Flash-Freezing Water Experiments

The Neat Effects of Tossing Boiling Water in Sub-Zero Weather

— January 29, 2013 — Tech
Just in case you needed to make more snow on a sub-zero day, this awesome boiling water flash-freezing experiment is making the rounds on the Internet.

The effect is actually pretty incredible. The heated water molecules will freeze over before hitting the ground in very low temperatures, as it does in the -25 C temperature in the video that was filmed in Montreal, Canada. The awesome mist that results is a mix of flash frozen water and water vapor. The water has to be boiling hot and hovering at the evaporation point when it hits the bold air to get the misty effect in the video. 

Of course, this is an experiment that is doable by anyone with a heated pot of water and a freezing climate. One has to be careful to throw away from the body in case the boiling hot water doesn’t flash freeze if the outdoor temperature isn’t cold enough to achieve the flash freeze.
Trend Themes
1. Flash-freezing Experiments - There is an opportunity for new experiments and research for scientists and students in relationship to the flash-freezing of matter.
2. Sub-zero Sports - There could be a new industry related to extreme sub-zero sports, taking advantage of this flash-freezing experiment to make snow for those daring enough to try.
3. Hyper-cold Science - This flash-freezing experiment could pave the way for advances in cryogenics, food preservation and other industries that rely on deep freezing.
Industry Implications
1. Science Education - This experiment can be a good teaching tool and a fun and interesting science experiment for students in science education.
2. Sports and Entertainment - Extreme sub-zero sports can be a whole new market and opportunity for businesses, including event organizers and winter sports equipment makers.
3. Cryogenics and Food Preservation - Companies in the fields of cryogenics and food preservation could potentially benefit from developing more efficient technology based on the findings from the flash-freezing experiment.
