I'm going to go make a bunch of these and fire them with my water balloon launcher

[vishalapr]

Ouch wouldn't wanna be hit by one of those!

[junits15]

XD XD cool! maybe make some smaller ones and put them in a potatoe cannon!

[imshanedulong]

OUCH!!

[punkmonkey123]

Not only is that "ouch," but that could also kill, considering an ice ball would probably be as hard as a typical rock.

[computergeek]

Seriously!

me and my brother would makes these all the time and put the on our trampoline! sometimes even break them into little pieces and it hurt but it was very fun!!! you would have to try to not get hit by them! you could also play my version of poison ivy on the trampoline with these!

instead of boiling or filtering like everyone else says, just use de-ionized (distilled) water. no contaminants to fog the ice.

[imshanedulong]

Cool! That could work!

[mitchell12]

Yep boiling and filtering the water would make it much clearer I might give it a try like that.

[imshanedulong]

Thanks for reminding me I was gonna mention boiling! although, it may melt rubber.

[tubbychick3n]

after boiling it, you're supposed to let it cool off after.

[mitchell12]

I assumed that was obvious but I guess not.

[tubbychick3n]

yeah it was obvious to me. i guess not him.

[Weissensteinburg]

...don't put this in your lunch. Unless you want a puddle of water, of course.

[imshanedulong]

I meant leave it in the balloon!

[Weissensteinburg]

i think you should re-name this instructable "how to freeze a water balloon"

[imshanedulong]

To Simple. Plus it gives it away.

[arne hendriks]

I like it. Lots of creative things you can do with this.

[alex-sharetskiy]

if you boil the water twice, it should be close to crystal-clear
