FLORIDA FREEZE Having Fun With Florida Ice Slow Motion MAKE CRYSTAL CLEAR ICE BASEBALL SWING

MAKE CRYSTAL CLEAR ICE

Okay, so I had some fun:-) This is me breaking ice in slow motion. I have been wanting to do this for a year or so. The original goal was to make Parabolic ice shapes to make fire from ice but there are some problems with that, too cold, ice turns white, only stayed below freezing for 19 hours, my shapes were too deep. Baseball Swing.

Top softball throw, 53 mph. Oh well:-) should have used baseballs.

All the ice turned to water, the plastic jug was recycled and the water plants survived the carnage.

Ice in Florida huh? Danged Global Warming. Same Global Warming put record snows in many parts of the Rockies too. We in W. Central Arkansas were touched by Global Warming also ..... back-to-back-to-back triple snowstorms leaving a total of up to 3 feet of the white stuff, rather than 10-12 inches we typically get all winter. Those record snows (well, since 1925 anyway) were held in place for weeks by Global Warming's sub-zero temps, not the normal 20's or so. Danged Global Warming, go away!

@offamychain We always get ice in FLA. In the 70's we dipped to 14f where we live. It Killed every Australian Pine on our property that year. This year 2010-2011 winter was one of the warmest on record in Central Florida. Not that that proves or disproves anything. Global temperatures are not generally related to an irregularly positioned jet stream.

I thought the clarity of ice had more to do with minerals on the water - or lack of ?

I did an experiment with hard and soft water in the freezer and the soft was clear and the hard no so.....

It does for perfection. Even double boiled distilled water will cloud at 10 F . The ice making machines in food places use a square tray that water flows all the time over, then the cubes are ejected to a trough collector. The ice is formed at 30F this way.

@GREENPOWERSCIENCE i have that camera :)

I can see how you would make snow. Roll on the winter so you can make it snow!

The ice is about 5/8" thick.. But who's counting?

Nice- didn't expect it to be slow motion ice breaking :)

I agree, I mean isn't it obvious that the huge nuclear fusion ball we float around, is actually responsible for cooling and warming our planet.

[catprog]

WRONG.

The sun is currently the COOLEST it has been.

If Pluto's small warming is due to the sun then Mercury (with it's much closer orbit) would have massive temperature spikes which is not occurring.

And if I add (0.1 times the number of values) to a range of random values between 0 and 1 there will be SHORT term cooling trends.

nice

it technically isn't warming then now is it? Scientist can also compare the temperatures on different plants. They have found that other planets were also warming do to the increased sun activity. You can't blame cooling and warming on man at the same time. Either one cycle or the other is occurring. It's pretty much common sense but some people don't get it. Our path from the sun and it's cycles are the primary drivers of warming and cooling.
