Super Cooling

Leave your comment Posted by Fajja

Water can be chilled to below 0 Celcius and it won’t freeze. It will only begin to freeze if the ice particles have something to attach onto to grow. This will only work if the water is clean and free from dust particles. Its quite amazing how rapily the ice forms once the chain reaction has been started.

try turning up the tempature. ( sorry about the spelling) the cooing must be slow. also, put in 5-7 bottles, and hit one every hour. hope this helps.

The water has to be purified, tap water won’t usually work.

The thing I noticed that works rather well is gatorade.

ites easy, first put it in the cooler, this cools the bottle to an average low. this way when you put it into the freezer, the water temp throughout the bottle will be very constant. And leave it in the freezer for an hour maybe more depending…and when removing it, dont agitate the water too much, when you are ready, you can give it a tap and spark the crystal alighment process.

I think you gotta leave it in the freezer (below 0 degrees, not sure if C or F), for about 3 hours.

For super cooling to work the water has to be:
-10degrees
Undisturbed for 3 hours
Be free from impurities (use-bottled water)
The bottle has to have smooth sides

the water has to be pure with no particles of any sort in it. your best bet is to buy a case of like aquafina of some purified stuff, and try freezing a bunch of them, one of them is boud to be pure. (i had two in one case)

……whaaaa? is it pausible to speek dumb?

Would someone please explain this to me?

ITS NOT SODIUM ACETATE! Its plain water. Whoever doesnt believe this, is ignorant

Burn8604 said,  

u just used sodium acetate correct?

how do u make it freeze like that?

soloxcivic said,  

your hand would be frozen if it was that cold nice trick but didnt work on me

avatar
sk8rboi5554 said,  

how long did u have to freeze that?

avatar

Man it would be so funny if you pretended you were freezing.

avatar
benderboyscott said,  

its -16c, my bet is that the reason its not frozen in the first place is because it needs a catylist so when the water touches the ice, it freezes
is that right?

This + Supersoaker = Children fleeing in horror.

It could work. Try putting a supersoaker with pure water in a fridge and carefully take it out. but it would have to be pressurized with air before supercooling, only granting you on shot. USE IT WISELY.

how long did u have it out there? or how long do i need to?

better than #1 and #2 put together – still awsome.

supercooling is like cloud formation, when it reaches the water reaches the dew point all it needs is an impurity like sticking pasta in a pot of boiling water. water molecules need something to form around. thats what my science teacher told us anyway

avatar
Akolyte01 said,  

This only works with distilled water correct?

avatar
iloveapple092 said,  

how does that work? is it really cold?

clugalugs said,
