Water is wierd.
 

Reading around about the various states of water, density, etc. Found
some super-cooled water yvideos that were interesting (to me). So,
32f/0c is the melting point of ice, not the freezing point of water...

Then there was that article about super-supercooled glassy water, and
it's "taffy-like" state. Water is weird stuff.

You intoxicated? I don't think I've ever seen you make such an obvious spelling mistake... my theory is further supported by the fact you're talking about how awesome water is haha.

reminds me of the flash boiling effect when you microwave boil water. Itll look like its at room temp and then when you add anything to it (i added some powdered coffee) and it will suddenly and explosively boil when as soon as somthing is added... When that happend to me, it went from a full coffee mug of water to about a half inch in the bottom... The rest shot up out of the cup a few inches and went everywhere


edit: this is what im talking about

Actually I've been looking at a few... I might try the freezing one someday. Don't need boiling hot water to blow up on me; knowing me thats exactly what would happen as well

Re: Water is wierd.
 

Speaking of water, I am understanding that redline 'water wetter' and a drop of handsoap are the exact same thing. Soap is the same principal thing...

this guy does a pretty good video of it. Cool music too...litterly. lol.

JD, it happens with everything. There are transistion states. These transistion states are what make matter really interesting.

During the transition, the matter remains at the same temperature until enough energy has been absorbed and then the matter goes on to the next state and the temperature can rise. Same goes for when matter releasses energy too.

This is also why steam is very dangerous. It takes a ton of energy to in order to transistion water in a gas. So, steam could have a little energy or a bunch if it is right before changing states. Turbines use this phenomenon very effectively, as steam can contain a ton of energy.

just distilled water supercooled.......I did that crap like 25+ years ago.

that one was pretty cool

I've done this with Gatorade, and even my Mt. Dew at times. Sometimes i forget i left them in the freezer ;)

Re: Water is wierd.
 

I do this with Dew all the time, stick it in the freezer for a few hour's, the open it and down it really fast before it freezes.

Re: Water is wierd.
 

I hate it when I put a beer in the freezer on a 100* day and just as I open it and go to take that first blissfull drink the ----------er freezes. ---- physics, messing with my beer and ---- :7

:P :P

Re: Water is wierd.
 

Imagine drinking it and having it freeze in your throat. I know it mostlikely couldn't happen with the small amount of water and the heat of your body but it'd be cool to see. 8)

i just did the flash freezeing with some beer i had and it was awsome to watch

i just put three more in, lol

im easily ammused

Re: Water is wierd.
 

i do that all the time. I put my beverage in the freezer for some time [no specific frame] and when i take it out that usually happens while I'm drinking it. it's like a slushee... I like my drinks cold

Re: Water is wierd.
 

distilled water has a higher boiling point than regular water... when you add an impurty like coffee or sugar its not distilled anymore.. so it boils fast and does that...

the closer you are to distilled waters boiling point the more violent the reaction will be
