Just remember: we warned you-about both the pictures and throwing boiling water on yourself, because we live in a universe with a cruel sense of humor where extremely cold temperatures cause people to burn themselves. Beautiful video shows man create a cascade of ice by throwing hot water into the freezing cold air This is the amazing moment a man throws boiling water into the freezing cold air, which then. If you absolutely need to see things you will be unable to un-see, you can find them on Twitter with a search for “boiling water.” We could show you a bunch of gross pictures of people who burned themselves, but we took that hit for you and trust us, there are plenty of them. The hot water immediately freezes in the biting cold and condensed into a cloud before blowing away. The clip, shot in Mudanjiang City in Heilongjiang Province on December 9, shows a man taking a basin of hot water outside and throwing it into the air. Incredible videos show people braving the frigid temperatures to throw boiling water into the freezing air where it instantly turns into a cloud of flakes. When it’s done incorrectly, it results in severe burns that send people to the ER, and according to the Los Angeles Times, there are reports on Twitter of at least fifty people burning themselves while trying to play Snow Miser. A man in China showed off a unique cold weather phenomenon, by throwing hot water into the cold air, which flew away like a cloud. Despite its propensity to turn to snow, boiling water is, in fact, very hot, which apparently needs to be said. Just make sure you don’t, you know, throw the boiling water on yourself. It’s pretty amazing, and it sounds like a really fun science experiment. Helpful Hints: Make sure to throw the water at an angle to save face.
#THROWING HOT WATER INTO COLD AIR VIDEO SERIES#
(Source: Viva Frei/YouTube) After a series of mesmerising photos and videos of freezing bubbles went viral online, the latest scientific experiment to take the Internet by storm is the Mpemba Effect, which is basically just throwing hot water into the air amid freezing temperature and watch those droplets. Bring the mug outside into cold winter air and throw the water upwards. See what happens when people throw boiling, hot water into the freezing, cold air For more videos: Subscribe to our YouTube channel. This video will make you fall in love with scientific experiments all over again. Our #polarvortex photos are updated with this amazing shot, throwing boiling water in Chicago: /pAkP2Kr7dH Boiling water Steps: Fill a mug with boiling water. Here’s another shot from just a few days ago of the trick working correctly: Here’s an old weather channel video about how the process works: John Law posted this impressive video from Antarctica showing how quickly boiling water can freeze when its thrown into very cold air. Yes, as temperatures dropped way below zero in large parts of the US and Canada this week, a lot of people tried a neat little science experiment where throwing boiling water into super cold air freezes it instantly.
#THROWING HOT WATER INTO COLD AIR VIDEO SKIN#
It might look cool to throw it into the air and watch it freeze, but no matter how close our temperatures get to Mars, boiling water on your skin still just burns you. A speck of dust, or a flake of frost from the screw-cap falling into the bottle are enough to get the freezing going, and the crystals will build on each other and spread through the water in the bottle.Guys, we know it’s been suuuuper cold and all, but there are less painful and, frankly, more effective ways to warm yourself up than throwing boiling water on yourself. This experiment was conducted with an outside temperature of -8 degrees and a dew point of -19 degrees. We say this supercooled state is 'metastable.' The water will stay liquid until something comes along to nucleate crystal growth. It’s simple, all you need is boiling water and a frigid air mass in place.

"In the absence of impurities in the water and imperfections in the bottle, the water can get 'stuck' in its liquid state as it cools off, even below its freezing point. The process of starting off a crystal is called 'nucleation.' boilingboiling pointcoldevaporationexperimentsfreezing pointphysicsrussiascienceSiberiasnowsteam. It doesn't take much to start the crystallization process going - a little piece of dust or other impurity in the water, or even a scratch on the bottle are sometimes all it takes to get ice crystals growing.

Ice crystals form more easily when they grow on existing ice crystals - the water molecules like to pack themselves in place on a crystal that's already gotten started. "Water normally freezes when it is cooled below 0 degrees Celsius, forming ice crystals. Ice-pectacular Amazing moment hot water immediately FREEZES after being thrown out into the air on a -44C day.
