You can do with yourself since we're mostly water. I sat in the freezer for a good 2.51 hours and when I got out I was still mostly water. I then had my friend slam me into a wall and I became ice for about 8 hours. So it's fun but a little time consuming.

I was fascinated by this after a 20 year mystery of what I personally experienced. I had one of those blue plastic bottles with children's kool aid in it in the freezer. When I took it out, it froze in my hand before my eyes! I wasn't sure if I imagined it for all these years.

I learned about super cooled water on the discovery channel when I was a kid. And when I told my mom about it later, she told me to stop making things up. I feel vindicated now.

Great episode! I love the way you people at SciShow present scientific subjects in such a vivid way. You are my role-models :) Thank you for doing what you do. Greetings from Berlin, Lisa

That pun earned my like

I first heard of this phenomenon in chemistry, when we were _boiling_ water. Our teacher actually warned us to put "boiling stones" into the round-bottom flasks when we heated them, because otherwise the liquid could superheat and then boil all at once, apparently resulting in an explosion of the flask. My teacher said that he would actually scrape the bottom of new flasks (he actually thought it was unfortunate to scratch such pristine glass work,) so that we couldn't do this.

That was a cool episode! I learned of that process in school, but to actually see it in action, BAD ASS... 2 thumbs up!

Watching this in 2021 and boy am I happy with the evolution this dude has made over the years 😅

How to make supercool water: 1. Pour some water in a cup. 2. Put really dark sunglasses on the cup. Super cool.

What happens if you drink super cooled water? Does it freeze inside of you or does it heat up too fast that nothing happens?

@RikoLime

9 жыл бұрын

Well if youve ever watched other videos about this, you know that first, even opening the container without causing it to form ice is extremely hard. I once watched a lengthy video on a tutorial of how to make "instant slushie" using supercooled water. The guy had some 20-something bottles to use, and only about 3 of them didnt instantly freeze due to some event before opening them. If you even managed to get that far, I would assume, seeing as how it takes any slight movement or jostling of the liquid to make it form ice - that it would form into ice bits when it hits your tongue or enters your mouth, especially since your mouth is full of food particles and bacteria. If it didnt, and somehow did make it down your throat, pinching the whole way through your muscles and beginning of your digestive system - into your stomach, it would hit a liquidy mess within your stomach that is hotter than your outside. In other words, on the very rare chance that it does make it to your stomach, it wouldnt freeze, because its like adding a cup of cold water and hot water together - all you do is make warm water. Now.. you might have a slight tummy ache from the sudden shift in temperature, but thats your own fault. (Keep in mind your body needs anything in your stomach to be body-temperature to digest). Ive had really hot soup with really cold soda before. It DOES kinda cause tummy upsets. The shift in temp.

it would freeze inside your mouth. but it doesn't freeze into a solid ice cube like you're thinking, it freezes into a slush

...yeah it's awesome and really interesting...especially when it happens in your mouth and throat. Had a few water bottles sitting in my car during winter. Freezing temperatures outside and i was about to head to work. I needed to take me meds at that time and so guess what? i grabbed that bottle of water and drank from it. once i started drinking it i noticed that it was becoming hard to swallow, thinking it was the tablet...nope, the damned water crystallized right in my mouth and throat...damn near almost choked...but was so fucking awesome. now the part i don't get is how that happened. It was the same bottle i had drank from during that week so it already had things in it that could cause the nucleation...but it didn't...until i drank it that one, awesome morning. and it was not even purified water. so i just so happened to make this work by some chance and diving intervention from the ice god of ancient greek or viking...idk

This is so awesome! I love the idea of scishow experiments :D

On the other hand, it is also possible to achieve a similar effect with soft drinks, although there is a much smaller temperature window as their sugar content obviously creates ample nucleation opportunity.

TheWulf899 well thats before the water even contacts the water in your body. Your mouth and throat are lined with something else, and you don't hit core temperature water till about your stomach. But the reaction is almost instant so it would most likely freeze your throat to the point the muscles wouldn't even let you breath and you would suffocate before freezing your core temp.

No, sorry. This notion came about because hot water _cools_ faster, so a cup that's twice as hot will take less than twice the time to freeze, but still takes longer to get to zero. Temperature changes faster when the teperature differences are higher. Put cups of water at 100C and 50C in the freezer and the hot cup will get to 50C much faster than the cool cup will get to 0C. People then intuitively think the hot water has some "momentum" at that point and will get from 50 to 0 really quickly, but in fact follows the same path from 50 to 0 as a cup that started at 50.

Really good presentation bro

In contrast, you can also superheat liquids under similar conditions, and it has the same effect but instead of being unable to form into a solid, the liquid is unable to form into a gas until it forms a nucleation site. I found out about this when making agarose gel...here's a tip: make sure the Duran bottle is pointed *away* from you when you swirl it, unless you want boiling agarose gel to splash you in the face.

A very interesting phenomenon happened when I was in the desert. We took our cold bottles of water out of the fridge (not a freezer) and when we shook our bottles they would freeze into a slushie. Add a 3in1 coffee packet and for us Canadians it was instant Ice Capp in Afghanistan. Pretty cool .... literally.

You're joke at the end was adorable >

Thx for the explanation

The effect of pH on anthocyanins in red cabbage is a nice show. I also really like the chemical garden experiments.

This happened with my frozen juice! It was in the freezer for days. I'm surprised sugar and flavor didn't provide nucleation sites! The little ice bits looked like mold for a minute, I was freaking out that my freezer broke and was so relieved when the freeze spread! It froze a lot slower than supercooled beer does

I have found that Gatorade G2 is really easy to supercool. The really smooth inside of the bottle and the added electrolytes make the perfect conditions to supercool the liquid.

Nice explanation.

Did this twice, once by accident and I was amazed and again just to prove to others that it really happens...

you know what else is supercool? this show :D

The freezer compartment in my mini fridge is at the perfect temperature so that anywhere from 3-6 hours after putting in a room temperature bottle of water, it is super chilled and will freeze into a slushy consistency when shook. It’s pretty nice always having ice-cold water on hands, and it keeps itself ice cold for about an hour or so after freezing over 🥶 I tried chugging it once without it freezing over first and it actually started to freeze in my mouth/ esophagus which was an extremely odd sensation and probably presents a choking hazard, be cautious if you try it yourself. I also noticed that the texture of super chilled water is extremely soft-looking and moves a bit differently than non-super chilled water. Which was weird and got me thinking about what the molecular interactions of super chilled water molecules in a liquid form must look like. Also, when I showed my mom/ other friends it blew their minds, which was fun

That is so cool!!! I am so trying this

Been freezing bottles of water for about 2 years now, since ice cold water is all I drink. Just out of the tap for the most part, and this happens occasionally, it's pretty cool to flick the bottle and watch the ice expand from the impact site, or just shake it and see the entire thing turn into slush in an instant. Always has a weird almost creamy texture when drinking it afterwards though.

THAT IS AWESOME

My friend always does this with his water bottle and it blows my mind every time he does it.
