  • So, you want to see water freeze almost immediately, well here's what you're going to need.
  • Some very pure water, Fiji water has been recommended to me by a friend, and obviously we're going to need a freezer, some way to cool it down.
  • So I'm going to put this bottle of water in the freezer in the area normally occupied by the ice cube trays, because I think that might be the coldest part of my freezer.
  • I've got two bottles, just in case one doesn't work.
  • And now we have to wait.
  • There are lots and lots of videos showing this phenomenon on YouTube, but very few that explain how it actually works, so I'd like to take a minute and do that.
  • Water is normally a liquid at room temperature because the water molecules are all flowing past each other, tumbling around each other, and that allows the substance to flow.
  • When something becomes solid, its molecules all more or less lock into place.
  • They still vibrate, but they're not rolling over each other and moving past each other so they can no longer flow, they're solid.
  • Now what we're doing here is supercooling the water, so we're taking it below its temperature, below zero degrees, where it should become ice.
  • But it's very difficult for that water to make the transition without somewhere for that ice crystal to start growing.
  • So what we need is some kind of nucleation event.
  • If the water is not pure, the impurities in the water naturally act as sites where the crystal can start forming.
  • That's why it's very important that we use very, very pure water.
  • Another way we can cause this nucleation event is to bang the water bottle.
  • Hopefully that'll cause a few water molecules to line up in the right way, and that will seed the rest of the ice crystal.
  • So let's give it a few hours, and we'll come back and try to nucleate this ice-forming event.
  • Alright, it's taken a few days and multiple attempts, but I think this could finally be it.
  • I might have finally created supercooled water.
  • So let's find out.
  • I'm going to take the water very carefully out of the freezer.
  • And now you can see clearly that the water is still liquid.
  • You can see this air bubble floating around.
  • And now I'm going to bang it on the counter, and we will see if we can get an ice crystal to form.
  • Whoa, look at that!
  • You can see that ice crystal growing right down from the top to the bottom.
  • So there you have it.
  • I was finally able to demonstrate the supercooled water phenomenon.
  • I cooled down the very pure water in my freezer for two or three hours, and then by banging the water bottle on the counter, I started the formation of an ice crystal at the top of the bottle of water,
  • Which quickly grew down to the bottom.
  • Now, performing this experiment was a lot more difficult than I anticipated.
  • I did this at least eight times with about five different bottles of water, and I only managed to catch it on tape once.
  • So it was a real challenge.
  • Things I learned were that you can't leave the water in the freezer too long, otherwise it will freeze up on its own accord.
  • And also you have to be very careful when pulling the water out of the freezer that you don't bump it, because otherwise it will start freezing right away before you have a chance to bang it on the counter.
  • So give it a try and see if you can make it work.
