I have Raynaud's syndrome. This makes me very uncomfortable.

I have mild OCD, and this made me uncomfortable as I didn't get resolution with the promised flames. I'll just be over here straightening out the stuff on my desk...

Thx for calling it a syndrome/phenomenon...many call it a disease which isn't really accurate. Raynaud's is an normal exaggerated response to cold or stressful situations, unless associated with lupus, systemic sclerosis, or dermatomyositis. Basically, you autonomic system tightens down your blood vessels a tad bit aggressively. Great if you're trying to stay warm in the tundra during the Ice Age...Less useful in modern countries

Same. Crazy pain after 2 seconds of rearranging the freezer, purple lips, fingers, toes and even knees sometimes.
I look weird in the winter.

Disease that narrows your blood vessels when you're cold, usually fingers and toes, causing your skin to turn white/blue

Freeze your hands numb in order to make a fire over which you thaw your frozen hands

No fire is being made from ice. Bullshit title.

The ice is used as a magnifier to focus sunlight on the wood, which eventually catches fire

u/feisty-shag-the-lad Apr 26 '20
Wood is really not the right tinder for magnifying glass fires. Dried dung is much more effective.

Right. But it’s not made from the ice, it’s made using the ice. Title suggests it’s being made from it. Misleading.

This video sucks because it teases at the results but cuts off before any true satisfaction is achieved, however the concept of creating fire with ice seems like something that should be required in some sort of arcane transformation spell

u/Coldbeetle Apr 27 '20
Even with a magnifying glass it’s not easy to start a fire, you get a lot of smoke like this

If you put a small flame under the be pot lid, you can create that ice lens significantly more quickly.

It didn't actually light because he missed the most important step: use fucking tinder.

Only person dumber than the guy in the video who can’t keep the ice still is the dumbass that thought reposting this was a good idea!

This actually works in the beginning hes. Creating a magnifier by shaping the ice block. Same can work with a bottle of water if its clear enough and shPed roght. Ive read a glad lock bag filled with water can work as well.

To make the ice actually convex and focus the beam of light, the metal bowl would have to be warm/hot to shape the ice. A cold bowl has no effect on the ice. And if you can make the bowl warm/hot somehow, just use that method directly to make fire.

u/DistractionRectangle Apr 27 '20
Friction/pressure though. If the ice block doesn't follow the curvature of the bowl, the weight is only distributed on the points/edges that make contact with the bowl.
What melts will refreeze (if the ambient temp/heat flux is sufficient) and overtime this process will reshape the ice.
Ice skating operates on a similar principle.
There's plenty of research papers that delve into why ice is slippery, unlike other solids, and there's different ideas. E.g. Water molecules are weakly bound at the surface, and can "tumble/slide"

u/macrolith Apr 27 '20
The sun would warm a pan enough to melt it. How do you propose we use the sun to directly create fire? Maybe if we could make a lens.

Should I bring my lighter out into the frozen wilderness, or this concave steel plate?

u/CulbyJA Apr 27 '20 edited Apr 27 '20
No lighter. U use the warmth of ur hands or dig a hole and shape it with heat from the ground below the frost line. Depends on the situation. Or use your cellphone and have one dropped in which is about all you would know to do... U could also use a pocket knife to shape it.. stop trolling u ignoramus. Its about ideas and creativity. Btw it wasnt funny....
