[@ivanf4023]

I love it when science is attempted without a control. Side note: boiling concrete/cement would make the curing process less efficient (concrete curing is an exothermic reaction). So ultimately you're boiling off liquid water before it can react and make solid bonds (e.g. why it was like chalk instead of concrete). The dry ice thing sort of makes some kind of sense almost... Except that the solid CO2 is just going to leave voids inside (as you saw here). Better option... chill the water before mixing with the concrete/cement mix which is a thing that's already done by professionals. You do need a minimum temperature of about 40 degrees (gotta make sure the water doesn't crystallize before it can react because solid water won't mix nicely with concrete but cold helps the exothermic reaction complete.

[@teardowndan5364]

Yup, definitely needed a control to see if the awful results are due to the weird mixes where control greatly outperforms experiments or bad batch where the control sucks too.

[@spcpitts]

All the concrete companies around here use hot water (if requested) to make the concrete set up faster

[@kimosawe1700]

[@whiteboysixty5]

Yep, ruined the water to cement ratio and shocked it essentially. Also with the dry ice, we use that in Texas to cool it because concrete can’t be over 95 while pouring

When Hoover Dam was being built, they mixed ice with the cement to keep it cool - because when you pour huge amounts of cement - it generates a lot of heat on its own and in doing so would cure too quickly. Adding ice keeps the cement cool so it cures slowly.

[@christianmendoza8543]

When laying concrete you tap the forums before grouting and before sweeping (unless you dont like rough concrete for better traction)

[@christianmendoza8543]

Well since theres carbonation I expected it to have large depsits of air which would compromise the structural integrity but it was more distributed making it light but weaker than usual. None the less it will probably be the new spray on shoes.

Should've had one that was properly done with regular water as a control. Tip: Let concrete set while being wet, it'll be much stronger. Letting it dry out before setting properly makes it a lot weaker. Concrete should not be dry while setting. Ever seen those construction sites where they have sprinklers on top a large slab of recently poured concrete? It is to keep it wet during the whole setting period.

Grant was a amazing person I'm sure some people don't know him but the ones that do know him miss him:(

Fast setting concrete is generally weaker than regular concrete mix, but I will say that I very much enjoyed watching this video. You should try these methods again using regular concrete mix and see how much different the reactions will be.

I'm very curious as to whether liquid nitrogen would mix with the concrete/cement with it being a liquid

[@xnet1234]

Liquid nitrogen/oxygen

[@martyg6753]

It will probably boil out before combining completely.

My son did a experiment with concrete and cornstarch. You should try that.

@@liamsmith6550 I think it's because the video was private at first when they made the comment and now it was made public.
