In this video:
Some listeners may recall a science class in which an excitable teacher walked to the front of the class to show off a small, cracked steel container, seemingly damaged by an incredibly powerful, but tiny force; only for said teacher to reveal that the damage had been done by nothing more than water. However, what would happen if you put the water in a container it couldn’t break out of and then froze it?

I put water in a standard "lecture bottle" carefully excluding all air (rated for 1800PSI) and put it outside when temperature was 0F or about -20C. When I opened the valve, liquid water spurted out violently, and the spray froze instantly as it was in flight! The confinement of the bottle prevented the water from freezing. The water remaining in the bottle also instantly froze.

This is not the Discovery or National Geographic channel. This is a 5m7s clip explaining ice in layman's terms. If you need more information, you are on the right website: Google.

[@Furycrab]

While you are correct, it still felt a bit underpar from other videos in the channel where the question asked was what happens if you freeze water in an unbreakable container and the answer this video provides is: it becomes ice 2. No talk about how someone would pull it off or the properties of said ice.

[@frontierasset1965]

Furycrab The video could be shortened by answering the question as my eighth grade science teacher did: the water will freeze and expand causing the container to burst or tear at it's weakest point. If there is no existing weak point, the expanding ice will make a weak point. Problem solved. And you can take care of number 2 while you wait for the water to freeze. Two problems solved.

[@martinshoosterman]

Quite a bit more difficult to make an unbreakable container than I expected. Also, I had thought that the water might stay a liquid if there was no room to freeze, nice to learn that the world doesn't always work the way I think it does.

[@akoponen]

A memorable (and unsafe) public demonstration at a university when I was a kid had a chemist fill a WW1 grenade shell with water then put it in a dish of liquefied air. Continuing his demonstration the lecture was later interrupted by the grenade shattering with metal bits bouncing off all the walls of the auditorium. Fortunately no one was injured.

You need to get some heavy water and freeze it. It's about 11% denser than water and frozen heavy water sinks. In small quantities it won't kill you (I think) and its even used as a treatment for hypertension.

[@procactus9109]

Dave Kirkeby lol nice idea but no. It will be cheaper, faster, easier to make a containment to handle pressure.

[@Jacobsaysftw]

sure its way easier, if you have a container on hand that can withstand over 40,000 psi

[@mikey3816]

freeze a nice river stone works great

[@davefoc]

The river stone idea solves the sinking problem for sure, but the ice has a big advantage in terms of cooling capacity per ml because it undergoes a phase change in the relevant region and there is a lot of energy per gram associated with the transition of ice to water. I compared water, granite and gold for their cooling capacity. I assumed a temperature change of 5 degrees C for each of the materials. water = 354 J/ml, granite= 10.7 J/ml, gold = 12.4 J/ml. So to get the same cooling you need a much larger volume of rock or gold. You could try cooling the materials to a lower temperature but the water still wins because it has a higher specific heat per volume than either gold or granite. But of course the ice has the horrible floating problem.

[@PaulMurrayCanberra]

"it would just turn into a slightly different kind of ice" There's minerals that differ by their crystal structure alone - graphite/diamond being the obvious. So Ice II is not "Ice" - it's a different mineral with different properties. Which is awesome.

[@Xenro66]

That's insane... I like how there's such a TINY margin for ice 3 to form. I wonder what these difference ice types would taste like in a nice beverage haha.

[@TheRealPentigan]

Well given it's still made of the same molecules, probably exactly the same. Also would depend on whether higher numbered ice "relaxes" into smaller numbered ice when the pressure is released.

[@Berelore]

Actually water is super shy and anxious about anyone seeing the other forms of ice. So when you lower the pressure it explodes to kill any witnesses.

This is a problem that they frequently have, and in response to other issues, they usually cite the cost of producing the video. And if you think it costs a lot now, imagine getting the rights to use accurate, but owned, photos without setting off KZbin's content "protection" system. Legally, this falls under Fair Use, as they are using all of their material for education. But Fair Use is subjective enough that they cannot detect it with their algorithms, and all it takes is some company making a claim on this video to suck all of the ad revenue out of the most profitable period of its life: when it is first released. It takes about a month to clear up a copyright claim on KZbin because they're so common and nobody at KZbin seems to actually care about the issue. During this month, the creator of the actual fair video is getting no money whatsoever from the video being watched, much of that money instead going to the claimant. It's a broken system with the attitude of "guilty until proven innocent whenever we get around to it"

[@arsukfjorden]

In my childhood i lived 3 years on a danish naval base on Greenland. As most people know Greenland is mainly ice, called "sheet ice"(as far as google translater tells me). Even without global warming parts of the sheet ice is always cracking of. That means that ice that has been under possibly kilometers of ice for thousands of years comes to the surface. We called this "black ice" as it is very transparent and looks almost black in the dark water. I am not sure what kind of ice this were, but it were incredibly hard. So hard that even the danish navy ships, which is reinforced to be able to break through thick ice, had to watch out for and avoid larger chunks of this "black ice" as it could seriously damage the ships hull even to the point of doing an "Titanic". The positive side of the black ice is that it were very popular for the military personel to collect this ice and put it into drinks as it would "fizz" a lot in carbonated drinks. I have no idea why it "fizzed", but I can tell that many drinks with fizzing black ice has been consumed over the years of that navy base(which is no longer in use).

[@dogphlap6749]

Ice-two has a density of 1.16g/cm^3, regular ice is 0.92g/cm^3 and water is 1g/cm^3. So I guess if you could find a container strong enough, filled with water with no air space and you cooled it to the point ice was formed the pressure would rise to approximately 300MPa at which point ice-two would start to form but as that takes up less space than even plain water the pressure would not rise further and an equilibrium would be reached of regular ice (ice-one) and ice-two.

[@arctic_line]

I would assume that the differences would be unnoticeable, as heavy water is just normal water, but with the hydrogen atoms having a neutron a piece.

[@TheOriginalJphyper]

All I know about heavy ice is that it sinks in normal water.

[@omermagen824]

TheOriginalJphyper It is true. Ice made of heavy water will sink in normal water. The 'Periodic Table of Videos' channel demonstrated this experiment once.

[@docbrown7916]

Looked up ice 15 on wikipedia for anyone interested. On a more practical factor, water in ice cube trays usually turns to ice in roughly 3 hrs in most freezers, if you have multiple trays stacked it can take longer but in 4 to 6 hrs it'll all be ready for your drinks and etc. Don't forget to toss some ice into your pet's bowl during summer.

[@johnwalthall4937]

When you try to contain your ice as it freezes and it goes super saiyen.

[@Skipperj]

Another trivia bit is that ice gets a boost in volume of about 10%.That's what splits the containers,or as I remember all too well,splitting of water pipes when they freeze.For you inventor guys,how about finding a way to utilize that energy of water freezing and expanding.I did a patent search when I designed on paper, a device that could create shaft horsepower with expanding ice,and found one guy from a middle eastern college, had a white paper on the subject.That was 6 or 7 years ago.

[@wasd____]

Unfortunately, it wouldn't work out to be a utilizable a net gain in most practical implementations because: 1. if you start with liquid water, it would take more energy to run a cooling system to freeze the water into ice than you get back out of the expansion of that ice. 2. if you start in a cold environment and let nature dissipate the heat for you, then you still have to heat the water somehow to get it into a liquid form so that it can expand as it freezes, which takes more energy than you get back out of the expansion of the ice. In certain very special circumstances, like a hot spring with liquid water naturally flowing out into a freezing environment, maybe it could work, but in most of those kinds of situations it'll just be far more efficient to make direct use of the hot spring to run a turbine or something.
