Crazy experiments

However, there are people out there who are insane enough, have the appropriate equipment or enough free time to be able to carry out these experiments. And they are also kind enough to film and immortalise them for us to watch later.

What did he expect?

One man decided to put the laws of nature to the test in the middle of a frozen lake during a particularly cold winter. He decided to place a whopping 20kg weightdirectly onto the ice, but what happened next is not what you might think!

Have you ever wondered what would happen if a molten metal weight weighing twenty kilos came into contact with the surface of a frozen lake? Would the ice break? That is certainly what you might expect, but the truth is definitely far more surprising...

If you are interested in finding out the incredible result of this seemingly dangerous experiment, check out the video above and prepare to be amazed.
