After our first failed ice hot tub try Anni got an idea for this video and we had to try would it go through Here is link to the hot tub video • WORLD'S FIRST ICE HOT ...
We just got home from frozen lake. We had great day with our RU-vid car at ice track. Video comes out probably on next Thursday since it's probably closer to workshop than experiment :D There is lot of great drone shots and the car was about 80% of the lap sideways :D
That sounds really nice! But this video was also really nice. Fun way to make the hole at start. It's like when they pick ice for the ice hotel they build here in Sweden (in Jukkasjärvi). I have a video from that on my channel. Boiling water is also quite fun to handle out in the cold, because of all the steam generated (or more correct, the cold is making the steam condense - wich is what we see as "white smoke"). It went thru faster than I thaught given how long time the hot tub lasted - but yeah, this water was a lot hotter. Really cool when you put down the Go Pro (the clear parts of the ice where you could really see into the ice). The shallow depth also explains why the water was brown in the hot tub video, haha (there was probably some mud and stuff stirred up from the bottom as you made the hole and pumped up the water).
Welsh has many L's, Polish has many Z's and Finnish has so many many R's :-D I think that currrrrent might even have more than barrrrrel. (OK, I admit, I'm jealous... Rolling R's is very hard for me, so I have trouble with almost any language except English!)
There has been a number of initiatives to reform English spelling to correspond better with the pronunciation, but it would also work the other way, pronouncing all letters one way.
It's hard to make English phonetic as we'd need a load of new letters/accents added to cover the range of sounds. It would also result in English and American English having even more spelling differences, not to mention the range of accents we have across the UK. A Geordie (from Newcastle) is barely comprehensible to someone down south (especially after a few beers), but we can still read and write to each other. If everything went phonetic their spelling would be different. Either that or you'd have to tell them they're speaking incorrectly and try to correct them. I'm not brave enough to tell a Geordie he's not speaking properly! lol! Yes, English pronunciation is pain for non-native speakers, but it's also not really a problem given the range of pronunciations we're used to hearing. We don't get hung up on it, and can usually understand pretty much any variation. I know it bugs some of my Polish friends (Polish is phonetic), but I tell them it really doesn't matter. English is a complete mongrel of a language with bits of Latin, French, German etc etc all mixed in and left on an island to ferment. It's a living language which happily absorbs words whenever we like the sound of them, often along with their original spelling. (I wonder if we've collected any Finnish words... Hmmm).
It's understandable to yoink words from other languages, but what's nuts is that English sometimes takes the plurals too... Phenomenon - phenomena, ovum - ova, vertex - vertices, and even octopus - octopodes, seraph - seraphim, samurai - samurai. One Finnish loan comes to mind: sauna. How about using the original plural for this too, saunat/saunoja..?
Ah, yes, Sauna of course! Borrowed into English from Finnish around 1880-85 according to the dictionary. Borrowed... I like that... Very polite way to say we pinched it! lol! Sometimes the plural is taken, sometimes not. I've seen a sign for pierogis (a stuffed Polish dumpling). Unfortunately pierogi is already the plural! I guess it depends if just the word was taken (because we liked it - like pierogi, yum yum), or if the entire language merged. Latin was spoken as a language by parts of society, as was Norman French, not forgetting the German and Scandinavian contributions too. I think as sauna is a solo word we "borrowed", it's logical the plural would be saunas. Although I can't remember ever requiring a plural form before! But yes, it's a funny old language. Often misused and abused by native speakers. I heard a teacher once say "Cactuses" to a group of young kids on a school outing. I was only about 12 myself, but I grimaced. One thing I do find amazing, after all those linguistic contributions from language with strong gender, we somehow evolved a language with the sense to know that a table is not male/female! ;-) I believe Finnish has taken it a step further (Hungarian certainly does), no genders at all! No he/she/him or her! Awesome! Anyway, I'm off to practice my R rrrrrolling. (Maybe Laurrrrrri should do training video).
Kalvopora its true :D Because finish people are used to speak finish so it's hardes to pronounce some words (also writing them is difficult). This accent is caused by diferrent r and other stuff that are more common in finish language
A new revolutionary way of quickly makeing holes in the ice on lakes. Boil some water for a couple of hours and then use it to cut a hole through the ice in just a minute or two!
You realise that in Antarctica they do exactly that. Deepest borehole drilled is over 2km! See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_drilling#Hot_water_and_steam_drills
That GoPro lake-bottom video under the ice was SPECTACULAR!!! I never knew there could be green plants at the bottom of a frozen lake under 20 inches of ice in Winter in Finland! This video was absolutely worth doing just for that amazing video of the bottom of the lake! Thank you!!
Yeah, so Anni wins and entire world wins also, because there's so much win in Anni's ideas. And we learned again that Finnish lakes have two temperature levels: "Varm" and "Cold as faak". Oh, and last, but not least: NELLI!!!
Wonderful video, and great editing skills Anni :) I was nervous about you being on the ice at first, until I saw you were on a solid 40cm of ice. That's crazy - we have nothing like this around us.
of course water wins 1) no leidenfrost effect 2) powerful stream 3) greater heat capacity per volume 4) ten times more mass (200l water vs. 20 kg of steel) 5) beacause of 4) -total released heat energy of the cooling water (100 to 0 C) is 4,19*100*200 = 84 000 kJ -total released heat energy of the cooling steel (1400 to 0 C) is 0,46*1400*20 = 13 000 kJ is less than 1/6 of that of water that's what makes the difference
Funny that you guys try this, there is actually a VERY effective piece of equipment called a “Hot Water Drill”. This device is used to primarily drill through glaciers and ice shelves.
Your land is amazing!!! Very Awesome landscapes..... Here in Brazil we never meet to snow... only strong sun... blue sky and hot places... if I could move to the North.... congratulations!
Hey, i have a realy good video Idea for you now in the Winter. You have to finde a smaler lake (if the ice is like this i would say 5 to 10 meter in Diameter) and then drill a hole in to the lake next to the shore. After that pump the water out and see if the whole ice of the lake will stay or if it breaks. Because there is no water which carrys the ice. Best Regards
And what you have said can also be said like, it takes alot more energy to melt something than it does to cool something. There is the same amount of energy difference melting something as freezing something. (Heat of fusion) There is the same amount of energy difference in heating and cooling something by a set amount. (Specific heat capacity) HEAT WILL NOT ALWAYS WIN
I don't believe if you just tipped this water in like a trough you made it would not go through. It was the pressure pushing the water and heat through the ice
I really appreciated your endeavor and your English. You both are speaking so well; I am jealous. I wish I spoke a second language. You have a new friend in California. Me.
A remote control submarine video would be good under all that ice . It would be really interesting . Just make sure you tie some fishing line so you can pull it back if anything should happen
Way to go Anni!!! Anni wins and lake loses. Very thick ice too, impressive how hot water will cut through it so quickly, but the red hot steel and anvil really struggled in other videos.
Idea for a video: hot tub in the lake. Cut a hole in the ice. Put in 4 plywood sides. Replace the lake water with warm water. The bottom of hot tub would the the lake bottom so you'd need to do this in the same spot as this video.
I saw 2 fish! They were kicked back with a beer relaxing in the newly warmed water. They want to know if you could warm it back up a little, it's getting cold again.
Next project with your boiler.. You know when you take a cup of boiling water and toss into the air when it is really cold it becomes snow. With a fire-extinguisher nozzle on your hose, you could probably make a lot of snow..?
That was some really cool shots of the ice layers as the go pro went down horizontally. All in focus too. You should try to clear out the flattest smoothest hole you can and take some really high rez shots of the varying layers as you go down through it. I think "cutting" the ice with boiling water was what gave the face of the ice such a smooth lense-like appearance.
It just feels so strange that there are green plants under there. I guess that as long as it doesn't actually freeze, plants can survive perfectly happily, and the biggest problem for terrestrial plants in freezing weather is dehydration.
