we used a computer chip processing machine to bring the atmospheric pressure down to around 1 torr to freeze the water.

To answer some of your questions, this machine is as old as dirt and is only used in a classroom for demonstrations and how to detect leaks and so on... It did not cost 4 million dollars to freeze water. We did it after class "because we could". I would have put the original uncut video on but it took about 20 minutes to turn into ice. "kinda boring" bad enough to sit through 5 minutes. and no its not fake, anyone can do it with a strong enough vacuum pump. Hope this clears up any confusion.

  • no shit sherlock, he said it takes 20 minutes to boil into ice, if there was no gap, how long would the video have to be?

    Lets think a little, or atleast read the description bar.

  • I turned my computer on to work on a research paper. How did I end up watching this?

  • @SpecialJesse i agree, while you sit your butt down these guys make amazing discoveries stupid, why were you watching this if you think they are nerds

  • @will49111 indeed

  • id freeze that amount of water quiker in a standard freeze,. wtf.

  • So, I take the ice was 'warm'?

  • Thats cool as hell

  • @iXanderz Or maybe that's what they had planned, but then alien magician ghosts sneaked into the machine and reduced the atmospheric pressure to 1 torr, to mimic what they remember of their home environment.

    Inadvertently, this strong of a vacuum caused the water to turn into ice. What a coincidence that these guys were performing an experiment at the exact same time the aliens made their way into the machine. Now these poor guys think that you can make ice by supersaturating water with salt.

  • For everyone who doesnt know whats going on, they are lowering the pressure inside the container and when u do that the atoms of the water "stick together" and make ice

  • Pretty sure I figured this out... it's a supersatured salt solution and when it makes contact with a new surface it changes back into it's solid form.
