Gotta love how excited he is just looking at that one piddly cube. Then again, after living in that intense heat 24/7 without any air conditioning and refrigeration, I'd be over the moon just having one slightly chilled drink as well.
the most likely way the ice machine worked was by pulling a large vacuum and introducing water in a controlled manner.. Does anyone have other theories?
Rob M I’m thinking it was a time machine that sent a small robot to the ice age and brought the robot back with an ice cube. The robot then shot the ice cube down the shaft shortly before self destructing.
yep, steam pushed pistons to work an air pump, sucked the air out of a chamber and then mechanically introduced (that's why he was manipulating the second valve) water that would then turn into ice, the third valve allowed gravity to deliver ice into the bowl
@@mesofius yes, steam acting on a large piston could pull a small vaccuum very quickly.. And it doesnt like like there was any size constriant on the machine lol
Refrigerators and ice makers had been invented before the 1880s and essentially worked the same way they do now, just with more primitive (and usually much larger) working parts. You’d definitely have to know your stuff to do it all by yourself with 1880s parts, as Doc Brown apparently did. In any case, though, all ice makers, then as now, generally work through the same process, with equipment making up four key components: evaporator, condenser, compressor, and throttle (sometimes called a throttle valve or, with steam engines, a “regulator”). Through these mechanisms, the water evaporates into low-pressure vapor, then gets compressed into high-pressure vapor, then condensed into high-pressure liquid, and finally drained through the throttle to become low-pressure liquid, which gets conducted to the evaporator, where the necessary heat/temp exchange takes place to form the ice.
Actually, if ice comes out of it, isn't it technically a freezer and not a fridge? Refrigerators usually keep items at cool temperatures, but not below zero degrees celsius.
The Thermal radiation Ice making machine, inspired by a worldly scientist whom made ice cubes for his guest's whisky cups while they waited for his seminar in the 1600's it was an actual historical machine. Though I can not find the scientist that made it in the 1600's that the movie was inspired from. I am searching for now is the time to rebuild that concept of collecting that thermal energy thus for our purposes. I know he used a tungsten core in a lensed apparatus and it boiled water to steam to provide energy. Thermal to boilers are a known concept now days known as nuclear power plants the concept on steroids. However the Scientist for this machine took a lesser more individualized approach I would like to find him and archive his device... That or rebuild it similar but better.
A vintage glass beaker like this is also used by Hawkeye in M*A*S*H to contain his homemade gin. Does anyone know how a beaker in this special shape is called, I think maybe a technical term exists for this?

I loved this movie....however, does anyone else notice a problem with this scene? Remember when they blew the fuel injection manifold? Doc said it would take him a month to rebuild it. Marty arrived the day after Doc arrived. That means in one day, Doc was able to build this ice machine. Yet he couldn't fix the other device that was about 1/10th of the size, for a month. The manifold might have been a little more complex. But I'm sure if he could build that ice machine in a day, he could do better than a month.
Soul0Stealer That wasn’t the only problem, they also needed to find oil and convert it into the specific gasoline that the delorean was running on, which is very hard to make aswell
Christopher Lloyd confirmed this is his favorite scene in the whole trilogy cause he couldn’t get through it without laughing
Is it just me that felt that scene was kind of satisfying?
Ur fine as hell are U single
It's one of my favorite scenes, lol. A steam powered ice machine!

I love Doc Brown. He's the best scientist and friend of Marty McFly. Best character ever.

@@samherley2465 just did some reading on the early ice machines and the market that followed.. very interesting.
0:24 whole reason i come here with some tea to drink with doc 😂 ❤

Adoro toda a trilogia de Back to the Future.Valeu!
Thanks needed this
me to! greetings from Chile!
One hell of an over engineered ice machine!
Good example of steampunk
Reminds me of pictures of the first computer, it was the size of a house.
My samsung "Chef Series" fridge be like...

I think it's a conical graduated cylinder.
What could he have used as a refrigerant? Possibly bromine or ammonia?!?!?
Who else is here from the Comic Con panel
Me!
I dunno if I'd trust an ice cube that brown-ish looking lol.
Откуда эмалированный тазик в прошлом ?

Soul0Stealer No. Marty arrived the day after Doc sent the letter to him in 1955. He had been in 1885 for several months before writing the letter.
@@gcHK47 8 months.. he was already well established.
You're right
@@gcHK47 thank you , you're a hero.
