Freezing pipes & soda can science demonstration // Homemade Science with Bruce Yeany

The physical change of water to ice can exert a tremendous amount of force during the freezing process, somewhere in the range of 30,000 pounds per square inch. That's 15 tons, wonder water pipe don't stand a chance when they freeze. A few metal pipes,fittings and soda cans are put to the test to see if they can withstand the powerful forces produced during this change (they can't).
