It's the flooding problem most of all. I'm in one of the few Manhattan co-ops that still allows washing machines and dryers and it's a wonderful thing to have it in my apartment. But many landlords, co-op board and condos don't permit them because of the flooding.
A couple of my friends and I made hot ice for our school science fair. We used sodium acetate. This project won first place at my schools science fair!!! Materials: Stove. Pot. A spoon. A glass cup. and Sodium acetate (you can find it online or in certain heat packs). How to do it: You heat water in a pot and put the sodium acetate in the water.
1 If youâd rather make a batch yourself, skip down to the section detailing the Homemade Sodium Acetate Method. 2  Note that homemade sodium acetate will result in slower, dirtier-colored hot ice -- or even fail to produce hot ice if made incorrectly.his step is optional, but in case you want a better container in which to view the hot ice formation, here's your chance. 6. Touch the solution with a bit of the solid sodium acetate on a toothpick. The solution should turn into a solid as soon as it is touched.
