Watch this amazing Experiment!
In contact with the air, this water looses polar hability and sticks to itself,transforming into solid water spheres.

  • Hate to burst your bubble, but..........

    1) The chemisty is off. Sodium bicarb (baking soda) plus acetic acid (viniger) does in fact make sodium acetate as the video states, but thats about the only thing accurate in this video. Adding calcium bicarbonate (which doesn't even exist in solid form) or even calcium carbonate will not form any new product as protrayed in this "chemical reaction."

    2) The products should be clear, not colored. Nothing that was reportedly added is pink or turns pick on reaction.

    3) There is no reason for the spheres to all form the same size. In addition, once one sphere in his hand interacts with another, they should both become one, just as occurs when one ball falls into the glass of liquid.

    4) The spheres are too rigid. They are acting more like marbles (which is not even possible), not spheres with liquid inside (which is somewhat more plausible).

    5) What the hell is "polar hability." I have never heard that term before. The closest I can think of is something losing it's polarity, which still doesn't make any sence in relation to this video.

    Nice try.

    good luck with this. the first step of adding baking soda and vinegar together will give you nothing but foam.

  • wait everybody

    if the water loses it's "polar hability", whatever that is, the time it makes contact with air. then why the F doesn't all the water turn to a big ball since it's constantly touching the air??? this guy is a loser

      in stead of "those are......i wrote those r...same thing if u read itt loud......the same whith the letter u....in stead of you i wrote u.....and in stead of corecting me u (you) better pay atentione to the vid's, mabe u will learn some thing.....

    • may i help..

      ayeroxor, since your typing is terrible milkypanda

      i will correct for you (y)
      "instead of "those are", I wrote "those r" - they sound the same if you were to read it out loud. this is the same with the letter 'u' - instead of "you" i wrote "u". instead of correcting me, you would be far better off paying attention to the videos (vids). maybe you will learn something.

      i hope you learned a little more about the english language here.

Did he try and sell any of you idiots something, NO, all he did was show something he thought someone might be interested in. Why don't you try and speak pr read his language and see how you far you will get. Grow up and stop criticizing people for their lack of understanding of a language.

  • Nice Try - They're Called Clear Spheres

    Nice try on this hoax but the material is a hydrogel. They start out as little spheres that absorb water. They're showing up in flower shop, but I found them online at stevespanglerscience.com under 'clear sphere'

  • common sense

    As awsome as this would be this guy is bull shitting you. there are a few simple observations i made. First where the hell does the pink tint in the water come from? Second if the water solidifies when it hits air why does it always retain the exact same shape instead of making bigger or smaller spheres and likes some one pointed out wouldn't it already cling to itself since it is already touching the air? and finally at about 2:30 you see one roll out shortly after you hear a bang makes me think its a marble or something either way its not real.

    Your spelling skill (or lack thereof) makes me want to believe either English is a second language, had a putrid education and/or you have no pride in what you put forth in your name. Your hypothesis and experiment were bogus.

      It was not a hypothesis, it was demonstration of a chemical process. English is not my first language, had a good education, obviously better than you. And this individual was simply showing people something he thought was cool. Dont like it? give it 1 star. And shut up because you made yourself look stopid. Its better to remaine quiet and look the fool, than open your mouth and remove all doubt.

  • Good lord

    There are some stupid people out there. I'm not even talking about the video, I'm talking about all of the retarded people on here who couldn't spell their way out of kindergarten. And what's with all of the sh*tty grammar? Aren't you H**os learning anything at all in school? You f*ggots are the beginning to be the breakdown of the English language, the most common codec in our means of communication. Communication is something you pus*y @$$ kids take far too much for granted these days... as you sit at home after school on the computer daddy and mommy bought for you posting your retarded comments, making arguments back and forth with no substance or research at all. Instead of wasting your time arguing your uneducated opinions on Metacafe, how about spending some time on homework?

  • wtf is that S**t so fake

    first of all you can't sodium asetate by freezing it... second of all why thoes it gets pink??... third as all are saying that the balls at contact with air they become a little solid and the so nonsense polar ability which has nothing to do with this, for the record polar ability as u say it doesn't even exist, the only common word that comes to my mind is polarity which refers to the intermolecular forces between the slightly positively-charged end of one molecule to the negative end of another or the same molecule thoes this has to do with your experiment??? no, right an that term polar ability doesn'exist!! so don't bother yourself loking at fake vids, plz investigate don't be dumb for all who think it was real, and respect him as he is (stupid) but do not abuse. hope this opened your mind THX.

    By marticus 1225099750 Reply Spam Moderate Up Moderate Down
  • WOW!

    Baking soda and White vinegar can produce a chemical product called sodium acetate. When heat right, it seconds it can turn to ice or if poured slowly will mound up into this white mount. Also it is called "hot ice" because it when it stiffens it heats up and is used in some of those pocket bagged hand warmers. So for those that say baking soda and vinegar do no thing but make foam, well don't talk till you tried it. Look up videos on making hot ice or making sodium acetate and do as it says and you'll see that what I explained is true. Now I kind of get the experiment but if sodium acetate is white how do the balls become clear and also in so round balls? Is it the salt? This is cool. Not a trick is it? Can someone who knows about the chemical process tell me how this works and also if someone has tried this experiment tell me if it really works like the video shows? Cool.

  • Little note

    The addition of Sodium bicarbonate and Acetic acid (baking soda and vinegar) will not produce Calcium acetate. Two, Calcium bicarbonate does not exist in a solid form. It is only found in solution. What may have been intended was calcium carbonate, which is simply chalk and is non-soluble in water. In the first reaction, sodium bicarbonate and aqueous acetic acid will yield the following: carbon dioxide, carbonic acid and NaCH3COO, also, water is present and produced in the course of this reaction.
