This 'heat freezing water' article popped up on my radar (I just get too lazy to shut it and figure that banana man is cute) and so I read it Link post
It sounded interesting enough, and it was although I don’t know why freezing water using heat would be helpful because the techniques they described sounded more complex than just buying a giant freezer. Anyway it just annoyed me because it seemed blatantly obvious nobody had read this article, and those who had wouldn’t have liked/reblogged it because it was just a bunch of chemistry with two interesting sentences. What I’m saying is that I want that fruit person again but made of a mandarin and not a banana.
It’s interesting science, but I think you’re right, no one actually read the article. I think many people were even thinking about heat as temperatures above freezing when in fact it’s just supercooled water being heated up. The water itself still has a temperature below the freezing point. The part I actually find more interesting is how the charge effects the way the water freezes.
And I agree, we need more fruit people.
