    It's actually quite lethal, if you leave water in a car durring the winter and go to take a sip, if its still liquified but below its freezing point you can actually cause some serious damage to yourself, that can be fatal.

    Captain here: balloons have some sort of powder on the in- and outside to prevent the rubber from sticking. These particles can will initiate the nucleation and hence causes the water to freeze. So, only if you happen to have a balloon that is almost clean of particles and filtered water you will stand a chance to make super cooled water in a balloon.

You can't drink it from the bottle of course it would not come out the solid stuff so easily after nucleation, but put the ice-water into a cup and chug it up, liquid and solid melting instantaneously in your throat, too fast for your to gag with the solid crystals, but messy enough for you to gag with air and liquid cold water. =D

    You can also do this outside the freezer using a bowl of ice and salt and a small bottle partly filled with pure water. Benefits of this smaller approach is it’s almost guaranteed, it only takes 5-20 minutes and by adding a couple of thermometers (measurements down to -20 deg C) and a stopwatch, you can make a cool kids science project out of it … you also get to see the pretty amazing temperature changes involved in the whole process. Try it and see for yourself ☺️👍

    What I want to know is, if you were to be able to open the bottle without jolting it, and then try to drink it, would it freeze as soon as it got into your mouth, or would the movement not be enough to cause it to freeze? Honestly what I was wondering was if it would create a giant iceball in your stomach but probably not because I'm also thinking that then it wouldn't be cold enough anymore.

    I've done this by accident multiple times using store-brand spring water. I have a small cooler that I keep cold using bottles of water frozen in the freezer. After freezing the same bottles over and over again, eventually one will end up supercooled and I have to shake, squeeze, or bang it to get it to freeze. It never turns into ice though, just super cold slush.

  • @koahzvika

    I used to be able to do this consistently with Dasani water. That was when Dasani was new to the mass market. Since then the bottle and probably the water itself has changed and now it's much more difficult to recreate. It seemed to me at the time that a few factors were responsible. The bottle was thick (rigid plastic) and well sealed, which kept the water under pressure and ice crystals from forming. Water is naturally denser at 4 C than when frozen, but keeping the bottle under pressure extends this dense state to temperatures below freezing. A freezing point a few degrees below 0 is then required to exert enough pressure on the casing to form ice crystals. To test this, simply open or gently puncture the super-cooled pressured bottle and it will turn to an ice crystal. There are probably other methods, such as using monopolar ions or electrical currents, but I would venture to guess that in the common super-cooled water bottle trick, pressure plays a significant part.

    I am in a high school advanced physics class and we were talking about this last week. I tried to explain the trick like how you did, but was shot down by my teacher. She said the reason why it freezes when you bang it is because there is a little bit of pressure in the bottle, and when you bang it the top of the bottle opens slightly to let air in, releasing the pressure and freezing the water. This explanation accounts for why the water freezes from top to bottom also. Secondly, why do you say that you need very pure water for this? The trick works for soda too. Although it does turn into slush and not a solid mass. Lastly, my father does this trick all the time at work and will have the liquid sitting in there for no specific amount of time, and the liquid does not freeze on its own. Can you explain all of this with your understanding of how the trick works? Your response would be much appreciated and it will be shared with my advanced physics class. Thank you!

    Kassie Comerio You need very pure water so as to ensure the total absence of sediment which will act as hygroscopic nuclei when the water freezes. Also, I believe that the reason why the water freezes from top to bottom is because the vibration of the blow travels to the top of the bottle, where it pushes the molecules into each other, forming solid. Just a thought though, my knowledge of physics is very limited :/

It happened fairly often to us, we'd go to pull out a water bottle that wasn't frozen and we'd be assholes and slap the other person's bottle in hopes that it would freeze over. We got it to happen a lot but never a completely solid block. Most of the time it was just a bunch of chunks of ice like in your failed attempts. Extremely cool and thank you again!

    This is an interesting principle, and it's worthy of note that it also applies to other substances. Interestingly enough, these substances don't need to freeze at 0 degrees Celsius - the cooling just has to progress below the solidification temperature natural for that substance. As the crystals form, the temperature of the liquid will go back up to the temperature of solidification. This principle is used in hand-warmers - the "click" you hear is a little piece of metal that, when bent, provides a seed on its surface for the crystals to begin forming. As they form, the temperature of the resulting solid rises - and this provides the heat that warms your hands. As to where the heat comes from, I can't recall, so you'll have to look it up. ^^

    I've done this with a glass bottle of beer, and was successful on the first try. In fact, it was recommended to me that the experiment is much more likely to succeed when using beer than water. My guess is because of the distillation process when making alcohol reduces the number of nucleation sites, but Derek maybe you could do a follow up on that.

What if you flip the bottle before hitting it ? Based on your explanation, it seems the freezing could start from anywhere (particules could start aligning up in the middle of the bottle), but videos seems to show otherwise, always from the top.

    The reason it took multiple attempts to pull this off with so-called "pure water" is because Fiji isn't "pure water." It's ground water, so by its very nature, it should have salts (aka minerals) dissolved in it. This is pretty common for bottled water as drinking water usually isn't "pure" water. If you want this to work better, try distilled water, as it actually is just water. It's not very good for drinking, and you won't find it in small bottles for that very reason, but because it has very few to no dissolved salts, it should have no available nucleation points. That's also why you shouldn't microwave distilled water. If you pull it out and it isn't visibly boiling, breaking the surface tension can cause "superheating" (to make up a word), and the water will actually explode out of the container as steam is instantly released.
