Ice Heart Maker

This toy was made as a prototype by an international toy company, but has not yet been produced commercially.

The two blocks of aluminium are extremely good conductors of heat. So, when an ice cube is placed on the bottom block, and the top block is then placed in position, the weight of the top block and the fact of the high thermal conductivity of the two aluminium blocks, produces an extraordinary effect.

The ice cube melts away in front of your eyes, leaving just a heart shaped block of ice in the middle. It is hard to believe just how fast the ice cube melts!

Fantastic physics!

Mister can i come and spend a concrete part of my life with you?

Melting through rapid heat distribution. How curious, I don't recall ever quite having such a notion.

It's too easy if you use heart ice tray.
