When I said that cooling the water down holds less air, what I mean is that when you freeze it it holds less air. If you don’t freeze it it can actually hold more air than hot water.
Want to try something fun with nickel steel? Heat it to right before melting point then drop it in liquid nitrogen the finished product will be hard as normal but bounce like a rubber ball.
Depending on the season and when it was was harvested, sometimes it has notes of Holy Fucking Shit This Is Cold, and if you're lucky, a hint of Frozen Eyeball Juice
I just have to say, “I love your content!” Seriously though, you are just an all around awesome dude. Who’s posting some very thought provoking content. Whether short or full vids, they all provide some really good science. Many of which are so fun to watch. Who am I kidding, I haven’t seen one of your experiments that didn’t make me laugh, smile or just overall happy with curiosity.
@Rodolpho... YUP! He's why I'm here. Retired science teacher "of the year"... never can get enuffa' this stuff! Originally became a sci teacher cuz' back in the day we got to blow stuff up - right in the classroom! Now there are laws against endangering students! I miss the "ooooh's & aaaah's". Cyanide in cherry pits though...? Now THAT'S a NEW ONE!!
@Chill pill 201 If you tell people you’re 11 on the internet, people aren’t going to take you seriously and are going to try to provoke you. This the internet; you should’ve seen this coming.
Where do you get your supplies for these experiments? I know someone who's having a kid soon and I would love to show him interesting science experiments when he's older to spark his desire to learn more.
Are the bubbles a chemical reaction if the H2O separating leaving two parts hydrogen frozen while the oxygen is released because they have a slightly different freezing/melting temperature?
"...When it cools down, it can't hold as much of that air..." Which is why Carbonated Drink 'splode (in addition to a few other physics at play) when completely frozen and also when it doesn't explode just deforms the hell outta the can.
I want to see what happens when you get one steel bowl that has been in liquid nitrogen and another steel ball that is glowing hot I want to see what happens when they connect
Oxygen and nitrogen have higher solubility in cold water, that's why bubbles form in a glass of tab water, because the water heats up to room temperature. I think that might be a flaw in your bubble explanation.
@IronPheonix67 no because it wasnt his fault..the jury was hung on whether he kept driving after the fact of his windshield being smashed or if the impact of the metal snowball made him veer of immediately
@Alex70413 condolences to that family. Sadly now in Sol Cal these broke bums are shooting metal BB pellets at car windows on the freeway and such, with a few incidents getting close to hurting young kids.
Maybe there wasn't an air gap and something else was happening here. It's possible that as the temperature of the ice shell continued to drop, it expanded and seperated itself from the ball.
For those who were expecting that beaker would freeze instantly , remember it wouldn't have happened simultaneously anyways as some partlicles are at different energy levels and still you would need latent heat of fusion to be given of which is quite a lot
@Professional Fangster whenever a material loses or gains energy, they don't act linearly all the way. Let's think of liquid water going to ice (frozen water): First the water need to lose energy and this is rather easy, as the heat sink will gladly take the kinect energy from the molecules. If there was a thermometer measuring the temperature of the water, we'd see it drop rather fast. But once it gets to around 0°C, the water has to chage from liquid to solid, which will actually release heat as they are getting to make new bonds (physical rather than chemical) and now the amount of energy needed to make this change is greater than just making the particles go slower. Also complementing on OP's post, as the heat sink (super cooled metal ball) is getting layers and layers of ice on top of it, the heat transfer is being impacted (metals transfer energy much faster than ice).

When I said that cooling the water down holds less air, what I mean is that when you freeze it it holds less air. If you don’t freeze it it can actually hold more air than hot water.
Does that means it's better to make ice with hot water so we get less air trapped inside the ice?

You should work with carsandwater, he does red hot ball videos.
Hey I never posted that last one what do we do the iPhones just post on their own or something I wasn’t even finished
OK the coldest place in the universe is the boomerang nebula other is .In the boomerang there’s like a almost like a small area
Anyone else wish regular ice cubes worked this fast?
No, it would probably kill me by freezing my throat

He changed his profile picture
Nah not really, I want to drink my cola not lick it like a popsicle.
Hi again
The kids outside: "snowball fight!"
This guy in his basement: "its on."
@Israel Country Cube prank em john
I know know everything.
@Israel Country Cube time to call the FBI
@Israel Country Cube bro nahh wtf you doin that's jus wrong
> coldest ball
Clearly he hasn’t walked into a pool slowly
Winter swimming?
Fucking hell mate.AAAAAAAAA
@ShinyBrain its the same for me
@psycho arsonist
Truthfully so.
🗿
"Damn, my ice cream melting so easily~"
*"Try this..."*
Did anyone else first thought was "grab it with no gloves"?
@Black they’re most likely not from an English speaking country.
@Sham Ram prolly rock solid too
@Niypo *no*
Its dangerous to eat liquid nitrogen or other stuff thats below 200 kelvin, and especially below 50 kelvin
Action lab: "negative 300 degrees"
me: Impossible
...farenheit
@SuperAJ *gets frozen*
@the real spider you fell for it, fool
@Try2copee nice name btw
@Emily An cross thunder attack!
@Mr. NotsoPro tbf it's useful that someone did it for the rest of us, so tje comment helped everyone else at least
You’re really pissed at that kid who threw a snowball at you aren’t you?
frostballs
Good one
“Gyro, what happened to your steel balls?”
“Nothing much, just froze them in liquid nitrogen.”
@cherrykak E
@oatmeal is a messy substance. YEAH BUT SOME OTHER PEOPLE KEEP FINDING ME EVERYWHERE
@Stephen M ok
@cherrykak WAIT WHAT WAS MY USERNAME WAS IT JOH-DAN
@oatmeal is a messy substance. WHY DOES EVERYONE KEEP FINDING ME WHAT
but it’s nice to see you here too
I’m actually kinda hungry now. That ball looks like a giant gobstopper, and I’m imagining it’s flavour being somewhere between cold and really cold.
Jotunheim flavour.
Depending on the season and when it was was harvested, sometimes it has notes of Holy Fucking Shit This Is Cold, and if you're lucky, a hint of Frozen Eyeball Juice
Super minty gobstopper
"Honey, can you get me some ice on the freezer?"
"...this?"
"No, *the round one."*
@Nina Tran (Sn) Good bye tongue, I ain't helping you
The round one?..

Dis is kool
Lick it*.
"This steel ball.." I thought it was going to be a jojo steel ball review from araki or smth..
"Damn it, Johnny have you seen my steel ball?" Johnny:
Instead of a red hot ball, it’s an ice cold ball!
@Polunuki He changed it to pineapple
Prob the same ball!
@Moshake_ imagine having an anime thumbnail
colder than ice
like when I first walk into the pool

Me, after this video: "Well, Grandpa..."
Love the videos, love the explanations, LOVE that you keep it simple, clean, and drama free!
Little Timmy: Oh look at the snowball its so round!
"Snowball flying towards him"
Little Timmy: 🏥🚑🤕
Why do I want to make a Snow Cone out of this!?
@SabercatzX yh they can make fake addresses and disguise them
Ayyee scenic fights! Can't wait for the next breakdown!
Lol
So this is why the trains are soòoo late in the winter! Damn you steel!!! 😆🤣😂
The coolest thing about this guy is that he sees science where no one else in the world does 🤓
Quick questions: Does it melt? And if it does, where do you store it to keep it cool?
He:- Its -320°
Me:- How can he even cross Absolute zer...
He:- Fahrenheit
Me:- Oh, USA I forgot
"Damn it, Johnny have you seen my steel ball?" Johnny:
I like that he’s a well rounded scientist just trying to show us cool shit for fun

guy: puts the ball into water
bacterias that got there by accident: ⛄
"This steel ball.." I thought it was going to be a jojo steel ball review from araki or smth..
"When I take it out at first, It's wet"
Based on my experience that ball must have been huge before it got that cold.
I’m disappointed the whole beaker didn’t freeze 😔
@Ceru after I said I’m immune, was there even 1 more reply?
@SoundStorm7 lmao I know but I don’t care if they do I’m immune- BAHAHHAHA

Watch what you've never seen before
Imagine how crisp that water would taste at 3 am
This guy never runs out of ideas. Amazing.
Hey Action Lab I been watching your stuff for four years now! Great content 👍.
I'm amazed by how much air/oxygen the water can hold
"Where's Johnny?"
"He's out freezing a ball with nitrogen."
@cherrykak HELLO
I didnt realize you said johnny as in a normal kid🗿
@authorization batman damn bro............ your fun at parties
I was looking in the comments for a jojo reference lol
@Салават Абашев tHaTs a jOjO reference bRo
man imagine how quick it could cool a whole pitch of something to drink on a hot summer day. That would be cool.
Man I just want to continuously freeze and break the ice off of that.
This is literally the forbidden ice cube (sphere), it could just chill your drinks in an instant lol
Wonder if this is colder than the blue balls I get from constantly being rejected. 🧐
That air gap actually surprised me a little.
The more you know.
I love watching this guy demonstrate the glitches of life.
So could you theoretically freeze sea water somehow in order to breath air escaping from it?
Gyro and Johnny would be proud
I don't know if i'm more impressed about the experiment or about how you manage to cram all that info in 37 seconds!!! O.O
Science at it's finest. Thanks you gentlemen for ruining my sleeping pattern with cool science tricks.
That's the coolest ball I've ever seen!
These shorts are so entertaining they always make my day better😀 💣
This video: “The coldest ball...”
Me who sat on the metal slide during winter:
*”Pathetic...”*
@chr0min0id 04 oh... uhh.. I hope u feel better then-
@Des Madrigal not in anyway, no.
Are you ok...
That is one of the coolest balls I have ever seen🥶
I love these videos. It's like a crash science course for ADHD people.
I could listen to this guy talk for hours. Very unique voice.
Wait so you're saying if something is really cold it will freeze water? Fascinating stuff.
great but in a scientific channel, I would appreciate hearing Celsius values, too.
Where do you get your supplies for these experiments? I know someone who's having a kid soon and I would love to show him interesting science experiments when he's older to spark his desire to learn more.
When it turns to ice it can no longer hold the air, water can actually hold more oxygen and other gasses when it's cold.
Wait, I thought temperature only goes one way. From warm to cold. Shouldn't the water loose heat instead of the ball?
Imagine this in your whiskey
@sjq Usgs Christ what is it with this sjq Usgs guy
"Whisky and orange bitters please. The rock."
Bartender: "You mean 'On the rocks?'"
"Did I fucking stutter?"
If you dropped a -300°f ball into a glass of whiskey... it would react the same way as water.
@samuel Biye imagine self advertising
Are the bubbles a chemical reaction if the H2O separating leaving two parts hydrogen frozen while the oxygen is released because they have a slightly different freezing/melting temperature?
Ah I get it, so....
cold + water = ice...well you certainly do learn something new every day
"...When it cools down, it can't hold as much of that air..."
Which is why Carbonated Drink 'splode (in addition to a few other physics at play) when completely frozen and also when it doesn't explode just deforms the hell outta the can.
Dam! I wouldn't want to freeze my ball like that, 😁 OUCH! 🤣🤣😂
“Damn it, Johnny have you seen my steel ball?”
Johnny:
i hate these comments that goes:" is that a JoJo reference!1!1" even if its so fcking obvious
Is that a JoJo's reference?
Steel Ball Run!
Lol
How is he able to grab those tongs w out it freezing his hand also? 🤔 I imagine it requires some sort of special gloves to handle
I want to see what happens when you get one steel bowl that has been in liquid nitrogen and another steel ball that is glowing hot I want to see what happens when they connect
The air bubbles are more likely just the nitrogen coating the ball "boiling" as it warms up
Oxygen and nitrogen have higher solubility in cold water, that's why bubbles form in a glass of tab water, because the water heats up to room temperature. I think that might be a flaw in your bubble explanation.
“hey Jimmy, snowball fight!”
one throw later...
“Billy, you are being sentenced to 10 years for manslaughter.”
@Alex70413 ah makes sense Ight thanks for that and have a nice day
@IronPheonix67 no because it wasnt his fault..the jury was hung on whether he kept driving after the fact of his windshield being smashed or if the impact of the metal snowball made him veer of immediately
@Alex70413 condolences to that family. Sadly now in Sol Cal these broke bums are shooting metal BB pellets at car windows on the freeway and such, with a few incidents getting close to hurting young kids.
Man I just want to continuously freeze and break the ice off of that.
yeah but how fast can it spin, i know a guy with the crazy green steel balls
Woah, that’s one cold ball!
will the air it creates help it drop faster underwater than a normal ball?
"coldest ball"
my balls after coming from Antarctica:
Imagine having snowball fights with these.
-320° f, what would that feel like on human skin I wonder?
This one was pretty damn cool 😎
This is literally the only reasonable and informative channel on Tic Tok!
Come on, you know we want to see you put this -300° Fahrenheit ball into boiling water, not regular water.
"Damn it, Johnny have you seen my steel ball?" Johnny:
YE a jojo reference
So i'm assuming holding it with your hands would cause some serious damage
We were all expecting the entire beaker to instantly freeze.
Water is much more impressive than liquid nitrogen.
If it was a later piece of metal or a smaller beaker it might have.
Not me because I’m stupid
No
Almost as cold as my feet when I can't find the long end of the blanket
Now we just need to figure out how to slow down the melting process in our drinks.
Imagine playing snowball fight with this-
Maybe there wasn't an air gap and something else was happening here. It's possible that as the temperature of the ice shell continued to drop, it expanded and seperated itself from the ball.
I want to know how far the temperature dropped after putting the super ice cube in the that water?!?
this is the coolest ball ive ever seen!
The concept of water not being able to hold oxygen was most entertaining for me
Lmao imagine if you’re having a snowball fight and someone just shows up with this
Taking blue balls to a whole new level
Imagine using a -300 degree snowball in a snowballfight.
These could be the fanciest ice cubes ever
That must be one of the balls off the brass monkey I keep hearing about.
For those who were expecting that beaker would freeze instantly , remember it wouldn't have happened simultaneously anyways as some partlicles are at different energy levels and still you would need latent heat of fusion to be given of which is quite a lot
@Bradley Warren Thank you!
Here we go I'm going to speak as simply as possible.
The ice forming on the ball acts as insulation.
@Professional Fangster whenever a material loses or gains energy, they don't act linearly all the way.
Let's think of liquid water going to ice (frozen water):
First the water need to lose energy and this is rather easy, as the heat sink will gladly take the kinect energy from the molecules. If there was a thermometer measuring the temperature of the water, we'd see it drop rather fast.

What is "latent heat of fusion"?
I wish you were my science teacher!
Combined with water of equal volume how long would the ball and water remain frozen sitting at room temperature?
Damn, that's a really cool ball
About those bubbles, I don't think they are coming from the water in such a big size. The ball was provably covered in a layer of liquid nitrogen
Me when I enter the pool for the first time since last summer:
*the coldest ball*
Yes I got the 1000th like
@Comment Bot IS THAT A DANI REFERENCE? HOLY SHUT I LOVE DANI!
Why is that so true
@Samuel Linn I am a triracial father of 9 and i will not be bothered by you
You all know that would be some cool refreshing water after that
Ultimate tool for when someone forgets to place their drink in the freezer.
Sometimes I need something that cold (but soft!) to put in my groin area since it feels like it will start a fire 🔥
Ohh so a cold steel ball actually freezes water, how interesting
The homie: aye bruh my drink is kinda warm
Me: don’t worry I got you bro
@Eyad very intelligent comment.
@Eyad agreed.
However that comment was trying to be funny and failed miserably.
@Jason Talbot Not everything have to be funny
@Jason Talbot you have like 3 friends, if not then shut it
He: When I take it out at first, it's still wet...
He: But as i hold it out a little longer...
Him: this has a air pocket so it broke easily
Me who just watched him smash it open with a hammer
