Winter Science Fun

1) bring pot of water up to a rolling boil
2) go outside and toss water out of pot and into air
3) observe the boiling water freeze solid as soon as it leaves the pot and well before it hits the ground

I think it's more fun to watch the ice sublimate off the windshield, but that's just me.

Interesting fact Iodine always sublimates and never exists as a liquid.

You're doing it wrong; it's boiling water on a cold windshield that does it.

 

[Juruense]

Uh no... I just did it 20 minutes ago...

 

[s_x_i]

I wanna see...

 

[GreenSnake]

I'll take a vid lol. i have to find some lights though hold on


... that didn't really work. it stopped boiling by the time i got outside. do over

 

[svt_fan1129]

^ i dunno about you but it worked fine for me. by the time i got the pot outside it was still boiling. When the water was airborne, it was partially solid.

 

[chrisheltra]

This sound dangerous if it was cold enough here Id try it!

 

[GreenSnake]

It stops boiling right when I get to the door. I give up.

 

[svt_fan1129]

lmao this is funny, i can picture all you guys standing infront of the stove waiting for the water to boil then carrying out the pot outside and throwing the water in the air. I can just imagine what your gf's are thinking. " what the hell are you doing ?! " hahaha...
