DIRECTIONAL FREEZING

Crystal clear ice can be made easily and cheaply with a method called ‘directional freezing’. This method was written about back in December of 2009 by Camper English from Alcademics.com – read his article ‘Clear Ice Blocks at Home in an Igloo Cooler‘ (goo.gl/8LUTU) for a more in-depth look as well as some other interesting experiments.

Directional freezing is the act of freezing a liquid from top to bottom. This method forces the impurities and air bubbles downwards due to the insulated materials on the bottom and sides.
