-- Posted by sicosys at 5:45 pm on July 9, 2009 You can get water or a gatorade to a certain temperature where its still a liquid, but then take it out of the freezer and then shake it really hard and it will freeze? My friends trying to convince me that you can add friction to something and lower the temp and i wanna know what LW thinks.... To me adding friction by shaking it would not lower the temperature and make it freeze... hmmm -- Posted by MushroomSatsujin at 5:46 pm on July 9, 2009 Friction adds heat so I doubt it -- Posted by Joep0113 at 5:46 pm on July 9, 2009 If your adding friction then you're heating something up. Friction doesn't make things colder O.o -- Posted by TechnoShark at 5:46 pm on July 9, 2009 More friction raises the temp. -- Posted by brittnutz at 5:46 pm on July 9, 2009 nope they are confusing u -- Posted by SimShrimp at 5:46 pm on July 9, 2009 It will raise the temp, not lower it. -- Posted by Leannbby at 5:46 pm on July 9, 2009 yeah, friction adds heat? -- Posted by yssuPevoLI at 5:47 pm on July 9, 2009 That's not true. Once you take it out of the freezer it starts warming, then shaking it warms it more. -- Posted by Dexter Ward at 5:47 pm on July 9, 2009 It happens with soda too if you put it in the freezer just long enough, the pressure apparently changes the freezing point just enough that it can be liquid till you open the bottle which sucks. -- Posted by Dexter Ward at 5:49 pm on July 9, 2009 If its pure enough the water won't have a nucleation site to form ice crystals.  By shaking it you cause a nucleation site to form allowing the super-cooled water to freeze. -- Posted by DonnieDarkko at 5:50 pm on July 9, 2009 Quote: from HarrySunderland at 1:47 am on July 10, 2009 Right, that's my plans for the weekend sorted. Thanks! -- Posted by Rhapsody at 6:10 pm on July 9, 2009 Yes this is possible. It has happened to me a lot where I put stuff in the freezer, and when I take them out they are still liquid by as soon as I start to drink them they start to freeze, but with a soft ice. It is possible and it happens.
