Making Fire from Ice

[denvernative321]

You should be able to use a microwave to boil it pure as well. I believe this is the same as when you boil water and pour it between two cups repeatedly. You'll remove all the contamination allowing you to bring the water right up to 212 deg F. If you do this, and then drop a (not steril) spoon into the water, the water will "explode"... all the contamination on the spoon will transition from solid to gas immediately.

he is right it will explode in a sense. DONT TRY IT. its not worth the boiling hot water burns trust me. its not as exciting as you would think.

Yea totally!
I'm sure I'll try it under safe lab-like conditions. How about chem apron, welding sleeves, face shield, helmet, steel toes, and heavy gloves. Mythbusters ballistic shield, and high speed camera. You can eagerly await my next post from the ER.

Reminds of around this time last year when I spent $10 on materials to make myself some stilts for my birthday.

Please let us all know when you're going to do this, so we can bring lawn chairs and beer!
