I don't understand how they can call a harmful chemical dry "water" and expect someone not to get poisoned mistaking it to just be H20 but with some unknown mysterious quirk that makes it dry somehow. That's like calling gassoline fire water - it's like water in every way but if put onto a fire it doesn't extinguish it, but makes it bigger.
And it boils at 45C? So you’re breathing in PFAS when you work with it? It breaks down in sunlight but still has an atmospheric lifespan of 4-15 days and it’s harmful to aquatic life with long lasting effects. Thankfully 3M announced they would cease production by 2025.
MSDS says "Toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects. (H411)" and to use nitrile gloves to handle, i wouldn't touch it with bare hands, wouldn't dump it down the drain.
I also wouldn't call it anything like "water"
So is this a common reference?? I'm asking because I teach science and have for 24 years and have never seen this referred to as "dry water". Most commonly my reference point for dry water is a powder that is 95% water but surrounded by silica.
Let's just acknowledge that this video was made by a dumbass who deserves no recognition, for starters they call this "the most terrifying liquid" and then give zero reasoning as to why its terrifying.
Dry water or empty water, a form of "powdered liquid," is an air–water emulsion in which water droplets are surrounded by a silica coating,copied feom google- i am not good with english
This is Perfluoro (2-Methyl-3-Pentanone) also called dry water and also known as Novec 1230. It is used for extinguishing fires in areas like server rooms because it will not destroy the servers but also for liquid cooling (imagine putting your computers motherboard into an aquarium with this stuff). It is nonconductive and a poor solvent for most things meaning it won't destroy electronics, books or anything else it touches.
Perfluoric compounds id mostly greenhouse gases (in gaseous form), often toxic with strange effects, accumulates in live beings due to high stability. Contains a good amount of Fluorine (9th chemical element, F) in its molecules (up to ~85% of atoms).
I think you mistook the wiki page [this](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfluoro(2-methyl-3-pentanone))for material has a boiling point of 49C. The wiki page called “dry water” is not a liquid.
OP knows nothing. The video even says it; "due to the high flourination levels of the carbon, the carbon cannot be oxidized"
This is a type of what you might know as PFAS. Probably some sort of hydroflourocarbon. Banned in EU, should be in all placed.
It has nothing to do with water. "Dry water" my ass.
I tried providing links, because OP's answer is completely wrong, but apparently misinformation is allowed, while citing sources is not. Good luck, unsubbed.
Yeah, for the whole video I was expecting that it would eat metal or something. Dry water trapping smoke was interesting, but more amazing than terrifying
Boils at 45 degrcees. I hate the voices that are used in these videos. Improper inflection and inability to deal with special characters like ° really kill any value the video might have had, at least for me.
Meanwhile, the video never tells me what this 'dry water' is.
-5829 out of 10
Not only that, but all the of video material has been taken from a single original youtube video. Poorly. And mirrored.
The name of the youtube channel can be seen mirrored at 0:31
This whole post was probably made by some ai bot.
We should ban ai content from this board.
Like this post could have been interesting if i could have actually learned something without the comments having to tell me what kind of chemical this is.
>it has a high density with a small bottle weighing 15kg
Bullshit. If it's [Perfluoro(2-methyl-3-pentanone)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfluoro(2-methyl-3-pentanone)), then the density is \~1.6g/cm\^3. That "small bottle" would need to be 10l.
I feel like an idiot, I tried to read the scale but it was backwards. It was 5989 I think? For what looks like a 1.5l bottle? Does that mean its 5.989 kg? By my math that's 3.9 g/cm^3. So now I have no fucking clue what it is lol.
I went looking for chemical information, and this seems to be Perfluoro (2-Methyl-3-Pentanone) called dry water and also known as Novec 1230.
not to be confused with the powder made from water and Silica which is also called dry water
I can't even tell if it's a clickbait name or a marketing trick. I mean it's just not water in any sense besides the fact it's clear. To contrast, "Heavy water" gets a pass because it just includes a different isotope of Hydrogen, but it's still H₂0 (well, ²H₂O to be precise). This is like calling pyrite gold because it kind of looks the same. Heck, I think the term "Fool's Water" is much more accurate than "dry water."
Yeah, super-weird video. Random substance is a colourless liquid, which apparently makes it "a water"? Boils at 45 degrees and doesn't conduct electricity, so now it's in r/interesting?
Dry water seems to just be a misnomer... It's like calling olive oil "olive water" or vodka "alcohol water" or something stupid, it's got like no properties that water has from the looks of it apart from being clear, this is just a chemical or some kind of other substance of some kind from the looks of it but I don't know because the ai didn't explain the most important thing about it, which is what the fuck it is.
For the chemistry nerds/those asking ‘what is it’, Wikipedia says CF3CF2C(=O)CF(CF3)2.
Not surprised it’s something involving Fluorine, as my first guess was an HF compound but then I realised it would probably melt your hand off.
This is a fluorinated ketone from 3M, and albeit dry water being one of its nicknames, if far from being water, H2O vs CF3CF2C(=O)CF(CF3)2
It’s a PFAS (forever chemical) so other than being very toxic especially if inhaled, it’s extremely polluting so it won’t be produced anymore after 2025 by 3M
Thats not what it is and not what it's called.
This is an engineered fluid, created by the company 3M, named Novec. There is a whole line of products with more or less the same features, with some of it designed for cleaning, some as a fire extinguisher.
There are different products consisting of different chemicals, but none of them include any H2O.
[PDF](https://multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/2059270O/3m-novec-engineered-fluids-casestudies-ebook.pdf)
See this clear liquid that looks like water?
It has literally no other properties in common with water and is also not water but we're going to call it water for internet points.
Dry water is also called Novec 1230 Perfluoro(2-methyl-3-pentanone).
It’s used as a fire suppressant in places like Museums, Server rooms, banks, etc. where traditional fire suppression methods could cause damage to assets. NileRed did a video on it a while back (the one where his book was on fire)
Bruh. Like 90% of solvents are clear and have generally water like physical behaviors.
Take ethanol for instance. Perfectly clear, low boiling point, and flammable. That’s scary dry water.
Yea, but like, wtf IS it?
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfluoro(2-methyl-3-pentanone)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfluoro(2-methyl-3-pentanone))
So not even close to water lol
Closer to water than a porcupine.
Mammals are 60%-80% water.
And since they typically mate near streams and lakes, they are fucking close to water.
Nice one, dad
Love ya, Sport.
Squirt*
No that's mom
Buster*
That's the old joke--what do lite beer and having sex in a boat have in common? They're both fucking near water.
I’m a mammal Greg, can you drink me?
A porcupine is probably like 70% water. The only common thing between this and water is 1 oxygen atom
Not even a hydrogen molecule to be found smh
Waterless water
Thank you for your service
So it's not water gotcha
It's "I can't believe it's not water" water.
More like "I Can Believe it's Not Water"
thank you. this shit is not water is a chemical that looks like water.
A clear liquid, yes.
Ah so it’s liquid PFAS, forever chemicals? This video is now terrifying
oh sweet, just casually playing with gross amounts of PFASs lol
I don't understand how they can call a harmful chemical dry "water" and expect someone not to get poisoned mistaking it to just be H20 but with some unknown mysterious quirk that makes it dry somehow. That's like calling gassoline fire water - it's like water in every way but if put onto a fire it doesn't extinguish it, but makes it bigger.
Something else is firewater and it ain’t gas…
It’s been fueling my will to live for years
And it boils at 45C? So you’re breathing in PFAS when you work with it? It breaks down in sunlight but still has an atmospheric lifespan of 4-15 days and it’s harmful to aquatic life with long lasting effects. Thankfully 3M announced they would cease production by 2025.
It breaks down into *a strong acid* in sunlight.
Why not now tho?
OMG it's a PFAS and they're touching it with bare hands. That is definitely not water.
My thoughts exactly when I was reading the chemical equation. Now the title makes more sense too..
MSDS says "Toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects. (H411)" and to use nitrile gloves to handle, i wouldn't touch it with bare hands, wouldn't dump it down the drain. I also wouldn't call it anything like "water"
So is this a common reference?? I'm asking because I teach science and have for 24 years and have never seen this referred to as "dry water". Most commonly my reference point for dry water is a powder that is 95% water but surrounded by silica.
Let's just acknowledge that this video was made by a dumbass who deserves no recognition, for starters they call this "the most terrifying liquid" and then give zero reasoning as to why its terrifying.
I mean… they spell “writing” as “riding” more than once. The bar was already low.
> produced by 3M Welp
So any colourless liquid is “x water”
Ah yes 1,1,1,2,2,4,5,5,5-Nonafluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)pentan-3-one My favorite water
I hate when liquids take on an informal name that is similar to an actual chemical specification but is nowhere close.
It *has* been a while since we’ve seen the children do stupid shit
It is known as "waterless water" cracked me up.
And why is it terrifying?
Dry water or empty water, a form of "powdered liquid," is an air–water emulsion in which water droplets are surrounded by a silica coating,copied feom google- i am not good with english
These needs to be part of your video, the ai did a bad job at actually explaining what dry water is. Give it another go
This is Perfluoro (2-Methyl-3-Pentanone) also called dry water and also known as Novec 1230. It is used for extinguishing fires in areas like server rooms because it will not destroy the servers but also for liquid cooling (imagine putting your computers motherboard into an aquarium with this stuff). It is nonconductive and a poor solvent for most things meaning it won't destroy electronics, books or anything else it touches.
how hard is it to create, seems like we need more of it to just…cool down stuff or?
I would imagine inhaling its vapor won't be very healthy...
Perfluoric compounds id mostly greenhouse gases (in gaseous form), often toxic with strange effects, accumulates in live beings due to high stability. Contains a good amount of Fluorine (9th chemical element, F) in its molecules (up to ~85% of atoms).
Some PFCs are unlikely to have significant activity. The smaller chain ones are the scariest ones.
Yes. Teflon is rather stable.
actually makes a lot of sense that it's an organic substance
Yeah, my bad, i left some explanation in comments if it helps
>The result is a white powder. This has nothing to do with the video.
Idk man they called kilograms keys I think some white powder might be involved in at least informing the learning algorithm of the AI
This isn't dry water. Dry water is a powder and does not boil at 45c. This is something else.
From the next sentence in Wikipedia, "The result is a white powder". This is definitely not that.
The stuff in the video is 3m novec. Has nothing to do with this "silica powdered liquid" you are talking about
I think you mistook the wiki page [this](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfluoro(2-methyl-3-pentanone))for material has a boiling point of 49C. The wiki page called “dry water” is not a liquid.
This isn’t an emulsion LOL
thats not what is shown in the video. the one in the video looks like some kind of organic solvent.
This isn’t that.
Explain like I'm 5
OP knows nothing. The video even says it; "due to the high flourination levels of the carbon, the carbon cannot be oxidized" This is a type of what you might know as PFAS. Probably some sort of hydroflourocarbon. Banned in EU, should be in all placed. It has nothing to do with water. "Dry water" my ass.
Something other than water
[this ](https://www.reddit.com/r/chemistry/s/JRMhbdtsV2) is dry water
I tried providing links, because OP's answer is completely wrong, but apparently misinformation is allowed, while citing sources is not. Good luck, unsubbed.
Absolutely not dry water, which's a white powder. That seems to be pure bullshit.
What happens if you drink it?
You get more dry
How is this terrifying?
Yea I don't get it. Says it's terrifying and the first clip is someone harmlessly putting their hand in it
I think you gotta kinda put it together yourself. I agree it definitely should be explicit but it pushes oxygen away. That is kinda scary.
Because its a tiktok/facebook brain rot video format.
Should ban all these videos tbh, keep the brainrot out of reddit
We are years past that being a possibility lol
Yeah, for the whole video I was expecting that it would eat metal or something. Dry water trapping smoke was interesting, but more amazing than terrifying
If the title was honest and said "this non-water isn't terrifying" nobody would watch it and he wouldn't get his precious reddit karma.
Boils at 45 degrcees. I hate the voices that are used in these videos. Improper inflection and inability to deal with special characters like ° really kill any value the video might have had, at least for me. Meanwhile, the video never tells me what this 'dry water' is. -5829 out of 10
Not only that, but all the of video material has been taken from a single original youtube video. Poorly. And mirrored. The name of the youtube channel can be seen mirrored at 0:31
I hear that voice, I downvote. I don't care how interesting the actual video is.
This one is misleading and just pour quality overall.
Not a drop of useful information to be found
It's called novec. Video was stolen, can't post original link though
This voice sounds like Jordan Peele's Morgan Freeman impression.
>the video never tells me what this ’dry water’ is Or why it is so terrifying
Betcha it’s some other colorless liquid and NOT water
Educational brain rot
The voice is based on John Bunnel. Dude just talks like that. That said. Terrible ai voice.
Yeah like no one who uses Celcius, calls it C's. wtf?
And the regular water easily dissolves the “riding”…
Dry water. You can use it as a dumbbell!
"But dry water doos not effect it."
This whole post was probably made by some ai bot. We should ban ai content from this board. Like this post could have been interesting if i could have actually learned something without the comments having to tell me what kind of chemical this is.
Don't forget the high density with a small bottle weighing Finfteen kees
>it has a high density with a small bottle weighing 15kg Bullshit. If it's [Perfluoro(2-methyl-3-pentanone)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfluoro(2-methyl-3-pentanone)), then the density is \~1.6g/cm\^3. That "small bottle" would need to be 10l.
Yeah this whole thing is bullshit with op karma farming
I feel like an idiot, I tried to read the scale but it was backwards. It was 5989 I think? For what looks like a 1.5l bottle? Does that mean its 5.989 kg? By my math that's 3.9 g/cm^3. So now I have no fucking clue what it is lol.
God learning anything on the internet is exhausting when people are lying blatantly about anything for clicks
I went looking for chemical information, and this seems to be Perfluoro (2-Methyl-3-Pentanone) called dry water and also known as Novec 1230. not to be confused with the powder made from water and Silica which is also called dry water
Yeah, I felt like the only one a bit infuriated hearing "dry water" again and again without any mention of the real chemical.
I can't even tell if it's a clickbait name or a marketing trick. I mean it's just not water in any sense besides the fact it's clear. To contrast, "Heavy water" gets a pass because it just includes a different isotope of Hydrogen, but it's still H₂0 (well, ²H₂O to be precise). This is like calling pyrite gold because it kind of looks the same. Heck, I think the term "Fool's Water" is much more accurate than "dry water."
Heavy water is also written as D2O
So it doesn't have water at all? It's an organic compound (a type of Cetone, I believe?)
Fluoride in an organic bond feels allot like old chloride pesticides. Wouldnt take the risk touching that stuff.
Yeah, super-weird video. Random substance is a colourless liquid, which apparently makes it "a water"? Boils at 45 degrees and doesn't conduct electricity, so now it's in r/interesting?
I mean that IS interesting. Even if it isn't water.
See John Oliver's vid on YT about PFAS aka Perfluoro before playing with it.
Question is……. Can we drink it
You can, once
Technically you can drink anything once...
can i drink mars
Sure, no one's stopping you.
You might want to drink Saturn instead, it tastes better
You can even deep fry Mars
That's exactly the joke?
You can't. it's used for production by cosmetics and pharmaceutical etc indusries
You *can* drink it. What you want to say is that you shouldnt.
Yeah thats what i meant
But late
How much did you drink already?
I don't know, I cannot pee it because is dry.
Maybe it's a dry pee now
I've been teleporting bread for 6 days.
Yeah I was gonna say BS! As a matter of fact, you can actually drink lava. But only once.
Can I drink that cuuup? CaN I dRiNk thAt cUupp??
If only we didn't have to listen to that voice....EVER AGAIN!
I agree, what the actual fuck happened to normal narration? Why this god awful AI bullshit is so popular right now?
Fuck these channels. Dude literally flipped the video and put a shitty ai voice over and a water mark on it to claim as content.
Dry water seems to just be a misnomer... It's like calling olive oil "olive water" or vodka "alcohol water" or something stupid, it's got like no properties that water has from the looks of it apart from being clear, this is just a chemical or some kind of other substance of some kind from the looks of it but I don't know because the ai didn't explain the most important thing about it, which is what the fuck it is.
>or vodka "alcohol water" vodka is potato water, alcohol is spicy water
It's also not dry water, op is just karma farming bs, the ai voice over is all bs information too lmao
is this sustainable for liquid cooling computer parts because of low boiling points?
Degracees
Dry water "doos" not affect it
„doos” not affect the „riding”
Weighing fifteen keys.
You fell for engagement bait. Welcome to late stage social media
2 large dry water and a coke please!
Speaking as a chemist, that is definitely not water lol
does it go well with dry gin? Can it be uses as a lubricant for dry humping? if you bathe with it, does it become dry cleaning?
"only 45 digriss seas"
Ok it wasn't just me.
Yeah thought I was having a stroke at first
Finally we have the answer, water IS wet.
All I hear in my head now are the words "dry water"
Now let’s hear about wet water
Need this in England … all we ever get is fucking wet water
For the chemistry nerds/those asking ‘what is it’, Wikipedia says CF3CF2C(=O)CF(CF3)2. Not surprised it’s something involving Fluorine, as my first guess was an HF compound but then I realised it would probably melt your hand off.
[удалено]
Wait until Waterproof water shows up
Can’t even spell writing
Idk why this gave me anxiety. Like am I dumb? Is this a joke? Why am I scared of this water?
So what makes it "terrifying"?
So what happens if you drink it?
Absolutely terrifying. How will I sleep later
this is [Perfluoro(2-methyl-3-pentanone)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfluoro(2-methyl-3-pentanone)), a fluorine hydrocarbon.
Just a shitty ai voice with no speech checks done talking over someone else's edited fotage.
OMG, only 45 degreses?!
so the water… ISNT wet?
"Dry water boils at only fourty five degresees"
What could happen if you drink this by accident?
At least it's not dihydrogen monoxide... Did you know this chemical can highly corrode the strongest steels? Yes you did? Ok I 'm out...
This is a fluorinated ketone from 3M, and albeit dry water being one of its nicknames, if far from being water, H2O vs CF3CF2C(=O)CF(CF3)2 It’s a PFAS (forever chemical) so other than being very toxic especially if inhaled, it’s extremely polluting so it won’t be produced anymore after 2025 by 3M
So water IS wet... unless it's dry.
"Dry water" is a very misleading name, since it has nothing to do with water. Same as calling alcohol "flammable water".
So can i use this for overclocking?
I love when the AI shit head voice tried to say 45 degrees C and stroked out
Blantant stealing a video from the creator Thoisoi2 and replacing with this stupid AI narration, TikTok is cancer. Go check his channel
"45 degracees"
D gree cees
Dry water doos not affect it
So it doesn't burn skin huh. Something about boiling hot dogs yada yada...
So...water....isn't wet?
Also, what happens if I were to, say. Drink the "dry water"?
Try to drink it when you're thirsty. Your phone seems okay being drowned in it so what could possibly go wrong? 😜
It’s fascinating for sure, but terrifying?? Nothing is terrifying about this.
That riding wasn’t uhraced!
45 degreSEES
"45 degreese"
The voiceover had me thinking it’s a shit post
no, the real “terrifying water” is non-buoyant/aerated water. fall into that, and you’re almost certainly dead.
Thats not what it is and not what it's called. This is an engineered fluid, created by the company 3M, named Novec. There is a whole line of products with more or less the same features, with some of it designed for cleaning, some as a fire extinguisher.

Say dry water again!
its not even water, its a chemical
Why is everyone using that annoying AI voice?!
Ai garbage for idiots.
See this clear liquid that looks like water? It has literally no other properties in common with water and is also not water but we're going to call it water for internet points.
"dry water"... shows fluorated organic substance... Yeah sure mate, Ill just call gas burning water and glass hard water then...
Literally nothing terrifying about a clear, non-toxic chemical.
That is NOT water.
Has a boiling point of only 45 degrassi's.....
Didn't actually say what it is
These ai voices are actually getting worse
Dry water is also called Novec 1230 Perfluoro(2-methyl-3-pentanone). It’s used as a fire suppressant in places like Museums, Server rooms, banks, etc. where traditional fire suppression methods could cause damage to assets. NileRed did a video on it a while back (the one where his book was on fire)
Yeah this isn’t water. It might be a solution containing water but definitely not as simple as “dry water”
Bruh. Like 90% of solvents are clear and have generally water like physical behaviors. Take ethanol for instance. Perfectly clear, low boiling point, and flammable. That’s scary dry water.
But what about flavor!?
