I WANT ONE! GIMME GIMME GIMME GIMME!
It’s just an induction coil heating something ferrous frozen in an ice block.
SCIENCE!
Google “induction smelt” or “induction forge”
Why? You just explained it.
I think John meant for those who wanted to verify his comment or if someone wanted to see more about it.
HA HA! SCIENCE!
Interesting, a colourless ferrous solution, that would be the first time that it has ever been made.
Although it doesn’t add up in your head (ICE COLD FIRE WARM WATTAFAK?!?) it’s really prety logical. Ice has a ridiculously high specific heat (I think the english term is), meaning it takes a lot of heat to warm up. Just look at how long it takes to boil a pan of water over a blazing stove.
water can not burn -.-, and ice melts, this cube stay the same size
water can “burn”:
H2O = OH-H —>that breaks because of extreme heat (gasoline fire) into
OH(negative radical) and H(proton) and the hydrogen burns with the oxygen in the atmosphere and makes more water.
i think. the last time i took chemistry was 9 years ago.
agree thats true
maybe it’s herpes. mine burns like hell…
The last time I took chemistry washing machines had two rollers on top, and all gasoline was leaded and 50 cents a gallon.
Rollers being hair rollers on a woman?
I see what you did there. +1
holy sh*t! people that old know how to use the internetz? you deserve some kind of medal…
Some kind of metal…
\m/
Last time I took chemistry, I was high for a week !!??!!
I lol’ed
The last time I took chemistry, hydrolysis didn’t produce hyrdoxyl radicals. It does, however, produce hydoxide ions.
The hydroxide isn’t a negative radical, it’s a negatively charged ion. If you had formed a radical, you would have had a hydrogen radical as well (radicals are formed through the homolytic breaking of a bond, so the each of the two electrons go to opposite partners of the former bond).
guess I got told. Told you it’s been a long time
thanks for clearing the radicals vs ions thingy.
You correct… But it’s they hydrogen that’s burning. Not the ice. Kind of like when “brick” buildings burn down. The brinks aren’t burning, but the wood and everything else holding them up does.
Specific heat or sensible heat(HVAC term)
If you mean what I think you mean, you’re slightly off with the “ice has a ridiculously high specidic heat”. Ice indeed has a higher specific heat capacity than many metals, yes, as it’s roughly 2.1 kJ/kgK , meaning it takes 2.1 kilojoules of energy to heat a kilogram of water up by a single Kelvin. Water, however, has a lot higher one, which is roughly 4.19 kJ/kgK, and water does indeed have a remarkably high specific heat capasity, though as ice and water have different specific heat capacities, being a pedantic your statement is slightly off.
Pedantic is an adjective, therefore, you cannot be “a pedantic”. You can, however, refer to yourself as a pedant, but you would probably know that if you really were one.
You are a douchebaggic
win.
Not actually a real word. I would have accepted being called a douche-bag, but making up your own insults should be left to people who are actually capable of doing so without sounding uneducated. Feel free to try again, though.
I was coining a word humorously. But, seriously, thank you for proving your douchebagosity to everyone. Suck a bag of d!cks.
Um, no. You come off as a douchebag, aurelaino was just a pedant.
Actually – you are the biggest douche here!
hey lets all be nice here, plz, thx!!!
shut up, stupid Flanders.
LOL, comment win xD but srsly…
aurelaino, is your real name lana (spelt backwards is????)
Louis CK FTW.
Hahahahahaha aurelaino, you so just got told, so your picking on his grammar. petty…
*you’re
*yore
yer*
Yargh* (me maties)
*Petty. A lack of proper capitalization is unbecoming. And as for being “told”, please refer to my rebuttal.
just die. (you don’t deserve capitalization)
*frustrations out on me
Disregard. I had it right the first time. I suppose that is what i get for second guessing my own writing.
C-c-c-c-combo Breaker…Yeah…that should take the edge off for a while
He was correct. He said “take out your grammatical frustrations on me”. Thus, your correction just made it “take out your grammatical frustrations out on me”. That doesn’t make sense.
Aurelaino, you’re starting to look like Margaret Dumont in this discussion.
CAPITILISATION?
Anorak.
I guess that would make your name ecaftnuc
That has to do with BTU’s. also, Waters boiling point is only 100 degrees celsius.
this has over 9000 BTUs (Buttafucco Tolkien Units) per millipede
Have you ever been so mad that you set ice on fire?
Is Drew Barrymore in the room?
clearly not ice. it would have melted.
Fail. Go learn about science.
Hey jon – Fail. Go learn about science. Maybe take some of your own advice
Hey twanger – Fail. Go learn about science. Maybe take some of Jon’s advice that you later made your own.
Maybe it’s a Oxyhydrogen reaction, just like in a water-torch?
Not likely. The flames are orange, indicating carbon compounds.
True. I rest my case.
clathrates then?
notify on, ignore this.
Fake and straight.
It’s called methane hydrate. It’s methane gas trapped in ice formed at depth in the ocean.
No Its sodium acetate.
There is no fire but there is vapor. the vapor is illuminated by the induction coils and it apears to be fire.
Not fake but also not Ice. Sodium acetate or “hot Ice”
Sodium Acetate is more of a solid white color, not clear like glass or ice. I think “Science” above might be right, its a flammable gas suspended in water ice and then lit. Just about any soluble flammable gas would work.
Actually, it’s Sodium-Dispamate, which is what you get when sea-salt precipitates onto stacks of printed emails dumped into the Marianas Trench.
Nopes all. Is Kryptonite washed with bleach ( to remove the green tint).
I’m trying to ambush Superman
Signed : Lex Luthor
Hahahaha that’s the greatest thing I’ve seen in ages.
Lol’d
there is actually white/clearish kryptonite. It is actually kind of lame, it will only kill plant life, from krypton. Still pretty handy for those kryptonian weeds that keep destroying my lawn mower.
Nerd Scientist Hubby also says frozen ethanol will burn like this.
This seems like a much more plausible possibility, and far less complicated to achieve than the other suggestions.
burning ice… hmmm…
where is your god now ?
PS: …Chuck Norris could froze fire =))
Fire is not matter, it’s energy. You can’t “freeze” energy.
Oh, scrap that, I’m dumb. Fire is both energy and matter… But if whatever matter that caused the fire was frozen, there would no longer be any fire.
Looks to me like like steam reflecting the orange glow of the element. Hmmm…
Oh yeah, you can see the melt-water in the tray also.
On another note. No one needs to die from exposure anymore. Just set the ice on fire wherever you happen to be and voila, instant warmth. Problem?
huh…..ever heard of evaporation?
No. Please tell us about it.
Science not broken, Just posters understanding thereof.
Sodium acetate is a crystalline solid with a very high melting temperature.
There is no Ice and there is no fire. The excess water from the sodium acetate evaporates under the high temp generated by the induction coils. the glowing coil illuminate the water vapor and generate the appearance of fire.
Isn’t one of the advantages of using induction coils is that the coil itself does not get hot, far less glowing hot? From the examples I’ve seen on YouTube there always seems to be the material in the middle getting hot enough to glow due to the way induction works.
Scientist used Ember!
It’s super effec…… What!?!? It’s not very effective!
IT’S LUCCA AND MARLE’S ANTIPODE BOMB!
+9001 internets.
it’s just something nerds do. Not even amazing. It’s like a card trick. Who gives a sh@t?
Go back to your chav hood.
Boring. Nothing even happened in the whole video. I could have gone to my freezer if I wanted to stare at a block of ice and hear a noise for a minute.
“Boring”? Did you overlook the flames, both in the video and in the comments?
Now this I like
fake
I’d like them to try this with “Ice 9″
I agree
Why not just get mythbusters to do it then we’ll all know what it is
I WANA POKE IT!
that ice needs to the heck
THE ICE! HOW’D IT GET BURNED!!??
hahahah COOL
Bazinga!
We watched this in a Physics lecture a few weeks ago!
Metal coil surrounding acts as an inductor. As a result, the eddy current that opposes the normal current flow causing a huge amount of energy, thus causing the ice to melt.
The fire and bright light is however caused by a metal object placed underneath the ice block.
Yay, someone else sensible in the comments! Here is the video’s source with an explanation if anyone wants.
I wanted to hear the explanation, but the voice was too quiet and the background noise too loud.
anybody else hear the original star trek series phaser sound effect there?
0:20 : what? cubice is evolving!
I WANT ONE
It makes me want to see it explode into a puddle of water or something weird like that …
Sure it’s not just a block of clear glass?
you can’t explain that
as the red gang in the Doctor Who episode “The Happiness Patrol” say: Hot Ice!
Problem, science?
Of Course its Icy Hot
I saw this induction heating video before it was on the homepage.
…No, really, I did.
I just took chemistry last year and it never taught us anything about this stuff. :\ Just made us memorize the damn element table and figure out equations.
anything will burst into flame with a little lighter fluid
Lol, glass perhaps? That’s always a possibility
As for the flames, it could be coated with something. Molten glass is orange/yellow, as this video shows. Cool it a little, and it will have the same frost effect as water. Heat it fast enough, and it will not appear to crack.
I’ve been trying to figure this out, the steam being lit up seems a strong possibility to me.
It wouldn’t be ethanol because its the wrong flame colour, it also doesn’t look like Hydrogen burning because that is a more reddish colour.
Hydrogen flames are invisible, and before anyone references the Hindenburg as evidence against this, the coating on the skin generated the visible flames, the hydrogen accelerated the fire, and the deisel fuel on board kept it burning after the other fuel sources for the fire were spent.
wow… you burned ice. how did you manage that?
The laws of physics have been smashed into a billion pieces!
