Summary[edit]

Description

Time lapse movie of a laboratory grown icicle with an almost perfect self-similar shape.

The icicle grows from a rotating support over a period of about 10 hours. The support looks like its rotating fast, but actually takes about 4 minutes per rotation. It was grown from distilled water with gently stirred air. These conditions turn out to favor the ideal shape.
