I'll have to do an experiment at home on this. It's quite interesting...

Cool.... I don't know though....

Make sure to use pure water if you are going to do the experiment. Also, make sure the containers are identical! :P Make sure you put the in the same spot too because certain parts in the freezer are colder than others. :banana: :banana:

That would be fun. :banana: :banana:

Yep, I would most likely do it with the ice tray. Too bad I don't have a thermometre since I could measure the temps first. I'll use tap water for both times, or I might use water from the water cooler, and to have it warm I can just boil it. In case the kettle has anything that would contaminate I'll dump the cold water in it for the same ammount a time I'll boil the hot one.

I'm very precise when it comes to these things. :roflmao2:

I also want to get myself a nice powerful source of DC and seperate hydrogen and oxegen, like if I can have like 120V DC it would be awsome. Maybe I can add a diode to the wall outlet.... :o

My teacher had some sort of machine thingy for the DC.... It was big! I don't know more because I am not very smart when it comes to these things. :lol:

Yeah, we had one too, but it converted it to 3 volts, what a waste LOL. A machine that big and all you get is 3 puny volts. :roflmao2:

I once hooked up 3 9V batteries to a motor, boy was it spinning fast. Then I tried it with 120VAC, it was toast. :P
