A sliver of sodium in a block of ice, inductevely heated until it get hot enough to react with the surrounding water to produce a flame

A sliver of sodium in a block of ice, inductively heated until it gets hot enough to react with the surrounding water to produce a flame.

point of experiment is to attract attention and then sell induction heaters to the ppl..

so the point of this whole experment iss..

On top of what hoverfly and canuck said, the glowing you see is a light effect caused by the internal heating element, which is glowing red (and eventually white hot) Obviously the metal around the edge is not the entire heating element, or it would glow as well, which and you indeed can see water melting at the bottom.

@Hoverfly is the only one who know's what he's talking about. The rest of you are FOS. It's an induction heating demo. The metal glows red, then white hot. The icecube is resting on a stone surface. Water DOES flow off -- the bottom. When the steam burst free you hear a noise. The tiny flames are crap being burnt of the surface of the stone. The ice cube doesn't shrink because the heat is INTERNAL

People, please listen to @Hoverfly. He's the only one who know's what he's talking about. It's an induction heating demo. The small peice of metal glows red, then white hot. The icecube is resting on a stone surface. Water DOES flow off -- the bottom face. When the steam burst free you hear a hiss and see a burst of water. The ice cube doesn't shrink much externally because the heat is INTERNAL

uumm it is just not ice. When H "burns" it reacts with oxygen to form water. Not the oposite. Anyway, evaportation of water forms vaporous H2O, not H and O, it is just thermodynamics, not lord of the rings.

The flames are produced from the evaporation of the Hydrogen gasses when it is heated like that.I've seen that before..(or close to it)..with water in a sealed container that has a little hole at the top. You hold a match above it just when it reaches the boiling point and it gives off a flame.

Definately not ice. There are flames, and water (ice) does not flame up. Not one drop of water is on the bottom, and zero steam. Maybe they should research their vids before they put up an erroneous description.

Pretty hot!

It could be ice but the glowing can not be the ice, if it really is ice then there is some other light emitting object causing the glow.

Its a demonstration of induction heating. There's a small piece of metal inside the ice cube and it is heated til it glows by the inductor you see around the cube.

its the coils of the heeating element thats causing the glow

Sodium chloride?

no brainer exactly either is a light effect or definetly not ice

seems like it would be completely melted almost instantly at that temperature

no it is ice.

glass or plastic. definitely not ice

probably not ice at all

obviously its a lighting effect because as you know ice cannot glow red hot think this one is a no brainer for the no brainers lol
