bouche Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Someone has got to try this experiment. Video would be cool too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YearsAlongTheSea Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Yep, this one is a gold mine. A 5 Gallon Bucket of Steamy Water tossed out of a 7th floor window; add some flashlights and you got yourself a party my friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 That would have been a nice touch to the Hofmann birthday project . I heard someone once talking about being way, way, way up north and seeing what happened when a freezing fog rolled in (against around -40 or -50 C) - apparently you have an atmosphere of suspended frozen crystals hanging in the air, which you can expect does really interesting things when the sun hits it. Same guy commented how very important it is to wear natural fibre coats, as synthetics at those temperatures tend to freeze as solid as PVC tubing.

bradm Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 I remember reading how, when one of the NASA (Apollo? SkyLab?) astronauts was asked what was the most beautiful thing he'd seen in space, he replied that it was the way urine, when ejected from the holding tank, would form a span of glowing golden crystals...Aloha,Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Nice pics, Schwa.! I still have some keepers from my years in Kingston, taken along the waterfront, and I always wondered what the hell was going on to make that effect.

SteveThe Owl Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 A 5 Gallon Bucket of Steamy Water tossed out of a 7th floor window; add some flashlights and you got yourself a party my friend. Sounds a lot more fun than all the beer bottles I've accidentally dropped off my balcony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
