3Freezing water releases heat.冻水释放热量.
4We're going to see why this happens and how it can mean the我们要看看为什么会这样 以及这是什么意思
5difference between an entire orchard surviving or freezing to death during a late winter storm.整个果园在冬季风暴后期存活或冻死之间的差别。
6This year in April, late freezing temperatures in the western United States caused a complete今年四月,美国西部的晚冷气温 导致美国西部地区
7loss of many fruit orchards due to the fruit blossoms freezing in the sub-zero temperatures.许多果园在零度以下的温度下因果实开花而消失。
8However, I had heard that there's a technique that farmers sometimes use where they'll spray不过,我听说有种技术 农民有时会用来喷雾
9water on their crops to cover them with a layer of ice in order to somehow protect them from freezing.他们的庄稼上有水,用一层冰覆盖他们, 以某种方式保护他们免受冰冻。
10This seems very counterintuitive.这似乎非常反感。
11Why would a layer of ice keep your plants from freezing?为什么冰层会让你的植物不冻?
12Well, if you look this up online, you'll find a lot of people saying that the ice insulates the如果你在网上查的话 你会发现很多人说 冰层会绝缘
13But that can't be the reason.但这不可能是原因。
14Ice is actually a much better conductor of heat than liquid water.冰实际上是比液态水更好的热导体.
15So why do some farmers swear by this method?那为什么有些农民要用这种方法发誓?
16Well, to show you why it helps,嗯,为了告诉你为什么它帮助,
17I need to stick a water bottle in the freezer and wait.我要把水瓶放在冰箱里等着
18Now before we continue, with summer in full swing and so many celebrations happening this year,在我们继续之前, 夏天满是秋天, 这么多的庆祝今年,
19I want to thank Raycon for sponsoring this video and sending me their bone conduction headphones.我想感谢雷康赞助了这段视频 并寄给我他们的骨导耳机
20Whenever I need to hear what's going on around me but still want to listen to music,每当我需要听到我周围发生的事情... ...但仍想听音乐,
21these are the headphones I use.这些是我的耳机。
22Whether it's going for a walk,无论它去散步,
23doing experiments, or just cleaning up in the lab, they sit right outside of your ears and做实验,或者在实验室打扫, 他们就坐在你的耳朵外面
24instead of blocking your ear canal, they use bone conduction.而不是堵住你的耳渠, 他们使用骨导线。
25So the sound travels through the所以声音会穿过
26vibrations in your bones.骨头里有震动
27That means I can listen to music, podcasts, or calls while still hearing也就是说我可以一边听音乐一边听播客,一边听电话
28what's going on around me because nothing's blocking my ear canal.我周围发生什么了 因为我的耳朵没有堵塞
29And not only is this不仅如此
30a cool way to transfer sound signals to your brain, but it's much nicer than regular earphones.将声音信号传递到大脑的酷方法,但比普通耳机要好得多.
31I can stay aware of traffic, people, or equipment around me without sacrificing sound quality.我可以在不牺牲音质的情况下 保持对交通、人员或设备的认识
32They're also built for everyday use.也为日常使用而建造.
33You can get up to 13 hours of battery life,电池寿命可达13小时
34and they're IP68 waterproof and dustproof.他们都是IP68防水防尘的
35So sweat, rain, and even sand isn't a problem.所以,汗水,雨, 甚至沙子都不是问题。
36And what's nice is the no-bud design stays comfortable and doesn't slip while you move.不错的是,无泡泡设计保持舒适,不会在移动时滑倒.
37And another nice thing is that Raycon delivers premium performance without the premium price tag.还有一件好事是雷康在没有溢价标签的情况下提供溢价性能.
38So their quality rivals the big audio brands, but at about half the cost.因此,他们的质量与大型音响品牌竞争,但成本约为一半.
39Over three million300多万

45Now let's get back to our experiment.现在,让我们回到我们的实验。
46Now the goal here is to cool down this water until it drops well below 32 degrees Fahrenheit现在的目标是冷却这水 直到它下降到32华氏度以下
47or zero degrees Celsius.或零摄氏度。
48Now we'll check it a bit later here, and you can see that it's现在我们待会再查,你可以看到
49well below freezing temperature now, but the water is still liquid.已经低于冰冻温度了 但水还是液体
50Now the reason it's still liquid现在原因仍然是液体
51is because water doesn't freeze at 32 degrees or zero degrees Celsius.是因为水不会在32摄氏度或零摄氏度时结冰。
52That's just the point这就是重点
53at which it can freeze.在那里它可以冻结。
54The temperature at which water has to freeze is about negative 40 degrees水冷却温度约为负40度
55which just so happens to be negative 40 degrees Fahrenheit.正好是华氏40度的负值
56So for once in my life,所以,在我的一生中,
57the world can be united about the temperature scale.世界可以团结在温度尺度上。
58So if water can freeze at zero degrees如果水能以零度结冰
59Celsius, but it doesn't have to freeze until about negative 40 degrees, then what's this摄氏度,但它不必冻结 直到负40度, 那么这是什么
60in-between region?区域之间?
61Well, this is the supercooled region.这是超级冷却区
62Thermodynamically speaking, in this region,热力学说,在这个区域,
63the water would rather be a solid than a liquid.水是固体而不是液体
64But the problem is that it first has to make a但是问题在于它首先必须做到
65first tiny ice crystal, and that takes a little bit of energy.第一小冰晶 这需要一点能量
66It's kind of like an activation有点像激活
67energy for a chemical reaction.用于化学反应的能量。
68But once that first tiny crystal forms, the rest of the ice但一旦第一个小结晶形成 剩下的冰块
69can grow easily.可以轻松成长.
70Now one way to lower this activation energy is to give the ice a surface现在降低这种激活能量的方法之一 就是给冰表面
71{\fn黑体\fs22\bord1\shad0\3aHBE\4aH00\fscx67\fscy66\2cHFFFFFF\3cH808080}然后开始编队 {\fn黑体\fs22\bord1\shad0\3aHBE\4aH00\fscx67\fscy66\2cHFFFFFF\3cH808080}然后开始
72Instead of having to make a tiny sphere of ice floating in the middle of water,而不是在水中漂浮着冰块
73it can simply start growing on the surface, so only about 180 degrees.它可以在表面开始生长 所以只有180度左右
74That takes less energy,这需要更少的精力,
75and if that surface has tiny scratches or imperfections, you can get an even smaller如果表面有微小的划痕或不完美, 你可以得到更小的
76angle that it has to form, and so it takes even less energy.因此它需要更少的能量。
77So rough surfaces tend to form ice粗糙的表面会形成冰
78more easily than smooth ones.比平滑的还容易
79Another thing that lowers this activation energy, of course,当然,还有一件事会降低激活能量
80is temperature.是温度。
81The colder the water gets, the easier it is for that first ice crystal to form.水越冷,第一个冰晶就更容易形成.
82Eventually, once you get down to about negative 38 to negative 40 degrees, the barrier becomes so最终,一旦你下降到 大约负38到负40度, 屏障变得如此
83small that the normal random collisions of water molecules are enough to create the first ice小于水分子的正常随机碰撞足以产生第一个冰
84crystal almost instantly.晶体几乎瞬间。
85But above that temperature, it's really just a waiting game.但是在温度以上,它真的只是一个等待游戏。
86Eventually, by random chance, enough molecules will get enough energy and come together in the最后,通过随机的偶然性, 足够的分子会得到足够的能量 并聚集在其中
87right way to form that first ice crystal, but it might take seconds or hours.形成第一个冰晶的正确方法 但可能需要几秒钟或几小时
88So that's where we这就是我们
89are with our water bottle right now.我们的水瓶现在。
90If I take supercooled water like this and pour it on ice如果我把超级冷水 像这样倒在冰上
91crystals, then it doesn't need any activation energy, so it spontaneously forms ice at the晶体,那么它不需要任何激活能量, 所以它自发地形成冰在
92{\fn黑体\fs22\bord1\shad0\3aHBE\4aH00\fscx67\fscy66\2cHFFFFFF\3cH808080}我倒在地上 {\fn黑体\fs22\bord1\shad0\3aHBE\4aH00\fscx67\fscy66\2cHFFFFFF\3cH808080}我倒在地上
93Also, if I take the supercooled water and hit it, I can give it its而且,如果我拿 超级冷水打它,我可以给它
94activation energy to form ice, and the whole thing can suddenly freeze.激活能量形成冰块,整件事会突然冻结.
95Now this is pretty cool and现在这很酷
96all, but what does it have to do with keeping plants alive during a freeze?但是这和植物在冰冻期间生存有什么关系?
97Well, I mentioned我提到过
98that liquid water needs a bit of energy to make that very first ice crystal.液态水需要一点能量 才能形成第一个冰晶
99It needs to get over它需要结束
100that initial bump, but after that, it's all downhill.最初的颠峰,但在那之后, 这一切都是下坡。
101It actually releases energy when it它会释放能量
102turns from a liquid into a solid.从液体变成固体
103So yes, you heard that right.是的,你说得对。
104Ice formation is exothermic.冰的形成具有排出性.
105It releases heat.它释放热量。
106Although this sounds counterintuitive, it actually makes sense虽然这听起来反直觉,但实际上有道理
107when you think about it.当你想到它。
108What do you have to do to make ice from water?你要怎么做才能从水中制冰?
109You have to continually你必须不断
110remove heat.清除热量。
111If you don't remove the heat, you get no ice.不除热则无冰.
112So that should mean that if I can measure如果我能衡量的话
113the temperature of this water bottle, when it suddenly turns to ice, it should warm up.这个水瓶的温度, 当它突然变成冰, 它应该热起来。
114So let's try it here.所以,让我们试试这里。
115Whoa.珃
116And look at that.看那个
117It gets warmer.变暖了
118It actually warms up by about其实是暖和的
11910 degrees Fahrenheit.十度华严.
120So it gets back to 32 degrees Fahrenheit or zero degrees Celsius,因此它回到32华氏度或零摄氏度,
121exactly the equilibrium freezing point of water.正是水的平衡冻结点
122Let's try it again.师再试.
123So you can see my liquid这样你就能看到我的液体了
124bottle on the left here is next to another bottle that already started to freeze.左边的瓶子是另一个已经开始冻结的瓶子的旁边.
125So that bottle's所以那个瓶子
12632 degrees Fahrenheit.三十二度华严.
127You can see how it's much warmer than the one that hasn't frozen yet.你可以看到它有多温暖 比一个还没有冰冻。
128But不过
129now if I hit the liquid water bottle, you can see it instantly releases heat and warms up to 32现在,如果我击中液态水瓶, 你可以看到它立即释放热量,热度高达32
130degrees.学位。
131Oh, look at that.哦,看看那个。
132Whoa.珃
133This is just so mind blowing to me.这让我心烦意乱
134It seems so wrong to see water看见水似乎很不对劲
135heat up when it's freezing.寒冷时加热.
136Now my water bottles could only get to about 20 degrees Fahrenheit现在我的水瓶只能达到20华氏度
137before they started freezing, but pure water should be able to get to much lower temperatures但纯水应该能降低温度
138before it's forced to freeze.在它被迫冻结之前。
139So I wanted to see how close I could get to this theoretical所以我想看看我有多接近这个理论
140limit of negative 40 degrees.负40度限制。
141If I reduce my water drop size, I'm statistically less likely如果我减少水量,统计学上我更不可能
142to have many nucleation sites.拥有许多核子化网站。
143Also, if I make the interface that the water is touching a liquid as而且,如果我做接口 水触摸液体
144well, then it'll avoid nucleation sites.那么,它会避免核子化网站。
145So what I'm going to do is put some small drops of distilled所以,我要做的是放一些小滴蒸馏
146water on this Petri dish of mineral oil, and then I'll set the dish on some dry ice.这个Petri的矿油盘上的水 然后把盘子放在干冰上
147So it'll start开始吧
148to cool down.冷静下来。
149This oil will drop to way lower temperature than negative 40 degrees, but let's这种油会下降到比负40度更低的温度 但让我们
150see how close the water drops can get to that theoretical point of negative 40.看水滴有多接近 理论上的负40。
151But how do I但是,我怎样
152know when they're freezing with these tiny drops?知道这些小滴冰冻的时候吗?
153Well, remember that freezing water releases heat记得冻水释放热量
154like I just showed.就像我刚刚展示。
155So I can know exactly when they freeze if I see a sudden hot spot.这样我就能知道他们什么时候冻结 如果我看到一个突然的热点。
156So I'll我会的
157measure the temperature of the liquid with my IR camera.用我的IR相机测量液体的温度。
158And what I expect to see is tiny hot我期望看到的是微小的热量
159spots pop up whenever a drop freezes.滴滴冻结时会出现斑点。
160So let's see what happens.因此,让我们看看会发生什么。
161Whoa.珃
162Okay, the first drop just好吧,第一滴刚刚
163froze.冻结。
164And we see a little hot spot show up that brought it back up to 32 degrees for that specific我们看到一个小热点出现, 它把它带回了32度 对于具体
165drop.下来。
166There's another one.还有一个
167Another one.又一个.
168Okay, the last one finally froze.好吧,最后一个终于冻结了。
169I was able to get to about我终于知道
170negative 20 degrees Fahrenheit before the last drop froze.在最后一滴之前,华氏20度
171So now we're starting to understand现在我们开始明白
172how putting liquid water on something during below freezing temperatures could protect it.如何在温度低于冰冷时 将液态水放上它
173As that water starts to freeze, it releases heat that keeps it at 32 degrees, and it won't drop当水开始结冰时,它释放出热量,使其保持在32度,不会下降
174below that temperature.温度以下。
175So water that's turning into ice is like a little heater that keeps因此,水变成冰 就像一个小热器保持
176whatever it is on at 32 degrees.无论它是什么 在32度。
177So as long as there is ice forming on the plant, the plant itself只要植物上结冰 植物本身
178cannot be below freezing.不能低于冰冻。
179So let's see how well this actually works.让我们来看看这到底有多有效。
180So I went out and cut some于是我出去切了一些东西
181from my yard that are identical.从我院子里一样的。
182I'm going to put them in the freezer, but the one on the left I'm我要把它们放进冰箱,但是左边那个我
183going to spray with pure water.喷上纯水。
184And I'm spraying this with ice water, so it's not going to help我用冰水喷这个 所以没用的
185it because it's warming it up at all.因为它的暖化 它的完全。
186The water is already freezing temperatures.水已经冷冻的温度。
187So let's see所以让我们看看
188if this actually helps.如果这真的有用的话。
189Okay, I'm going to wait about five minutes here.好吧,我在这里等5分钟
190Okay, let's check the好吧,让我们检查一下
191temperatures now.现在温度。
192Whoa, look at that.哇,看看那个。
193Look how much warmer the one that I sprayed with water is.你看,多温暖 我喷的水是。
194So I can see solid water on here.这样我就能看见这里的固体水。
195Now let's warm these up and see which plant actually froze.现在,让我们热热这些 看看哪个植物实际上冻结了。
196So the one that had solid ice on it didn't freeze.所以那个有坚固的冰块 并没有结冰
197So ice protects plants from freezing.所以冰能保护植物免于冰冻
198It really is true.这是真的。
199But before you go spraying all your plants with water right during a freeze,但是在冷冻期间 去喷洒你的植物之前
200this method isn't foolproof.这种方法不是万无一失的
201Once you no longer have any liquid turning to ice,一旦你不再有液体变成冰
202then the plant will continue to drop in temperature, even with the ice on it.植物会继续降温 即使上面有冰块
203For example, in this experiment, I did the same thing except I let all the water freeze,例如,在这个实验中,我做了同样的事情 除了我让所有的水冻结,
204leaving the flowers at negative temperatures for a long time.长时间以负温离开花朵.
205And in this case, both flowers died.而在这种情况下,两朵花都死了.
206Also, if you live in a dry climate, sometimes the act of spraying the plants can make it worse还有,如果你生活在干燥的气候中, 有时喷洒植物的行为会更糟
207because the water evaporates and cools down really quickly.因为水蒸发和冷却非常快。
208And then that lands on the plant然后它降落在植物上
209cooling it down faster so it could freeze faster as well.把它冷却得更快 这样它也能更快地冷却下来
210So overall, this method does help,因此,总的来说,这种方法确实有帮助,
211but it's like an art of when and how to apply the water to help the plants without making it worse.但是它就像一个艺术 何时和如何应用水 来帮助植物 而不让它更糟。
212So let me know in the comments section if you've ever used a method like this to save your plants所以,请在评论部分告诉我,如果你曾经使用这样的方法来拯救你的植物
213during a freeze.在冻结期间。
214And thanks for watching another episode of the Action Lab.感谢您观看另一集的动作实验室。
215I hope you learned我希望你学过
