Regelation

These philosophers have discovered that when ice is subjected to great pressure it melts, and that, when the pressure is removed, the part so melted immediately freezes again -- hence the name regelation, or re-freezing, is given to the process. ❋ Unknown (1859)

There were also differences because the alternative media were prepared to defy press restrictions while the mainstream newspapers, despite their power, continued to support shameful special agreements with the South African police, the SADF, the South African Department of Prisons - a regime of rigorous self censorship that protected the Pretoria Government against regelation of its worst excesses. ❋ Unknown (1992)

When a piece of ice of considerable size comes in contact under water with ice or other substance, it would usually touch in an area very small in proportion to its mass, and other forces acting upon it, and tending to move it, would usually exceed the freezing force, and regelation would not take place. ❋ Various (N/A)

In the minute needles formed at the surface of the water the tendency to adhere would be much the same as in larger masses touching at points only, while the external forces acting upon them would be extremely small in proportion, and regelation would often occur, and of the immense number of the needles of ice formed at the surface enough would adhere to produce the effect which we observe and call anchor ice. ❋ Various (N/A)

If it be contended that ice at 32° does break, and that therefore the whole mass of the glacier may break at that temperature, setting aside the contradiction to the facts of regelation which such an assumption involves, I would refer to Dr. Tyndall's experiments concerning the vacuous spots in the ice. ❋ Various (N/A)

Faraday concerning regelation, and the application of the facts made known by the great English physicist to the theory of the glaciers, as first presented by Dr. Tyndall in his admirable work, show that fragments of ice with most surfaces are readily reunited under pressure into a solid mass. ❋ Various (N/A)

I think, is a satisfactory explanation of the manner in which the ice formed at the surface finds its way to the bottom; its adherence to the bottom, I think, is explained by the phenomenon of _regelation_, first observed by Faraday; he found that when the wetted surfaces of two pieces of ice were pressed together they froze together, and that this took place under water even when above the freezing point. ❋ Various (N/A)

I question, however, the statement, that regelation takes place ❋ Various (N/A)

We know that at 32° Fahrenheit, regelation renders the mass continuous, and that it becomes brittle only at a temperature below this. ❋ Various (N/A)

Faraday, who discovered this property, called it the regelation of ice; the explanation of this phenomenon has been much controverted; I have detailed to you that which I consider most satisfactory. ❋ Unknown (1909)

THE THEORY of the regelation of ice has led to scientific discussions between Faraday and Tyndall on the one hand, and James and Sir W. Thomson on the other. ❋ Unknown (1909)

In Faraday’s explanation, according to which regelation is due to a contact action of ice and water, I find a theoretical difficulty. ❋ Unknown (1909)

If then part of the fissure at first formed is closed by regelation, the fissure can extend in the opposite direction without the continuity of the block being at any time disturbed. ❋ Unknown (1909)

Hence, I doubt not that Tyndall has discovered the essential and principal cause of the motion of glaciers, in referring it to the formation of cracks and to regelation. ❋ Unknown (1909)

The one refers it mainly to regelation; the other to a real viscosity of the ice. ❋ John Joly (1895)

But a little further down the wound is healed again, and regelation has restored the smooth surface of the glacier. ❋ John Joly (1895)

I have already made the usual regelation experiment before you when I compressed broken ice in this mould. ❋ John Joly (1895)

In fact, regelation will confer upon it all the appearance of viscosity. ❋ John Joly (1895)

Then again, what I have described as 'intrusive layers of blue ice' was a remarkable feature; one could imagine that these layers represent surfaces which have been transformed by regelation under hot sun and wind. ❋ Robert Falcon Scott (1890)
