    Also have to remember that the flex tape is being weakened with each hit. There are lots of things that are strong on first impact but weaker on subsequent impacts. Car seatbelts for example are supposed to be replaced after a serious accident as the stress on the belts by that first accident can weaken the belt. That goes to show that the Flex tape performs even better than shown in the video.

      Also the table is on sand/dirt. The peak deceleration of the objects is reduced since the legs can dig into the ground, and lower acceleration = lower force. I think the outcome would have been different had the table been on solid concrete.

    I loved how Gaunson accidentally actually explained the bubbles in the ice. H2O when in liquid form holds a certain amount of air dissolved in it. Ice can also hold some dissolved air but not nearly as much as when in liquid form. So as the liquid turns to ice, some of the air is expelled and trapped. The outer sections are clear because it is the purest ice. All of the air and other impurities are pushed inwards. So the bubbles are basically not trying to escape the bar. They were kicked out.

  • @Ripen3
    @Ripen3 Год назад +408

    Water and dye have different freezing-points, water freezes first. The bucket freezes from the outside inwards, freezing the water first around the edges and then eventually the dye last, in the middle. Same goes for trapped air, the water freezes on the outside, pushing air in towards the center. What I can't explain is the "shooting air bubbles". Looks really cool anyhow!

    • @jayisbirb
      @jayisbirb Год назад +26

      the "shooting air bubbles" is caused by the mixture from the food coloring being pushed towards the center. As the outside layer freezes, it forms a shell that has a slight negative pressure (cause water expands when it freezes, meaning there's the same amount of material occupying a larger area), so as the food coloring is pushed towards the center, it creates little mini-vacuums in it's wake. Long story short, those aren't actually air bubbles, but little bubbles of "nothingness" (I use quotation marks cause I doubt it's a true vacuum and there's probably a little bit of something in there, but there's likely not much)

As danbert explained, the bubbles are air that has been forced out of the ice's crystal structure and have coalesced into bubbles.

    What we see in the ice block is actually a defense mechanism from the food coloring. Similar to porcupines, when food coloring (specifically of the red variety) feels threatened, it sends out protruding spines to ward off the danger. In this case the danger was the cold temperatures if the freezing water. Unfortunately this specimen was unable to fend off the ice, becoming entrapped and leaving us this incredible visual of the battle.

    5:20 I'll take that challenge. When liquids freeze, they form crystals and typically these are well organized. But if they freeze quickly, they don't organize as well as they could if this was done slowly (slowly reducing the temperature). I believe what's happening is that the dye isn't soluble in water at low temperatures, so the dye and the water separated (think oil and water), forming what look like bubbles. Due to the size of the sample, the inside cooled more slowly, forming a semi-regular looking structure that the dye can help us visualize.
    It could also be gas bubbles that got frozen into the ice block, as cold gases are more soluble in water than warm ones.

If you split the water into gases (as in separating the oxygen in H20) in the same chamber somehow spontaneously, you'd have hydrogen gas which is highly flammable, and oxygen gas, the other typical component necessary for an ignition. Pure hydrogen ignition just produces water as a byproduct, so you'd be back to where you started. The oxygen in the water that occasionally forms bubbles, or that fish use to breathe, is just dissolved oxygen. It's still O2, it's not chemically bound to the water.

    As ice freezes, the formation of the colored portion is dependent on two things: How fast does it freeze, and is the freezing restricted to one direction? The best way to get clear ice is to place the water in an insulated cooler and place it in a freezer to allow it to freeze slowly. This give the water time to push all impurities (shown as red in this case) to one side of the ice. Then when taken out it then shows a mostly perfectly clear block of ice.

      I agree. Water contains dissolved gasses and it is the gasses that are forming the air pockets. The water molecules in the frozen state produce an open hexagonal structure causing the expansion of the volume of water. This forces the gases in the water to form the air bubbles.

    For the bubbles. Air is naturally absorbed in water. When the temperature changes, the change in energy causes the Air to come out of the water creating air pockets as it freezes resulting in what is seen. The mixing of the coloring added more of these air gases that can come out and the color makes a nice contrast.

    Water freezes from the outside in. This forces trapped gases and solid particles toward the inside of the ice block. These concentrated impurities cause that opaque, textured area in the ice.

    Answer to the quetion:
    The answer has to do with trapped air bubbles. Liquid H2O can hold a certain amount of impurities dissolved in it. Ice can also hold some dissolved air, but in much smaller amounts. Thus upon freezing, the water has more air than the ice can hold, and the excess air is ejected out of the freezing water. In the case of ice cubes in the freezer, the freezing process starts from the OUTSIDE and works its way into the center of the ice cube. The air that is ejected from the freezing surface is then ejected into the center of the ice cube. Since it can't escape, this air eventually forms trapped air bubbles inside the ice, causing it to look cloudy. Clear ice, on the other hand, is formed by directionally solidifying the ice, that is, freezing the water from one end to the other. This allows the excess air to be pushed from one end of the ice slab to another, eventually getting released into the air as the last of the water solidifies. Since the air was not trapped in the ice, its appearance is transparent. Variations of this technique are used to produce ice sculptures, ice cubes for restaurants, and many other applications in which clear ice is needed.

    Genuinely impressed with how well the tape held up. From what I can see. a lot of it comes from the flexibility of the tape itself, meaning it can deform (bulge) a lot, absorbing the impact over that distance, meaning it doesn't experience as much force at a given time compared to e.g. bulletproof glass, and hence it doesn't break. It's kinda the same idea as using a blanket or trampoline to catch someone jumping from a height/out of a building, and also explains why the exercise ball didn't pop. Great video and great slowies on this one :)

      yes, but with the tape around the edge and under to the other side. this way it matters only elasticity, not the grip.
      because the grip does not sum, like the thickness. only the first layer will count. And that edge is quite thin. If that table had full sides, and so a full meter of grip, reckon would have stayed stuck.

    So with the ice, that's air normally in water that gets trapped when you freeze it. This is partially caused by freezing it from all sides at once. If you instead insulate the water container on all sides except the top, it will directionally freeze from the top to the bottom, and it will push out all of the air, and make a block of ice that is clear like the glass orb, and significantly stronger and denser. Also stays colder longer and doesn't break apart easily in your drink (and is nearly invisible, a cool party trick). Just need to use a cooler, or make a styrofoam box around your container.

    So what's actually happening in the iceblock is something known as the cryoconcentration effect. When an aqueous solution freezes, the liquid does not freeze uniformly. Some parts of the solution freeze first, typically the outer parts, while the liquid closer to the center freezes later. The solute, in this case the food coloring, is pushed towards the unfrozen solution by the ice front, increasing its concentration (hence cryoconcentration). This is why the outside of the ice block is clear and the inside has the food dye.

The air bubbles that were stuck in place on the sides of the container y'all put the water in were slowly guided inward. As the water froze it created pressure within the remaining water pushing on those bubbles and as the freezing process continued a trail of tinier air bubbles were left behind.
    I'm not exactly sure how the trail has a turning affect, but maybe that is just the camera.

    Freezing water is cool. Plain old tap water will have a white core when frozen. That's because there are impurities; not like BAD impurities (hopefully) but stuff like calcium, magnesium, fluoride, and other non-H2O chemicals that simply exist in normal water. Or food coloring! When those impurities get cold, they huddle together like a pack of penguins, and you see them in the center of the ice, like a white foggy cloud. The cold also squeezes out air in the water. If the water freezes slowly, the air escapes, and if you're using distilled water with no impurities and slow freezing temps, you can end up with a crystal clear ice, which is awesome. But typical freezers will freeze water FAST and lock those air bubbles in place. If there's enough water for the air bubbles to move around and try to make a prison break, they elongate as they push through the chilling water looking for a way out. That's why sometimes you get bubbles and sometimes you get runners.
