Does Pressure Melt Ice?
When pressure is applied to ice, its melting point is reduced so it turns to water. When the pressure is removed, however, it turns back into ice. This process is called 'regelation.' Big thanks...

I'm gonna try to demonstrate something called regelation.Which is where you provide a pressure onto iceand that turns it into water but after that pressure is removed it freezes againSo, in order to demonstrate this I've taken apart the high E string from my guitar.I chose the E string because it's thinner than a G string and that's important.And I've weighted it with these two bottles of water.When I apply the string across the ice we should see the wire start to cut through the iceAnd perform the regelation of the ice.where we'll see if it works because we are outside in Sydney and it's warmer than 0°C obviously.All right, it's past 3 A.M. but the experiment has been a successI passed this wire thro...
