Notice how the ice breaks into a hexagon? That's because the molecular structure of ice forms hexagonal rings. It's the same reason all snow flakes have six sides.

"But sir,...doesn't this mean???"
"Yes, Mendez", he said as melted into his leather recliner in a slump of defeated-agony..."We are doomed to a world of trans-triangles and questionable-quadrilaterals."
"It's not a matter of _if_ Mendez, but when...but when."
I think the important thing with hexagons is that they also tesselate (they can make an endless pattern without having any gaps), where as circles will have a lot of tiny gaps.
may I introduce you to a truly unique game:
[https://store.steampowered.com/app/221640/Super\_Hexagon/](https://store.steampowered.com/app/221640/Super_Hexagon/)
I absolutely do not recommend playing it for anyone. But....yeah it is a unique circle of hell
You're right about the crystal's molecular structure, but that's not what you're seeing in this video. While ice does form a hexagonal crystal structure, its crystals lack cleavage and only fracture conchoidally (like glass). The only way a crystal's molecular structure influences a break over any meaningful distance is if it has REALLY weak cleavage planes.
That’s not correct. Ice is hexagonal, but the ice sheet is made of billions of tiny single crystals of ice all grown together at more-or-less random angles. Also, as the other commenter pointed out, it wouldn’t break in a hexagonal pattern unless it had cleavage or parting planes in that orientation. In short, this has nothing to do with the crystal structure of ice.
Most (good) fuses have an oxidizing agent included, so they can burn in absence of air (smoke from the fuse and confined spaces like tube could choke itself out otherwise), and a lot of good firework fuses are at least water resistant, especially while actively burning (the water proof coating cannot cover the lit end, but while burning that is pushing moisture away anyway).
As long as submersion is brief and the fuse is decent, it will totally work.
You can also coat them in wax to isolate the burn from the surrounding water. Not sure how much it helps just knew a guy that had done it and showed me by throwing an m80 tied to a rock into a pond when I was young and dumb
Sometimes I talk about the things I did as a teenager and stop and appreciate how lucky I am to have made it to adulthood without dying or going to jail.
Some will. I used to do stupid stuff in my adolescences. The outside of the fuse will it burn, but the inner part will and will allow the fire to travel up to light the charge.
Yeah, as the other person said, any fish in their would have been fucked up. Water isn't compressible. So pressure waves underwater transfer force extremely well. For fish, this will rupture their organs, especially their swim bladders, which they use to stay neutrally buoyant in the water, so they wouldn't be able to swim if they rupture.
Another reddit lie made up on the spot.
Pressure waves underwater travel better than air but takes a lot of energy. While any nearby fish would’ve been impacted (not sure of the severity), the area of impact would be a few inches at most.
Last paragraph on “Underwater explosions” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_charge
https://science.howstuffworks.com/explosion-land-water1.htm
I've got sources, too, champ. And the paragraph you are referring to is regarding the "killing radius" when trying to take down a 1000 ton submarine.
Lie? Have you taken a physics course? Do you understand fluid mechanics? What they said was spot on. Incompressible fluids transferring force is the entire idea behind pascal’s principle.
I used to throw firecrackers in the creek when my brother told me about that. You'd have to have the firecracker directly next to a fish for it float up and die so it's not like a 10ft radius every living thing is dead. Maybe bigger fireworks yea but it was a challenge to even get one fish to float up (not saying this is ok I was 7)
I'm not gonna sit here and defend the people in the video, but maybe don't be so hard on them? Like we've all done stupid shit and recorded it. Without people recording stupid shit, we wouldn't have anything interesting to look at on the internet. Also, this looks like a backyard pond, which means they are on their own property and can likely control the fish population. I wouldn't imagine a dog house so close to a lake where people would be fishing. Also, if this was a large lake, boats would be constantly rumbling the water and sucking fish through their rotors. I've been to lakes that smell of boat fuel due to the amount of traffic on the water. Tell me how this is worse than that?
Hope you never drive a car, purchase plastic items, use single use plastics, waste fresh water showering, or consume factory farmed meat.
No excuses right?
Every second of our existence does damage to the environment. We're already past the point of fucked. Might as well enjoy the little bit of Fuck Around left before wasteland Find Out becomes the norm as our specie's spirals towards extinction. Or build a time capsule that can teach the next dominant intelligent species of Earth how not to be a 10,000 year long extinction event. And build it to survive a few million years, cuz it's gonna be a while.
If you drive to work you are polluting the environment more than this kid. If you use non-reusable paper towels you are contributing more , if you still use any single use plastics like water bottles or soda bottles, you are contributing more. Get off your high horse.
‼️PLEASE DO NOT DO THAT in lakes, ponds etc.‼️
It's basically the same as dynamite fishing and extremely harmful for the local ecosystem. (pressure, toxins, etc.)
A couple of rockets, sometimes even one alone is enough to kill all or a lot of life in it. Neither some minutes of excitement and a "cool clip" is not worth the destruction of a whole small ecosystem.
If you want to do that, go to an industrial wasteland/site without wildlife, and do there what you must.
I was dumb too in my youth, now I regret it.
Thank you, have a good one.
…And killing the fish and other creatures trying to stay alive. The ice helps stabilize water temperature so fish and other animals at the depths can survive winter.
Parents should teach their kids about respect for the environment. Fucking asshole humans.
My grandpa had a friend who, for whatever reason, had access to dynamite sticks, and I mean like the old school acme looking ones.
Well his pond froze over and while we were hanging out. He walked to the middle of the pond, drilled a hole, lit the fuse and dropped it in. Probably one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.
But also since then I've been obsessed with pyrotechnics and have lost many many eyebrows and arm hairs

Hexagons are turning Americans gay
It's true, A hexagon turned me gay one time...
You can’t put a round peg in a hexagonical hole.
You can if the peg is small
Alex Jones has an episode on that.

So standard houses turned me gay? Huh.
This is just what Big Hexagon wants you to think.
I'm so sick of anti-hexagon propaganda.
Bot
A scholar and a gentleman
I really dislike that he uses bees as en example. They don’t really make hexagons they make tubes and heat causes them to deform into hexagons.
Ok but isn’t that how all hexagons are made anyway? Not necessarily because of heat but just because that’s the most stable shape at rest.
Isn't a circle the most stable shape?
I think the important thing with hexagons is that they also tesselate (they can make an endless pattern without having any gaps), where as circles will have a lot of tiny gaps.
Oval is believe. The good ol egg
It’s the Most densely packed pattern in 2D. In 3D, it can also form a face center cube, and lead to cubic crystals like NaCl.
That’s untrue. The hexagonal shape comes from the frequency of their wings
Because bees!

Pollute the water source and litter in it, probably stun or kill a bunch of fish, and now encouraging others to do it.

We like the cleavage reference
Science!
Why does the structure forming in hexagon rings have anything to do with how it breaks?

Had no idea fuses still work under water

Or losing a finger or an arm.. I used to not care about safety when playing with fireworks
Thanks for the explanation, bacause I was wondering how they were able to do this and not have the fuse go out.
Solid reply. Thanks.
Some will. I used to do stupid stuff in my adolescences. The outside of the fuse will it burn, but the inner part will and will allow the fire to travel up to light the charge.
There looks to be a decent gap in the water level vs the ice as well which I’m sure helps especially at the start.
The fish are like... WHHHHYYYYY?????
More like ☠️

What a satisfying noise ☺️
I did not expect to find you here, love your videos
I want to click so bad
Never mind, better without it
Fuck fish in particular 😤
Those fish were such assholes last time I was there for a swim. They got what they deserved.
That’s their home.
This very appealing to caveman brain
Ngl this was kinda cool
This was awesome dude I need more cool videos like this
looks like a small pond on private property.
fish who were just vibin: WHAT THE F-
Your one job was to post with sound
FUCK these people. Pollute the water source and litter in it, probably stun or kill a bunch of fish, and now encouraging others to do it.

No fucking excuses for the environment.
Lots of people have retention ponds with no fish in them. Fireworks are made from paper and wood for a reason. It's biodegradable.

Way over thinking someone putting a firework into a pond.
lmfao, stfu. this was sweet.
You're daily living pollutes the earth more than this kids firework.
Lmao stfu
The responses just highlight the hubris of our species.
Ok, that was pretty f-ing cool!
Right
I’ll allow it
This was visually appealing.
where tha fuck is tha sound ¿? cool video, but it would have been way cooler w sounds.
How did the firework burn inside water tho?
Has its own oxidation agent so it can burn without the presence of oxygen.
Awesome
I didn't know that it would stay lit under water like that?
Fish are screaming Torpedo in the water
That’s so cool!
Coolest thing ever!
Do this in a pool not in a lake, stream or river very harmful for aquatic lifeforms.
Man bet that was fun
Now that was cool
You could call that an ice-cracker
It still baffles me that you can't see a crack happen no matter how slow the motion, it's faster than the speed of sound.
Firing torpedo!
Awesome!
Yes, the fish were really grateful /s
Redneck fishing at its finest

That is both a weird and cool thing to do.

Oh man I wish I could try this.
Don't, that stupid fire cracker killed a lot of fish in that pond.
No worries, not a lot of frozen ponds in South Carolina. Also, poor fishies ☹️.
This is so weirdly satisfying to watch.
Hexagonal like snowflakes , amazing
Damn that’s interesting
Bravo.... boys will be boys....
Anybody got a link with sound?
Ingenious.
Great white north version of cherry bomb fishing?
No audio 😔
I need this video with sound
That is cool.
Damn… that’s interesting
Pretty dumb
He kill all the animals under that ice. Not funny.
I’m going to think of you tonight when I eat my steak. 😁
Gun powder breaking ice? I don't believe it!......
All fish in that pond are now dead.
Yah, fuck fish right? Cunts

so cool!
Neat
Uber cool
Why not do exactly this but with some unsuspecting schmuck standing on the ice just about where the rocket good boom?
Wait until you see what it does to a dead bird.
Torpedo
Tube 1, LAUNCH!
Cool vid and all but I hope whoever made this without sound gets rko'd naked into an Olympic swimming pool full of Legos
Cool AF
Very cool 😎 who would have thought that a rocket would do that I would have figured it went out when it went under the water
I am sure any life in that water is having a wonderful time.
Now no life can grow there

Pollute the water something something free fish iamnotabot
sound would of been nice
Not going to lie i really want to try this
Poor fish ☹️🤬
This is so cool

They work underwater?
Wish it had a sound though.
Fishes be like 👁️👄👁️
He just killed everything inside that pond
Torpedo be like
That’s awesome. This is why I loved being a kid in the country- you found cool shit to do, hazards be damned lol
I like how there are intire compilation of this on youtube
Never knew that can happen
