The clear ice myth

Clear ice video: • Making a block of perf...
A while ago I made some perfectly clear ice using a cooler, and I thought it was pretty cool. There were a lot of comments though, that said I could have saved a lot of time and effort, by just boiling the water, so I've decided to test that out.

I think the boiling fallacy is based on an already misconstrued truth: that boiled (and then cooled-- which no one ever remembers) water freezes faster. ironically, water freezing faster will almost always result in less clear ice.

[@CRneu]

it's cuz you need less thermal contraction.

[@deployed246]

It's amazing that you don't even need to be a scientist to get to this conclusion or at least understand it, all you need is to have bird baths in your garden and live somewhere that is warmish during the day, but below freezing over night. That filthy, unfiltered, non-boiled water turns into pretty clear ice. Obviously not as clear as actual filtered water, but clearer than all of the tests in this video.

[@OrdinaryEXP]

@@deployed246 People living in tropical region: ಠ_ಠ

[@XMysticHerox]

No I am fairly sure it's based on boiled water being thrown on the ground in cold weather actually producing very clear ice. How clear it is is of course mostly down to how fast it freezes and the manner in which it does. The more time you give it the more cracks you get. The problem with icecubes is that they tend to freeze outside in so you get a lot of cracks inside. If you throw boiled water on the ground at very low temps it actually does produce rather clear ice. But the trapped gasses are actually a much smaller factor compared to cracking from the ice expanding and contracting as it freezes.

[@alfredoprime5495]

The fallacy is in that while boiling water does degas it, it almost immediately starts to absorb air as soon as it stops boiling. The act of pouring it into the mold only served to mix in more air into it.

[@Gunstar1986]

Not sure why you had to smash it at the end. You had 4 cubes of perfectly good frozen boiled water, just put them back in the freezer and if you ever wanted to make some soup or something just take them out let them thaw and already have some on demand boiling water. Pretty good life hack if I do say so myself. Cheers.

The most important factor in clear ice is how slow it freezes. This is what the insulated cooler does but you could also get a freezer that's set to 30°F and allow it to freeze for a long time.

[@SeraphsWitness]

The most important factor isn't overall speed, but directionality. When you insulate one side, it causes the freezing to occur in a linear rather than radial fashion.

[@nmcgunagle]

No, directional cooling is only half of it. Using a tall vessel like an insulated coffee cup is best. So you have room for impurities to sink and clear ice to rise. Then hack off the cloudy bit.

I still love the phrase “boiling water will remove the air from it.” That’s just not how that works. Not only that the moment you pour it into something you’ll trap air anyway.

[@douira]

there is dissolved gas in tap water and boiling it will remove that. It doesn't seem to make a difference to the ice quality though as we can see in the video.

[@VoIcanoman]

Boiling water does remove most of its dissolved gases. I worked in a lab that required me to use chemicals that easily oxidize (into unwanted ionic species), and so whenever I had to create a solution of these chemicals, I would have to make deoxygenated deionized (DDI) water. Basically, it's just regular deionized water that has been boiled, and which has had nitrogen gas bubbled through it for about 30 minutes as it cooled. The boiling removes most of the oxygen, and the nitrogen flushes the rest out. It lasts for only a few hours in a sealed bottle though, so it must be made fresh the day you need it.

[@LegosR4Adlts]

I never knew that thank you two for this trivia which I will use to torture my friends when I’m bored.

[@CRneu]

it's because folks dont understand why the ice isn't transparent. It's the speed you freeze it at that's the main contributor to it's clarity. When ice freezes the dissolved gasses do play a minor role, but it's the speed at which it freezes which leads to the ice contracting and cracking. It isn't the dissolved gasses that're cracking the ice, it's the thermal contraction.

[@AB-80X]

@@CRneu Not quite. Water goes though a process where it contacts, but that stops around +4*C. Between +4*C and 0*C it expands to what it is at room temperature more or less, and then after it starts to freeze, it expands by approx. 8.75%. But yes, it is the water shifting around and expanding that leads to the cracks. Freezing it slowly is part of the equation, but so is the direction of where it freezes from.

That myth of boiling water first has been around forever. You need to freeze ice directionay so it has room to expand and freeze as naturally as possible, which makes the ice the clearest when frozen. You also don't want to use distilled water because then you get a firework pattern, still cool but not ideal if you don't want any bubbles.

I put some water in my vacuum chamber in an attempt to draw out dissolved gases, but the ice was still cloudy after freezing.

[@AvalonAnthros]

That's because it's directional based! The ice freezes from all sides and meets at the middle in a normal icecube mold, resulting in the crystals kinda cramming together, or at least that's as far as I know how it works. But, freezing it in a way that only allows it to freeze up and down, i.e. in an insulated cooler where it can only freeze from the top down, results in all the crystals going the same way and not smashing into each other and making it cloudy. But correct me if I'm wrong on the sciences there, I'm eager to learn! But I will say though: it is indeed very direction based, and once you've got a cooler, not too difficult to master.

[@MelodicTurtleMetal]

You need to agitate the water while it freezes, anything that vibrates it while it slowly freezes will result in a clear ice formation. Can't let it get too cold in small areas

[@CRneu]

@@MelodicTurtleMetal it's more about how fast you freeze it. when you agitate water you disturb crystal formation which leads to a "tighter" structure but it also takes longer to freeze. Agitation works but it's the speed you freeze it at that is the crucial factor.

im aware of the agitation method, which is often used to make sculpting ice. i guess the idea is to keep it from freezing asymmetrically. keep the water in motion to keep the variation in temperatures as small as possible. right up until the water gets to the freezing point. ive seen both vibrating the trays and using circulation pumps. though i can not attest to the efficacy of those methods.

[@SeraphsWitness]

Asymmetrical freezing is actually what you want though. So the gas doesn't get trapped in the center, but is forced out the bottom. That's what insulation does. The agitators work by shaking the bubbles loose as soon as they form so they're not trapped in the ice.

Boiled water doesn’t do anything. It’s directional cooling that makes ice freeze. Directional freezing makes all the ice freeze evenly, unlike the uneven freezing in a conventional food freezer. It’s like the difference between a pane of glass vs a bunch of smashed up ice stuck together. Because the ice in the freezer is made up of a bunch of different cold sources all freezing in different directions, the ice will never be clear regardless how pure the ice is. The ice cube is physically a different shape to clear ice. The best way to get clear ice in a conventional freezer is to put the water inside an insulated container like a polystyrene box. That way, it’s only freezing from above, and you get a fairly clear cube even using tap water (depending on where you live of course).

If you're interested in making clear ice, there's this pretty interesting video I saw a few years ago. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIarlHZ-l8yLldE It talks about "directional freezing" in order to eliminate the fogginess.

When you posted, I started screaming “Nile is back!!!” And I started to put on your videos in my TV and flooded my whole entire room with printed pictures of your profile pictures, and then flooded the whole entire house with the profile pictures, and then flooded my whole entire neighborhood, and then flooded my whole entire province, and then flooded Canada. After I flooded Canada, I bought a yacht covered in pictures of your profile pictures and then I arrived to Mexico and ate Mexico Taco Bell, and had Taco Irritable Bell Shart Explode Bowel Syndrome and I am now in the Mexico Hospital ꧁This is a joke | (• ◡•)|꧂

I was wondering where all these pictures came from.

Why did you wait for it to cool? you could have just immediately poured it in, prevent other gases from dissolving back into it?

[@Sky-qr1ip]

it’s a bad idea to put boiling water straight into the freezer cause of the rapid temp change
