    If anyone else is wondering about Ice I and II:
    I: Normal ice as we know it, i.e. forming around 0°C and 1 bar.
    II: Formed from further cooling down ice I at a high pressure, for example at -75°C and 300 bar
    III: As discussed here: Freezing water under high pressure. Can be further turned into either Ice I or Ice II as well.
    And then there are like 15 more ice types that form at different pressure/temperature combinations.

    That's why the term "incompressible" is a bit misleading.

Electromagnetism is a crazy strong force.

      That's a whole thing, probably longer than a minute, as different solid phases aren't concepts that just apply to water. For instance, common iron is known as alpha iron, while high-pressure iron can turn into epsilon iron, or hexaferrum. Carbon can be graphite or diamond. Oxygen has 8 different solid phases.
      The mechanisms involved in the creation of these are the exact same mechanisms that lead to the creation of ice III. The particles just pack into different arrangements because they don't have enough space to do what they'd do at the temperatures & pressures that we're used to.

    I've actually seen an example of this recently! I put a can of pepsi in the freezer just to see what would happen.
    At first it expanded and the can bulged out, and I assumed it had stopped expanding and all the liquid had frozen after a couple days. But then at some point the can burst, and sprayed liquid pepsi all over the inside of my freezer! When I looked inside, it kind of looked like it had formed horizontal stalagmites on the door of the freezer, almost as though it had frozen instantly upon touching the wall or even in mid-air, which makes sense considering it would have been below the freezing point by then, and would have gotten even colder when the can burst due to the sudden expansion of the pepsi!

    • @killerbee.13
      @killerbee.13 2 года назад +6

      Almost every material contracts as it freezes. Water happens to have a unusual (near-unique) combination of a relatively dense liquid phase (due to hydrogen bonds) and the least dense solid phase it can given its bond length (different crystal structures have different 'packing factors' and ice Ih is the least efficient of any of the common crystal structures, if I remember correctly), and even then the efficiency difference is quite small and ice only expands by like 10%. But other ice phases have other crystal structures (this is actually the primary way a crystal phase is defined), which I think all have higher packing factors than ice Ih. So, pretty much every other phase of ice is denser than regular ice, and I don't think there are any others that are less dense than liquid water. There are like 18 of them and I didn't check them all.
      There are other materials with the same crystal structure as ice Ih, but their liquid phases aren't as dense as water's so they still contract when freezing, just not by as much as some other materials.
      For some reason the actual packing factors of various crystal structures are incredibly difficult to find online, outside of the 5 most common crystal structures that metals and stuff have. I can't find ice Ih's packing factor at all and I've been looking for like 30 minutes. You'd think this would be a pretty basic thing, as it's a very simple geometry problem, but I can't even find the parameters I'd need to calculate it myself.

Ice II, he said, doesn't occur in nature except maybe at the center of the Jovan moon Ganymede; it might have enough pressure at its core to exist there. I'll glance over III and IV. When he came to VI, it came down to having a nice looking molecular structure.
    Now for III and IV: Friend brought a German nuclear physicist from Munich to the US. Hermann (whom I shared a tent in the Antarctric for 3 months) made both III and IV, and I think it was III, hard to make, which had an H-bond when when perpendicular to 2 H2O molecules which forms a hexagonal plane. This bond forces these 2 water molecules apart which collapses into a different crystal structure of Ice IV. He had this awesome model hanging in his kitchen, this in the era before cel phones had cameras. Alas, years later the model broke apart. Very sad. He didn't feel like fixing it.
    Ice 9 like in Cat's Cradle is fiction. Real Ice IX is nothing like the fiction. Can the reader distinguish fiction from reality? Both of these friends worked at Caltech. And 1st friend was briefly (for 3 years) Feynman's boss (paid for the checks).

    Keep in mind that this is under the assumption that the ice/water system is maintained at a constant temperature. There is also latent heat of fusion involved. If your container were INSULATED from any transfer of heat, then as soon as any water would freeze, it would heat up the surrounding water since crystallization is an exothermic process. That heat would transfer back into the ice, allowing it to melt again. So a thermally isolated system would undergo no phase change. Everything in this video assumed temperature constant, which would actually require you to pump heat away from the system to get it to freeze still.

    For example from about 6k bar it's melting temperature starts dramatically increasing. At almost 100k bar it is frozen and that type of ice only starts melting at about 330c. More pressure and temps keep increasing for melting point.
    Of interest if the pressure is dropped some types of ice (formed at High pressure) at 1 atm will still have an increased melting point mildly above 0c.

    Had to stop and revisit each concept many times. it is a very good project you have done here. albiet covering many dimensions of the regelation etc. based on allowed space and pressure.
    As you can tell I am neither a scientist or engineer and have no formal training in such things. even the use of the graphs you use are useful... If you have time to consider, please let me ask a question about this subject. If I compress snow or ice to well over the 500 PSI needed to melt, Is is possible to keep the melted ice/water state from refreezing with a small amount of temp above 0 degree C ? lets suppose that I have a machine such as a metal shredder machine, the kind used to shred a car into small pieces, and I put snow in the shredder and let the snow be crushed and squeezed to pressures many times over 500 times atmosphere, would it be easy to not allow the regelation process with a small amount of heat? Thank you so much if you have a moment to consider.. Max..

    Here I thought this was going to turn into a "triple point" video. Never knew about ice III. Neat.

    2:27 water is non binary? Good for them!

    Non binary water was not on my bingo list but I enjoy the idea immensely

    In the extreme, the pressure on the atomic structure, if not allowed to crystalize, will force a fracturing of normal space, into subspace, causing a rift in the space-time continuum. This can be contained using a static warp shell. It can then be successfully repaired by hitting it with a focused inverse tachyon pulse.

    We were taught something like that in physics. I know that an increase in pressure decreases the water freezing point, from zero to some negative, depending on the new pressure. There's even an equation that includes temperature, pressure and volume

    Of course water's phases aren't a binary, there's literally 3 commonly known phases???

    As a mechanic, good luck keeping it from expanding. I've seen what expanding ice can do to an engine block. More than a few otherwise good cars have died because they didn't have the proper coolant and the water froze and cracked the block or head.
