Self Freezing Coca-Cola (The trick that works on any soda!)
Take any bottle of soda, and get it to freeze on command! This "super cool" trick works with cans of soda as well.
To date, I haven't seen any tutorials on exactly how to get this "self-freezing coke" effect, so I'm excited to release this video in response to thousands of viewer requests.

Detailed Tips & Tricks for making "Instant Ice": http://youtu.be/7o8moFSHrAQ
WARNING: Leaving soda in the freezer too long can result in failure of the container, and a big mess. Glass bottles are not recommended, as the ice expands when freezing and can shatter the glass explosively. Use of video content is at own risk.
This project was inspired by the viral YouTube video: "How to Chill A Coke In just a second!!" (http://youtu.be/ngt74e1DxPU) and the process of nucleation was inspired by "Self-Freezing Coke - Crazy from Kong!" http://youtu.be/j07SweYJTSM.
I knew water could be turned to instant ice (http://youtu.be/sQdLttUh_b0), but was amazed to see that soda could be supercooled as well.
The anomaly of "self freezing soda" has been observed by many people, usually by accident. Some people put a soda in the freezer to chill it, but then forget about it. When they've remembered and gone to get it, it's liquid until they open it, leaving them puzzled. Some people have noticed the effect by leaving the soda outside in cold temperatures.
There is a vending machine in Hong Kong that sells supercooled Coke bottles, and the instructions to trigger nucleation is the same as in this video, however they recommend taking a sip when the cap is on. I believe this is to increase the chances of impurities being introduced into the liquid, making nucleation more likely.
From what I've seen, the results in this experiment form an even thicker slush than the vending machine in Hong Kong.
To get this effect, I put 4 bottles of 500mL (16.9 oz) soda in a freezer set at -24ºC (-11ºF) between 3:15- 4:00 hours. The longer they are in, the more dramatic and solid the slushy freeze will be. However, anytime after 3:15 hours there is a chance of them freezing before you take them out.
Every freezer will be a little different temperature, and I've noticed the location of your bottles in the freezer makes a dramatic difference on freeze times. For best results, choose one consistent location in your freezer, and play around with freeze times to see what works best for you. In my freezer, the middle of the center rack settles at -24ºC (-11ºF) and takes 3:15 to super chill 4 bottles.
Remember that the longer the freezer door is open, the more cold air will escape, and it will make your freeze times take much longer because your freezer has to cool down again. I've also noticed that the more frozen items you have in your freezer, the faster your soda will chill. In contrast, the less items in your freezer, the longer your soda will take to cool. Bottom line is, use a consistent environment for your experiments, and you'll get consistent results!
I also experimented with 2 litter bottles, and had great results between 4-5 hours. The whole bottle slushifies in an instant.
I experimented with Gatorade, Fresca, Mexican Sprite, Rootbeer, Orange sodas, Coke, Diet Coke, in bottle form, as well as in cans. I had super cooled success with them all!
The trick to getting the 3 second slush, is quickly releasing the pressure in the bottle and re-securing the cap, flipping the bottle upside down, and back upright again. This is because the forming ice crystals will be moved around the length of the bottle, and trigger nucleation for the rest of the soda.
If you were to just take the cap off, ice will form, and it will slowly spread downward, but might take upwards of 2 minutes for the bottle to completely freeze.
Removing the pressure very slowly from the bottle, can keep the soda liquified, and give you the choice opportunity to play with supercooled soda outside of the bottle. -

WARNING: Use of video content is at own risk.
Project Inspired by: A friend at work, named Lew, told me he left water bottles outside overnight in freezing temperatures, then got the water to freeze instantly by shaking them. Since then, I've seen multiple videos on YouTube demonstrating the effect of supercooled water, and had multiple requests to make a video.
I've never seen anyone pour super cooled water into another container, and initiate the freeze using an ice cube, so I really wanted to try that. The effect is seen in the blue glass, and the clear glass in the video and, in my opinion, was worth the effort!
To get this effect, I put multiple unopened bottles of "PUREFLO" (http://www.pureflo.com) bottled water in the freezer for 2 hours and 45 minutes exactly. The purified water gets supercooled, and when it touches an ice crystal, it turns instantly to ice. It will also do this if the bottle is hit hard enough.
This was a really fun project, and one of my favorites because it's safe, awe inspiring, and anyone can do it. -
Vacumm Arc Melting - 6000 °F Furnace
I recently got the opportunity to visit a company the produce Vacuum Arc Melting Furnaces and many other vacuum related macinery like evaporation and sputtring systems.
I always have my camera with me and my car is loaded with different metals samples and scraps. Thought this might be a cool video to share with you guys, even though it is not directly related to Gold-N-Scrap subjects.
In this video, we melted smaples of Titanium, Molybdenum and Tantalum Nitride/Tantalum.
Arc temprature easily exceeds the melting point of those metals and we only used a fraction of the furnace power capability.
If by any chance you are involved in the sputtring & coating industry or generally in metallurgy research and might be interested in these systems, send me a message here or e-mail me at: sam@goldnscrap.com and i'll be happy to connect you with the manufacturer directly (world wide service).
