0:00:08if you have everybody carefully at high schools in wintertime you would probably have noticed
0:00:13that many of them have a stress pattern reports you round conference which half a
0:00:18wavelength of about one centimetre
0:00:21in this paper we present an experimental study that explores the origin and evolution at
0:00:28school groups
0:00:30so to do this we build a tabletop machines for road icicles that allows us
0:00:35to control the temperature water supply rate and their emotional ground yes
0:00:40we rotate score very slowly well it's growing so we can distribute the war usually
0:00:46around score to encourage to symmetry and the rotation also allows us to image analyze
0:00:53the different sides of ice
0:00:56here are three discourse grown under identical conditions except for the concentration of sodium chloride
0:01:03salt water
0:01:05the movie on the left shows that the stillwater icicle which has a platonic shape
0:01:10with a relatively smooth surface
0:01:13the movie in the middle is in high school make from this show that has
0:01:17only forty milligrams of salt water
0:01:20and we can see that even such a tiny amount of ionic impurities can produce
0:01:25a clear regular set of triples
0:01:29move your right shows a much more stable i icicle which deviates furthest away from
0:01:35both actually symmetry and self similarity
0:01:39so using image analysis and four methods we found that gram reports are not present
0:01:45on to stillwater icicles even when it's actually the water with to solve task
0:01:51growing ripples are also not produced when we have tried to next one hundred which
0:01:56is not a on extracted that we used we used the surface tension of one
0:02:03on the other hand ripples appear a nice clothes made from c one water even
0:02:08at very low concentration
0:02:11the report on more steel and icicles go faster to higher amplitudes although the amplitude
0:02:17can also decrease after it has actually
0:02:21we also found that sufficiently most women's the growth speed of the proposed increases with
0:02:28the salt concentration
0:02:30this increase is roughly one rhythmic which is very weak
0:02:35a little about one o five percent the ripples quite a pi score uniformly at
0:02:39a speed of a few millimetres per hour
0:02:42but about one of five we present the recall motion becomes more nonlinear and different
0:02:48ripples on the scene icicle contract no opposite direction
0:02:53there have been a couple of theories trying to explain the formation of isaac ripples
0:02:59but not of them has considered the effect and theories
0:03:03which we have shown experimentally to bp most significant control parameter in this problem
