What is DRY ICE ?

Dry Ice is the common name for solid carbon dioxide (CO2). It gets this name because it does not melt into a liquid when heated; instead, it changes directly into a gas (This process is known as sublimation). As Ireland’s premier dry ice specialist, Polar Ice provides dry ice solutions for a diverse range of customers, in areas such as:
  • Hospitals & Clinics
  • Food Processing & Distribution
  • Industrial Cleaning and Technical Processes
  • Theatrical and Special Effects

What is a Harvest Moon ?

The Harvest Moon is the full Moon nearest the start of fall or the autumnal equinox. This usually means it coincides with the September full Moon, though it can also fall nearer to the October full Moon, occurring anywhere from two weeks before to two weeks after the equinox. In  2017 , the Harvest Moon will rise on  October 5  at 2:40  P.M. EDT. WHY IS IT CALLED THE HARVEST MOON? For several evenings, the moon rise comes soon after sunset. This results in an   abundance of bright moonlight early in the evening , which was a traditional aide to farmers and crews harvesting their summer-grown crops. Hence, it’s called the “Harvest” Moon!

Why is the Sky Blue?

The Sky always appear in Blue color even though we have a variety of other colors- do you know why? It's because  Sunlight reaches Earth's atmosphere and is  scattered  in all directions by all the gases and particles in the air. Blue light is scattered in all directions by the tiny molecules of air in Earth's atmosphere. Blue is scattered more than other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves.  This is why we see blue sky most of the time.

What is Archimedes’ principle ?

Archimedes’ principle states that  any body completely or partially submerged in a  fluid  ( gas  or  liquid ) at rest is acted upon by an upward, or buoyant,  force  the magnitude of which is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body. The volume of displaced fluid is equivalent to the volume of an object fully immersed in a fluid or to that fraction of the volume below the surface for an object partially submerged in a liquid. The weight of the displaced portion of the fluid is equivalent to the magnitude of the buoyant force. The buoyant force on a body floating in a liquid or gas is also equivalent in magnitude to the weight of the floating object and is opposite in direction; the object neither rises nor sinks.  EXAMPLE  -  a ship that is launched sinks into the ocean until the weight of the water it displaces is just equal to its own weight. As the ship is loaded, it sinks deeper, displacing more water, and so t...
