Cooling down water by BOILING it

[MattisProbably]

This is also how you can make frozen nitrogen :) You pull a vacuum, the molecules with the higher kinetic energy transfer to the gas phase while the average kinetic energy in the liquid phase drops, allowing it to freeze.

This is the most normal Vsauce video in the past month.

For his next trick, Michael will set the water on fire.

Random fact, most ships evaporate seawater to distill it and produce freshwater by lowering the pressure in a chamber so by exchanging heat from the engines cooling water (at the same time cooling it) is enough to evaporate it

Vsauce is the type of science teacher to let us make a nuclear bomb to teach us how heat works

[Skailed]

"let's cool down some water - by BOILING IT"
most normal beginning to a vsauce video, ever

[MOfTheNorth]

Finally, a Vsauce video that isn’t making me question the nature of my existence.

Love this. The air pressure prevents water turning into a gas. Water naturally wants to turn to gas. You just have to reduce the pressure. You explained this beautifully. This also demonstrates how delicately balanced nature is on earth. Thanks V-Sauce.

If vsauce didn't exist we'd still be in the stone age

This man could tell me that I have 26 fingers on one hand and I’d believe him

This is actually the fundamental mechanic used in your air conditioning. We drop the pressure of refrigerant, and it 'evaporates' (boils) amd the gaseous refrigerant absorbs heat you don't want in your home.

Seriously, you and few other youtubers got me into science.. and now my son loves your channel! Literally you've taught multiple generations in my family! 😅

[nishpish]

The universe is Michael's playground

[UnidentifiedFlyingSquirrel]

I love how excited he gets about simple science, the tone he has just makes him seem like he’s having the time of his life

[Evghenios]

imagine if VSauce was your physics teacher in high school...

[Willow_Sky]

This is one of the very few experiments from middle school science that really stuck with me.

[christopherhall]

probably the single most perspective changing lesson I learned was that boiling points are determined by air pressure as much as temperature

[sinuture]

This is arguably one of the best explanation of boiling. Cool!

[SludgeBob]

"Hey honey, did you cool down the pasta yet?"

"Yup, I just gotta boil it first!"

[AlwaysBolttheBird]

That was the best description of why water (or any liquid) boils at lower temps at higher altitude/lower air pressure and actually helped me understand it
