Everyone knows that the higher your altitude (and thus the lower your pressure), the boiling point of water drops (Which is why you can't get a decent cup of tea on an airplane, but I digress).
Anyway, the idea is that you build a bar with an airtight seal around the building, so you can use a giant vacuum pump to reduce the air pressure inside, thus reducing the freezing temperature of water, and allowing drinks at -10°C!-- Alx_xlA, Oct 01 2008 Due to freezing point depression alcoholic solutions can already be cooled well below 0C. Even so I must ask why this is a good idea: After you got over the vestibular issues and nausea you are not likely to want an alcoholic drink cold or otherwise. Airplane cabins are pressurized.-- WcW, Oct 01 2008 //thus reducing the freezing temperature of water, and allowing drinks at -10°C//The freezer where I keep my vodka goes down to -18°C - why would I want to go somewhere else to drink warm vodka?-- AbsintheWithoutLeave, Oct 01 2008 Per Wikipedia "Unlike the boiling point, the melting point is relatively insensitive to pressure because the solid/liquid transition represents only a small change in volume", so how low would the pressure have to be and could human's survive in your bar? Would I get the bends when I walked in? For these reasons, I'm going to have to bone. (-) When I need a beer, I don't want to wait.-- MisterQED, Oct 01 2008 It is time for you to go over your PT graphs. And don't sell any fizzy drinks...-- 4whom, Oct 01 2008 >reduce the air pressure inside
That would be the bar-ometric pressure, surely?-- csea, Oct 01 2008 random, halfbakery
