He had designed a building whose windowsills accumulated snow in bad weather. Worried about a passer-by being engulfed by a sudden avalanche and suing, he had installed heaters on the windowsills.
Consequently meltwater was dripping off the sill and forming enormous icicles that loomed dagger-like overhead. The architect was still worried, and with good reason.
Falling icicles reportedly killed five and injured in St Petersburg, Russia, last winter. Fortunately, Morris understands icicles. There is more at stake with icicles than just the risk of an impaling. In January , an ice storm destroyed much of the power infrastructure in the Canadian province of Quebec. Pylons buckled under the weight of the ice and some power lines snapped, leaving millions of homes and businesses without electricity for days.
Inside the box a downward-pointing wooden spike attached to a turntable rotates at the stately rate of 12 revolutions per hour. This is enough for Morris and his graduate student Antony Chen to strip away layers of assumption about icicles that have accumulated over the years.
Not so, say Morris and Chen. Therefore, I conclude that the ice weapons will melt at some point of the year, reducing their value. Given that you just said that there exists an America potent enough to re-direct the Gulf Stream, I would assume that the entire world isn't a frozen ice mass.
Therefore, there are parts of the world that are not frozen, and possibly still at an advanced civilization level. In that case, why wouldn't Americans trade steel for whatever it is the Europeans have to trade? Steel is cheap, and much better than ice, and one plant probably makes more of the stuff in a day than the entire world made before AD.
Traders from the advanced world would be there to trade much better weapon materials than ice. Joal won't have any customers. Your ice weapons would have to be stored outside of any place that would keep a human alive. So it would melt or be stolen, or be useless when someone comes into your warm place to kill you. People like to keep weapons on them. They like to be able to come into a tavern with a warm fire and still be able to defend themselves should the need arise.
People like to be inside and warm. They aren't all going to be in sleeping bags near a fire in the open, if that's what you picture. We were past that even before Medieval times. Second biggest: as other posters have pointed out ice is not hard enough to be effective, no matter how cold it is.
And, of course, an ice age does not mean things are frozen all the time and never underestimate the power of trade from other areas, as kingledion pointed out. The work around? And this might not fit with the world you are building-- Ice Magic. Basically a way to harden and make permanent ice to fashion into weapons. In no way would it be scientific, and it would, in fact have to be another substance, with a transmutation into the substance you would need.
It cannot be used in front line combat Special throwing knives which melts off after a while, delivering high amounts of dissolved poison higher than you can get by applying on surfaces. Summary: 1. Ice is brittle. It gets more brittle as the temperature increases, even when it's still below the freezing point. Increasing the loading rate of the applied force hitting it with a sharp blow vs.
All of that adds up to a really bad melee weapon. Ice could pierce skin, but you're going to crack it when you hit something hard, like bones or steel blades. Sign up to join this community.
