I am so grateful for any support you choose to give, financial or emotional! 🙏 With very pure water you can actually cool it below it's freezing point before smacking it to turn it into ice right before your eyes. The trick is to cool the bottle overnight and be very gentle when removing from the freezer.

[@zhanchi90]

This has nothing to do with Fiji water being "pure", works with tap water as well.

[@nikhillrao3799]

Supercooling water is easier if it's free of impurities. Tap water may not work everywhere

[@diacoal2433]

It depends. Where I live, tap water is so full of minerals that supercooling a bottle of it would be very difficult. However, some places have quite pure tap water, which means that this trick isn't too difficult to reproduce.

Can do this with almost any drink, I accidentally left a bottle of cola in the freezer and it made instant slushi when I opened the cap.
Far too many self proclaimed PhD's in here so here's a little excerpt from an actual scientist (not me).😊
"It isn't the pressure drop directly, because you can give an upper-bound estimate to how much cooling the pressure drop directly does based on the observation that the pressure is not more than a few atmospheres. That means that space the gas in the bottle gets multiplied by a factor of, say 10 (that's too big), and (kT times) the entropy gain per atom is
kTΔS=kTlog(10)
and kT is 1/30 eV, so you get at best 1/10 eV per gas atom. The density of gas on top is 1/300 the density of water, and the maximum total cooling from expanding that gas is negligible per atom of liquid. There is no significant cooling and heating in compressing a liquid, since essentially no work is done in the process, so the pressure drop does nothing to the liquid.
But the pressure drop makes the soda supersaturated with respect to its dissolved CO2, and this CO2 is outgassing from a liquid state to a gas state, and this is a huge gain in entropy. By outgassing the dissolved CO2 into bubbles, each CO2 atom gets a 300-fold increase of available volume to roam, and this can cool the liquid by
kTlog(300)≈14eV
So you get .25eV per released CO2 molecule, which is comperable to the binding energy of a water molecule. So each outgassed CO2 freezes order 1 H2O, and this freezes a network of filaments of water around the outgassed bubbles, making a slush."

[@paull2937]

Suggestion: If your winters get below freezing, do it outside, and stay outside when turning it into instant ice. That way the water bottle won’t turn foggy and you can see it freeze much better. If not, keep it in the freezer when you shake it (however this might also get in the way of seeing it).

[@jimtheudb]

It is, ice needs an impurity in the water to start forming the ice. Banging the bottle causes bubbles that act as that impurity. Yes other drinks will work if they are clean enough.
Also, its the same with bubbles in fizzy drinks, a completely clean glass won't allow bubbles to form, it needs an impurity for the bubbles to form on. If it bubbles, the glass isn't clean but you can't get a glass clean enough for it to not form bubbles.

Its the pressure waves from the smacking. Normaly water needs a particle to start freezing on. But if you have clear water without bubbles and such, it does'nt freeze. Smacking creates a denser wavefront to freeze on. You can see it in the video as it freezes from the cap down.

Well it's not just Fiji water. It's most water. Ice forms when H2O molecules slow down enough where they can't maintain their own fluidity and become crystalline. So if water is completely still in a freezer and there's no movement to align those crystals then most of the time water will stay a liquid. When you disrupt the liquid it allows those crystals to form and align. Particulates in the water contribute to that and give a point that the ice crystals can align on and bind to, so it does influence it slightly, but it has more to do with crystal production than I specific purity or type of water

It’s not just Fiji water. It depends on how long you freeze them. There’s a certain time that it has to be in the freezer. It’s called “super cooling” when you take it out BEFORE it freezes. I watch your videos and know you do a lot video watching to learn something and I see it didn’t happen this time. There’s a lot of CZcams videos that explains how to do it and the science behind them. 👍🏼

[@dcharliefox]

You can do it with any water. It's called super freezing and how it works is suggested that the water even though it's at the correct temperature to freeze it doesn't have any starting point to freeze at

[@dshe8637]

Yes, it IS so cool!

[@J.C...]

Supercooling. And it has to be extremely still. You can use water, soda, all, sorts of stuff. The bottle needs to be smooth and there needs to be no vibrations, like in a deep freeze.

Btw I live in Fiji and here Fiji water is the only pure water. The tap water here feels worse than tap water from India and sometimes the water is literally mixed with soil while coming out of the tap. I know that it might be a Broken pipe but the muddy water comes almost once every month or even every three weeks.

This is possible with all water. It's not about overnight or whatever. It's about getting it to basically precisely 32°F

[@jeffslagle5357]

Wrong. You actually need to supercool the water, and get it *below* 32. Right at 32° it's just barely at the phase change threshold and this won't happen.

“Instant” ice with hours of preparation

[@thexgamer_6785]

Its because water cant crystalize into ice without an impurity to crystalize off of. With super pure water you can achieve this. Its cooler when you pour it into a cup because once it starts turning to ice it will start turning to ice as the pouring water hits more ice. You essentialy pour liquid ice

[@amadorelizondo3848]

Doesnt have to be fiji any water bottle will work. Just open the bottle close it again,then sqeeze the bottle while opening the cap just enough to let some air out and close the cap, the vacume that creates in the bottle stops it from freezing due to the pressure raising the freezing point. Place in freezer for enough time to freeze a bottle, but there is no time limit I once forgot one for a few weeks and It still worked. Then just open the cap normalizing the pressure, close the cap and give it a little tap and instant ice no fuss no muss works every time and no having to time anything or be extra careful not bump anything

[@kelvin6756]

While the whole freezing process overall releases energy, the onset of freezing absorbs energy. Simply shaking the bottle gives the much needed energy to kickstart the ice nucleation process. Ice nucleation occurs much more easily in “dirty” water than in pure water.

[@crimson_ic3174]

Doesn't have to be Fiji, literally can do it with any liquid. I used to do it with Popsicles all the time. They just have to be freezed for a specific time, long enough to be cold but not long enough to freeze

You can do this with almost any bottled water or liquid in general it’s a point where the molecules are going super slow but actually not initiated the freezing yet because drinks start to freeze at any in fraction in the water so yes it’s probably easier to do with Fiji water but you can do it on any water bottles as well very awesome trick and nice video

This has nothing to do with Fiji water. Seems like an advertisement, don’t forget, your breaking the law bye not revealing your sponsorship with them. All drinks do this, has nothing to do with purity, or anything of the sort, your bringing the drink to the point right at freezing, then causing a state of change by smacking the bottle. Literally can be done with any drink….

[@nani0001]

To be fair if he was advertising he would show Fiji with it’s label. Mike Boyd is, no offence, pretty gullible sometimes so he probably just believed only Fiji could do it and never tested it with other drinks.

[@zacrintoul]

All drinks?...
No not all drinks.
Any purified water though, as long as your freezer isn't so cold that it freezes regardless.
And by purified water, a good bet would be distilled or deionized

Happens with beer in the middle of a cold Montana winter too! Just from leaving it outside for to long and you open it. The drop in pressure from opening it drops the temp causing it to slush. Boyle's law!

How do you prevent it from turning to solid ice when freezing it overnight? Im so confused or…. Im dumb lol

[@nandita_p]

@@aleyagold I only put it in the freezer for a few hours. Putting it overnight will definitely freeze it. Maybe it's because my freezer works on full and is basically my mini Antarctica. But a trick is that if you lift a bottle of warm water and a bottle of this type of water, this bottle will be heavier because it is very close to becoming ice and shaking the bottle basically disrupts the "environment" of the water, freezing
