. i live in california in an area where the coldest it gets is 40 degrees fahrenheit. truckee or tahoe doesn't even get that cold.

[SteelRainAssault]

man i used to live in tehachapi CA it snowd a couple of inches

[jwboll]

@gcastro44

I'll trade you houses!

(just for the winters)

then you could do this almost every day for at least 5 months!

[bj616]

Possibly -15 F. isn't cold enough?

[dwnrety1]

the mythbusters did this at like -80c

testing if urine would freeze mid-stream

but only they used salt water @98.6degrees pouring from a graduated cylinder with a ball valve and a little hose on the bottom to simulate urine and it didnt freeze.

[darthsableye]

Lol, wtf with you guys and you weak temperature. I did it with -50C it worked fine.

[evrgrnn5280]

thats awesome. i live in colorado, i dont think ive seen weather where this is possible. but it can get damn cold here.

[Zedlav101]

Not cold enough. I did it in -50° F and the results were much better.

[mcwaddle]

for canadians thats -45

[wiggles3000]

looks like liquid nitrogen in the liquid state as boiling water in sub zero temperatures ould not produce that much steam

[DanTheManVideo]

Hot water in a super soaker.... SnowThrower!

[maximzb]

Hot water in a super soaker.... SnowThrower!

Lol ^^

[jaymall578460]

cool

[stephend]

"That didn't work" buzz-kill!!!

[laupiaslammas]

i dont think thats water... its liquid CO2

[gtg309v]

CO2 doesn't turn liquid in normal conditions...  it can be solid (dry ice) which sublimes to a gas.

[alr2009]

mike?

[MultipleDumbness]

i tried this with a pressure washer and hot water. neato

[windowwisher]

Where do you live I want to move there.

[xXgoROTinAsack89Xx]

two years ago, I did that and it turned into a stick of ice like an icicle

[mezol1zee]

haha, the kid is mr. captain obvious..."ah that didn't work..it hit the ground"...

[BARNOL666]

hahahhahahah

[motorcycleinsurance]

hahaha stupid kid...

[Wal3330]

WOAH!

[nd02av]

it works, i've done it here in bismarck. just down the road from fargo.

[12valvepower1]

FARGO is a good movie

[webboffin]

If it was that cold the moisture in your eyeballs would of froze

[Pimpmastahanhduece]

not if u keep blinking, which ur body does as a defense to extreme cold, which was needed to survive the ice age. actually boiling water freezes easier than cold because hot water has less surface tension making the droplets stay small as separated, more surface area, faster freeze.

[mr0scary]

smart

[MightyJustas]

REally?:) hehe, im not glad i did not do that in LT last winter when the weather was around -31C :)

[bigtonegtf]

and thatss why we have salt in our tears lol

[darealb1gd]

Yeah but after -40 C° our eyes freeze to^^

[Mozes3001]

Lame

[baller570g]

well no shit its going to hit the ground

[bdawg5415]

@baller570g its a kid dude

[TavarisJackson]

Fargo is soooo cold winter never ends

[gamer1324]

Holy Shit! "Fargo, North Dakota"... wow

[bobneub]

"the scientist?" Funny.

[BATTERI95]

where is that

[marauder121]

I remember i had to walk to work around that time, it was like -30f with windchill. definately got frost bite because my piece of shit car wouldnt start.

[mspscbl]

cool.

[snakpac]

dude it was so fraking cold that day and it just kept getting worse the whole week
