Water Instantly Freezes

It's called (((Potasium Nitrate)))...you know the stuff that makes an instant cold pack cold. When mixed with water at a overly high rate and agitate it it will freeze water..."Sodium Polyacrylate" doesn't become a solid until all of the moister is removed...which takes time or heat and slightly less time and then it reduces mass by the amount of water removed. Ie; onw teaspoon will absorb approx. 32 oz. water and have the consistancy of extreamly firm Jello. Thats why it's called "Water Gel"...

Also known as slush powder, this powder instantly turns a liquid into a solid. Sodium polyacrylate absorbs from 800 to 1000 times its weight in water and is actually the secret ingredient that's used to absorb "liquid" in baby diapers.

The a-hole filtering people is probably trying to sell this secret snow crap on eBay.

who can't even believe when someone tells them the truth....
There is no trick. this happens to my water bottles all the time. It blew my mind the first time it happened, but when i get in my car inthe morning and a bottle has sat and literally has frozen WITHOUT freezing to a solid. It remains liquid even at the seriously below freezing temp... Then as soon as I touch the bottle and create just a little bit of motion ' the water begins to freeze INSTANTLY' and you can watch it happen right before your eyes in a matter of 2-3 seconds, the water becomes solid :) It has only happened with unopened (new) bottles for me here and I assumed it had to do with the pressure inside the bottle from traveling to this altitude (9,600 ft) Everything has MORE presure IN it when it gets up here!

When I got to grab a nice bottle of water out of the fridge here in Iraq it tends to do that frequently. Concidering I've been stationed here for over a year i feel pretty safe that the unopened bottels of water don't contain concentraited amounts of Potasium Nitrate. But I'm just a grunt so what do I know.

It's called fiji water. Freeze it for 5 hours than take it out. Shake it a little and it will instantly freeze. f-ing people so stupid

Water can be supercooled down to about -40 degrees. Some antarctic fish live in a supercooled condition. You catch them on a lline through an ice hole, pull them out flopping and then they freeze the instant you lay them down on the ice. Pretty cool!

.

stick a bottle of water in the freezer, and wait a few hours, its still liquid, but its still very very cold in your hand, now shake the bottle or open the cap and pour it out or something (fun). it freezes when its disturbed like that, also works with other drinks in bottles, i know first hand when i am at work, we have bottled water and gatorade we stick in the freezer, and the gatorade when disturbed, turns to slushy from a perfect liquid, you see slush slowly moving accross the bottle its cool, but the bottled water instantly freezes to a clear ice when disturbed, with liquid in the center of the bottle.

thats alot of big words.use simple words.gosh!

Go to google. Type in "Slush Powder magic" find a magic store with a good price. Buy the slush powder and when it arrives mix it with water. This is a VERY COMMON magic trick using a silica gel. THIS IS NOT TEMPERATURE DEPENDANT, the idiots posting here who try to explain this by temperature are only attempting to make you the sheeple look like fools. Go buy some slush powder and amse the kids (dont eat it though or you;ll dry up like an egyptian mummy.

Pretty awesome stuff,a magician

The bottle is pressurized which lowers the freezing point of water. he then unscrews the cap to lower the pressure and o my god it freezes.

now how did he do that spookyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! becx

I had this happen as I'm drinking the water it solidifies in the back of my throat. It actually doesn't turn into an actual solid, more of a mush really, it's easy to try this just leave a sealed bottle of water in the freezer for a few hours, you have to get the timing just right thuogh, and when you take it out of the freezer it will start to solidify starting at the top then slowly towards the bottom, or sometime after you take the cap off. But it IS just ordinary water (actually my water is like triple or quadruple filtered using 2 or 3 different systems, so I'm not sure how impurities would affect the process, but they will probably hinder it). IT IS NOT POTASIUM NITATE, OR ANY OTHER CHEMICAL JUST WATER!

I am currently deployed to LSA Anaconda, Iraq. Because of the heat we keep most of our water bottles in freezer chests. (We drink so much of it that very few of the bottles get a chance to freeze solid.) It's become sort of a game to us to try to find the bottles that will turn to slush when we thump the bottom on something hard.

its called slush powder. i have some of it in my hand right now. you can buy it at any magic/trick shop. you use it in the good ol' vanishing water trick. put a small amount of it in the bottom of a styrofoam cup and ask someone in the croud if you could borrow their drink. pore some in the cup and then splash them in the face with it (or attemp to) it becomes a thick slush, allmost like a grainy jello.

there is also lightning powder. a form of potasium nitrate or somthing of a simalar composition that turns any liquid into a gell. it is used in certian magic tricks.

Notice how he didnt show the top of the water bottle when he was mixing up the water. That was because he was grasping the sides of the water bottle against the ice chunk (which was above the water, out of our view).

It doesnt freeze. It is reduced to a gel, look closley as the bottle is turned towards the camera you can see the air bubbles, private engineers have been working on a gel agent that will absorb a enormous amout of moisture from the surrounding area 1 teaspoon per gallonish of water instant gel.

Its fake as Pammys tits!!! Its just a normal deep freeze vacuum storage unit which u find in any supermarket store out the back and the video has been sped up?! Think u yanky twats! Christ

If you supercool water, just slightly below freezing but in a place without vibration of any kind, it will not harden until you tap it or agitate it. Then it will crystalize very quickly.

Water's volume increases when it is being frozen. If you keep volume fixed it can not freeze at all. At this video the cap of the bottle is not seen while it is still liquid. I think he removes cap secretly after shaking. So shaking have no connection the freezing.

if you look really close its still kinda jelly its called super absorbant pollimer(i know its spelled wrong) you can get that stuff at a gag store or if you rip open a diaper

but don,t konw for sure

its a fake

it might even be sodium acetate, but not sure if it could work that fast. there is stuff used in "hand warmers, once triggered but a "snap" or ajitation it changes state fomr liquid to solid releasing energy, bottle loks slightly head damaged anyway but its obvoiusly not "ice"

guess non of you ever heard of freez frame. Press pause on ur recorder, do what u gotta do, unpause. so uh yeh, it was water. he paused. froze the shit, then played it again

its called termic shock!, when water changes its temperature drastically from a lower to a higher one it freezes

http://www.metacafe.com/watch/201748/whats_inside/

its not ice its some kind of gel DUMMYS!!

no comment

that is hella fake if that was real they will post it all over the news

i had this when i was younger and played tricks on my friends... its a powder that when put into a liquid it turns into a gel not ice. you can find it in a gag store or a "magic"shop.

When the water turns into ice there is a slight flicker.
It's hard to see because they've done it pretty well, but I've done alot of these tricks, it's just abit of camera trick with a dash of computer magic. (check out team extream on my space.

i think the question relied on this dude's surrounding temperature, he did say it was below -17°C

cool

i left a case of bottle water in my garage, i went to grab one and it soon froze instantly, i tried to repaet the process with no luck, but thats definitly possible, douch bags

Kinda looked alot like a gel to me... I believe the person who said its Sodium Polyacrylate...
Look closely at the contents of the bottle after the "freeze"...

Hi pll!
It happened 2 me 2 when I was taking a bottle of water out of the freezer and shaked it and it became solid ice.... If think it's a question of temperature....

Greetings from a beautifull Switzerland

they jus switch the bottles-it was a camera trick

leave the water in the frezzer for about an hour or two just cold enough to freeze then pull it out and shake it up and watch! me and my wife discovered it by accident one night

evrybody can do this with water. i did it too many times.
how to do it?
put a water somewhere in cold place, where is temperature 0 degrees of Celsius. you must handle with this water VERY CAREFULLY, then slowly, realy slowly put it somewhere in frost. VERY CAREFULLY!!!!!!!!!
then after couple of hours, took this bottle - you can see, that wather didnt freeze. and then shake with bottle and water will change into ice in few seconds...
one very important condition - the water must be DISTILLED!!!!!!!!

Buy a bottle of water, open it, squeeze out the excess air, reclose it, place it back in the freezer for a bit, when the water is right at freezing temp, open the bottle and you'll see the water crystalize from top down.
I think it has to do with pressure lowering the freezing point or something like that. Can't remember

that is sciense

I've actually done this a billion of times without chemicals. I don't know exactly the temperature but I sometimes leave water bottles in my workplace's fridge and the next morning it still looks like water but, if I take it out and hold it in my hand it'll freeze up.

real, did it for a demonstration in chemistry class.

Ill make it quick theres an element called nitrogen it freezes anything fast.

If you keep water still enough whill you cool it down it is possible for it remain a liquid under its freezing point then when you shake it it turns into ice, it happens to rain drops on car wind screens and stagnent ponds, I don't know if this would work on a bottle of water, its just a thought.

It's a powder you can buy from any magic store made of really concentrated gelatin. Look on any magic site and you will find it or something similar.
Silly People

WHERE DO PEOPLE GET THESE IDEAS

And, if it really was water freezing in that bottle, why didn't they use
a thermometer attached to the bottle, so they could prove it...?!
I've seen the same thing done on Discovery channel - using a powder
to turn liquid into gel.

Ok. This is the deal. What was in bottle before was a solution. And the two substances (or more) that go into a solution have something called a reaction rate. (the rate at which the two products form a new substance) Obviously, we did not have H2O. Maybe water was in it... anywho. You can speed up the rate of a reaction when you agitate the solution (aka shake the bottle), causing an almost instant reaction in this situation. (the few seconds in the video) This reaction would have happened naturally with the two substances together, but shaking it (increasing the collisions of the atoms) made it react quicker. Hope this helped.

it looks like a gel after it coagulates(sp?). look at the sides of the bottle. water would condense into itself, not stick to the sides.

This is a great aplication of balistics gel powder(or so i belive) The water is in no way frozen, just in a gel form

hey dfs you know nothing ab. "supercooled liquids" :P
it can't be as you said, water cooled to ab. -10, because it would freez when the bottle is touched :P, super cooled liquids ( f.e. -10 c) are very sensitive; use google to find out what is (and what is not ;) ) a supercooled liquid

I have no idea what it is, I just think it's funny that you guys get so butthurt by each other. your comments to each other are far more entertaining than this video will ever be.

The water is not frozen, its a powder you add to water to make it into a gel instantly. Nothing special

Yea it's true!!!!

real dorks that spend their lives working on crap like this WILL come up with it someday

No, this is acrylamide dissolved in water. They have added a compund called TEMED and also Ammonium persulfate. The liquid forms a gel when mixed properly. It is used in scientific labs to separate proteins in a process called SDS-PAGE (Sodium Dodecyl[lauryl] Sulfate PolyAcrylamide Gel Electrophoresis.

supersaturation takes a long time to do. you can do it with sugar. the main thing is that you have to wait for the water to completly cool down. so this movie is definatly NOT supersaturation

Called supersaturation, the water is heated and it is forced to have whatever substance in it within the water, whenever it touches a part of that same substance, it will become the substance you first inserted, 9th grade physics

It's just fake snow, you add a bit of this fine white crystal powder to water, shake or stir it for a couple of seconds and it turns into a sort of gel which sticks to containers and looks like ice, stir it a bit more and it turns white and goes just like snow.

You can get it on ebay, and I'm sure in plenty of party, prank stores etc.

its a magic trick you can buy you dumbasses... lol
ahahah my mom tried to fool me with this one before she showed the orphans in russia on her missionary trips. i dont know what the stuff is but its a powder substance that you pour into the water and shake it and it becomes a gel.. haha i cant believe some of you people actually thought the water actually FROZE in an instant hahaha retards and it doesnt even have to be preformed with cold water

or, even lower tech, if water's pessurised, ie in a bottle that hasn't been opened, it freezes at a much higher temperature. you chill the bottle to zero, it's liquid, open it and it freezes. makes a lovely slushpuppie with Lilt.

i put posiden nitrate i somebodies bottle and he died i am still 26

If you have found yourself back to this page, reading and admiring your own scientific explaination, do yourself a big favor, ask someone whos opinion you trust (mom doesnt count) to read it and tell you if your are a dorknerd. If they say your are, you must punch yourself in the groin. repeat as necessary, then find yourself a picture of a vagina to study up on.

Ma uncle traveled once to Austria, and there, if ya throw wata to da floor in da street, it frozes before it touch da ground. Mothefockas, stop wit' all dat science, very low temperature and point

I've actually done this with gatoraid. My brother told me he left a gatoraid bottle in the freezer for a few hours. When he took it out and shook it a little it just turned solid instantly. I tried it myself. My timing must not have been the same because when I shook mine it did turn from liquid to almost solid, but still a little bit slushy. I don't know what causes it but it must be to the point where it's about to go solid but if you shake it just befor then.... it might happen.

I have done this EXACT same thing myself.

Left a bottle of water in my car overnight. Came out in the moring (around -10F), got in the car, started her up, looked the bottle of water and picked it up. I was like WTF, it's WAY below freezeing, this shouldn't still be liquid. I shook it to make sure I wasn't seeing anything and it really was liquid....and in like 2 seconds it turned to ice. FREAKED me out. Then I went home, did some research and learned about super cooling water.

Look kids, this is the COOL part of science, right up there with burning magnisium, and blowing up hydrogen balloons. (god that's a bad pun)

Has no one here heard of supersaturation? You put seed crystals into a substance and heat it up. Then you cool it down and add more than it should and voila it instantly freezes. Chem I at high school teaches you that

is a dumfuck retard "i still dont know if this is fake or not" drrrrrr.. why so many people were filtered?were they saying DUMBASS NIGGER WITH A BANANA UP HIS ASS GETTING TEABAGGED BY MICHEAL JACKSON IN NEVERLAND? i like to say nigger no offense to the african american society but i know id prolly get shot if i yelled that outside sooo go fuck urselves

well all for all u geeky dicks i think its plain bullshit and it just simply is all on camera meaning animations are possible so science comes in wen wwe find out the truth WOT NERDY FUCKS!

theres a pwder that freezes water...this is a spoof

THIS CLIP GENERATED 210 COMMENTS !! and counting....... .... .... now that is crazy !

it IS super cold water. have you ever put a bottle of water in the freezer, to get it cold, then forget about it, to take it out later, its totally liquid. so you open it, its still liquid, then just as you try to drink it, or after one sip, it freezed from the top down and inside out.

this happened to me countless times while deployed to Iraq. try it. freeze several bottles of botled water (dont refill a bottle, buy the good stuff) freeze it. then open it. some may freeze anyway, some will remain a liquid.

now, the bottle was already opened, and half empty. it might have been the same as i described above, then again, it might be the powder. but trust me on this, what i described above DOES happen. and it looks almost EXACTLY like his did.

what happened to my comment??

I use this trick in parties. All you need is water, ice and lotsa salt! First put ice water and shitlotsa salt into a coleman. Then just add beer bottles in stir it for 15 min and take out a beer bottle and hammer the bottom of the bottle onto a hard surface,,,,,,and viola.....u have ice beer.
10 to 15 min of stir= 50% ice
30 min or more of stir= 100%ice

If it doesn't work....Put more salt.

the water has a gas dissolved in it, you can supercool the liquid with a solvent, in this case, dissolved gas, in it. when the top was removed, the gas came out of solution and left he water to freeze. kinda cool, put a calistoga water in the freezer for the right amount of time and it does it...

to all arguers below:

it might be gel it might be ice we'll never know, but both are possible

bye bye

if you cool the water slowly without shaking it, to about
minus 10 degres celsius (14 Farenheit) the water will not freeze, than when you shake it, it will freeze instantly. this is basic thermodinamics guys ;)

ITs water thats super saturated with sodium acetate, Its an endothermic reation.
