Hi Phil

[@vkvienz938]

That's a lot of damage

[@petevillegas5048]

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.

[@TylerDollarhide]

Yeah, you could tell that he wasn't completely serious when he said that it was the oxygen in the water molecules. It was meant as mostly a bit, but he wasn't far off.

[@TylerDollarhide]

Though unfortunately some people are completely serious when they make extremely loose connections like that.

[@sdgilmer]

If the water were degassed (search on "degassing water") before freezing it, it would be crystal clear, making it much more dense and much stronger (I think).

[@colinboice]

One thing you could add is that the block freezes outside in which ends up trapping air in the midsection

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.

[@nameismetatoo4591]

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.

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]

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)

[@danbert8]

[@notfirstTHERMAL]

@@jayisbirb Hmm yeah, I'm not sure about the negative pressure, if the ice is being frozen in an enclosed vessel (as it was), it's expansion would create a positive pressure - it's why cans explode if you leave them in the freezer! As danbert explained, the bubbles are air that has been forced out of the ice's crystal structure and have coalesced into bubbles.

[@liamlundergan2751]

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.

[@ijnebula4888]

But it’s definitely not because oxygen just decided to abandon its hydrogen atoms and make a run for it as it realized its relationship was pointless and it should immediately escape to go hang out with other oxygens.

[@zxXEROTSxz]

@@ijnebula4888 this would make water into gas

[@LLampJunior]

[@philipfahy9658]

@@zxXEROTSxz It would explode and actually form water again. 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.

[@SquirrelTheorist]

The challenge is ingenious! Perfect way to get more comments!! I love the response but tbh I love the double ingenuity of the HR team.

[@ethank1127]

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.

It's dissolved air. Ice freezes from the outside in, forcing the air towards the centre. The air doesn't freeze, so it's forced out of the water, leaving bubble like voids.

[@gathingstimothy]

Scott was pretty close on his answer! Liquid H2O holds more dissolved air than frozen H2O, as it freezes the excess dissolved air is ejected leaving the air spikes you see leaving from the middle of the ice-block. You guys continue to be such a pleasure to watch!

[@brisbanekilarny6212]

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.

[@alphaomega95]

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 :) P.S. Stanford - I think you look great with both short and long hair. It's always great to experiment, but in the end go with whichever makes you feel like your best you :)

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.

[@weta-linetv5354]

5:19 Welp, my best guess is since water freezes from the outter most part in. 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. I'd love to know what Dustin thinks from Smarteveryday.

[@mrpyk9938]

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.

5:20 if we're talking the bubble formation, there's two things to note: one is gases dissolve better into colder water (see oxygen and co2 content in the arctic waters) however, when the liquid turns to solid, these gases are still above their condensation point, so they don't follow but congolmerate together into little bubbles. as for the dye distribution, chances are the water formation forced the dye away from the edges, same principle. bubble shape in the ice is dependent on ions that may be lurking in the water and what temperature the water froze at.

We are back at the tower!! I love every video, but something about the tower just hits different. The tower is fun in a precise, experimental way, if that makes any sense 😅 I like the "what does X do to Y?" And the "How many of A,B,C,D, etc. can go through X?" videos the most.

[@Ehapcker3281]

The Dino looked like he slipped dramatically 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂 1:11

[@rjw9726]

Absolutely love that you guys are back at the tower, by far my favorite content

[@DIRTYHARRYBALLISTICS]

I definitely want to see a rematch with Bruce and a fresh flex tape setup.

[@MrSaturnMusic]

That's what I was thinking, I actually think the tape might've handled it if it hadn't been loosened by the other objects

[@ercwst]

Agree! Rematch!

[@sSlammeR]

You guys have been pumping out crazy entertaining content the last few months and by no means am I discrediting that, but I really do enjoy tower videos. Lol much appreciated.

[@ningen1980]

Yes. You fellas are a couple short. A couple bricks short of a full wall. But that is what makes y'all awesome! Keep it up!

[@dlcarburetor]

@12:55... grow it out bro, looking good. It's your swag sneaking out

You guys are awesome! The things you do to entertain your fans is over the top. But the most impressive thing is that you KEEP finding new and unique ways to be ridiculous! You keep your channel fresh.

The anvil hitting with a point is a great testament for the tape & that powder slowie...very sweet!

[@Funrollercoaster606]

The rainbow dust softened the fall of multiple objects

[@kpopediareaction5361]

I have a piece of advice, when you throw things from a height, the support should be fixed on a solid area such as wood or concrete so that it stops moving and the ground cushions the impact

[@-Blaxe-]

They used to, not sure why they didn't here. Maybe just didn't have a flat plate to put under

[@musashi939]

Dishonesty. The anvil would already have torn apart the flex tape. But then this way the anticipation and the video is longer and finally the 300kg thingy breaks it. That's why 🙃

[@deadpixxll]

The ground can break too

[@elenaclough3398]

Yeah

[@briannovak7651]

I’d assume they use sand to reduce the amount of bounce on misses of things like the rubber band ball stuff. It would be interesting to have them show every throw and how many misses possibly occur. I def agree that the sand does probably dissipates force tho Just a Safety move imo

[@Sir_Uncle_Ned]

Rexy got utterly pancaked and sprung right back up asking "Got any more?". What a champ! And I have to say, I am impressed how well that tape has held up. I would like to see what happens with a similar amount of Duct Tape so if you can find someone to shout you that, we can see how it goes.

[@ARUSApacecarHAMPTON]

Rexy deserves a week off with pay.

[@ilyaholt8607]

11:55 "It's not glued - it's literally stuck on" What do you think makes it stick then? Black magic?

[@BinnyBooom]

Need a part 2 of flex seal please boy’s, but this time starting with the hulk fist first to really see if it can take a hit from it please!

[@TheKing_1986]

Awesome hair Stanford! That flex tape is some pretty impressive stuff to take on Bruce and bring up a draw! Great to see you lads back at the tower, it’s like you’re officially home again, even though you’ve been home for a few months now! Looking forward to the next one!

[@butchgarner3911]

LOVE the TOWER!!! If Flex Seal uses any of this video in their TV commercials, people that don't know you will find out hat they have been missing in their life!! Great video!

[@scottcortus9590]

These videos never get old, keep coming up with new ideas of things to drop brothers! Thanks, love the channel!

[@latenightcereal2390]

Well, imma assume waters freezes from the outside in, the food coloring, and such is vaguely more dense, which takes long to freeze, so thinner, more pure water freezes around the outside. Air, obciously thinnest, is escaping to the less dense areas, and are trapped. I presume because it doesnt start to escape until the water is near frozen, or partially frozen, already. So more dense impurities in the middle because it takes longer to freeze, less dense liquid, and escaping oxygen pushed outwardly. Assumption.

[@archr117]

Hope you guys got a good deal on the sponsorship, this has me wanting to try some flextape lol.
