I think you're right. The bottom line is who really needs clear ice! It was fun to experiment to see how to make it clear though. Thanks!

satisfying to watch

mad respect for you. you could've easily made it lengthier but kept it concise.

Well this quite clever even though it is something that I never wondered about. Thanks 😊

Ice with less impurities and O2 melts less quickly keeping your drinks cool with minimal dilution. Also clear ice looks awesome.

“Hey Chris - wanna come to my party tonight?” ..”what kinda ice do you guys have there?” “Umm, regular ice?” ..”sorry, you didn’t even give me time to make you some cool ice, no can do! 🧊 “ “Erm, ok... .. ???!”

This process is what powers the ocean currents. When Ice freezes the molecules expand and form a matrix so perfect that there is no room for any impurity’s. In the case of sea ice, the salt is forced out of the water and the heavy cold salty water sinks to the ocean floor. That temperature is almost uniformly 2 to 4 degrees Celsius throughout the oceans at depth. The only other time water will display this matrix-like structure but at room temperature is surface tension. The 1 or so millimeter of surface tension affected water is also pure. It too will form a matrix so close that impurity’s will be forced out. Needless to say, I find water fascinating. Thanks for the videos you do.

Very Cool. I've always found clear ice fascinating. The kits to make clear ice are slowly getting cheaper - $30 on amazon. I'll have to give it a try sometime. I think I have a foam cooler or small lunch box laying around somewhere. I thought about drilling a holes in some of the cheap silicon ice molds and see if I could get them to work with a cooler like yours.

In a land Down Under we call that a ‘bread knife’ darl! (You’ll have to watch ‘The Castle’ to REALLY get it😜)

Wow

Sweeeeeet!

I find 36 hours in my freezer give me the thickness I want. I cut the ice with my oscillating saw, with a blade I only use for ice. To finish off the cubes, I heat up a frying pan and using tongs to hold the cubes I can square them off and polish the sides.

So I really enjoyed the discovery process and clear ice outcome. But too much work just to cool my beverage 😎

What if you made a silicone mold of an object could you then make clear ice of the object? Or does it need to have an open bottom?

Freeze water from a zero filter in trays. Watch what happens. The ice actually climbs straight UP like upside down icecicles

The longer you leave it, the thicker the ice becomes at the top plus it starts to freeze from all directions eventually creating a large block of ice that is cloudy. I found the thickness is perfect for ice cubes at the 17 hour mark. But it's all about experimenting. Give it a go.

if you have a vacuum chamber that works well too. another way to remove all the air is to boil the water to remove all the air. if the the superior method tho, much less work that the two ive mentioned, and more efficient in terms of electricity/resources used

Past 17 or 18 hours depending on your freezer, it will start to freeze from the bottom and sides. and start to trap the air in parts of the ice which is thicker and harder to carve off. It's all about experimenting though. Give it a go.

See my other comment from another poster, but for me, 25 hours is the sweet spot and the ice is not solidly frozen, but you get a thicker block of ice to cut

If I want to freeze a small object like a coin or ring in the center of the ice block, how is that done?

What if you freeze it longer than 17 hours, or you freeze the whole water mass solid? Will it still be clear?

I typically allow my cooler to stay in the freezer around 25 hours. It will depend on the freezer temperature as it's set, but I have found 25 hours to be the sweet spot. Not solidly frozen, but allows the bubbles to dissipate and is as clear as can be.
