My most popular video on the web.

Combining science, and total awesome.

This video was chosen to be on the Discovery Channel show, Mythbusters. I exchanged many emails, and it's possible that this video will be in one of the episodes!

  • that is obviously sodium trihydrate, it is a chemical that does that if u melt it then cool it off - then dip some solid sodium trihydrate (which he had on his finger) into the water and it will turn back into sodium trihydrate

    thumbs up so everyone can see

  • just don't go swimming in this shit

see all

  • Hidrogeno liquido

  • Thats cool hey look up ( this this that card trick ) that's me

  • Jep mythbusters

  • @dodgeviper173

    sodium acetate (CH3COONa) *heated with* water (H2O) mixed with it at a 5:3 or 3:1 ratio = sodium acetate trihydrate *C2H3NaO2*3(H2O)*

    which is sodium acetate with more hydrogen molecules

  • @iCommenter66 i thought it was sodium acetate or are they the same?

  • how did I get here?

  • @cbrock323 it is obviously an exothermic reaction, the reaction wouldn't be possible if it wasn't exothermic... and "any heat will trigger a rapid release of energy" ??? .. sorry but not true... to set off the chemical reaction you need a catalyst (which in this case is the sodium trihydrate) .. the rapidly moving/solidifying chemicals cause the massive release of energy (the "ice" actually gets really hot.. you'll burn your finger if you let it solidify on it.. notice he was putting in n out)

  • @iCommenter66 its called an exothermic reaction and any heat will trigger a rapid release of energy. but im sure you knew that(;

  • You could also put it in the freezer for 12 hours

  • i make instant noodle.
