It is possible depending on how hot the heat lamp is, and how close it is to the ice cube. However, I advise against it in general, because it doesn't make a clean cut if you want to shape the cube. It's also fairly time consuming.

I advise using a chainsaw or ice saw to cut and shape the ice, then use the lamp to create a smoother edge, if that's what you're looking for.

Does the shape of an ice cube affect how long it takes the ice cube to melt?

Yes, absolutely. Heat transfer from the surrounding environment into the ice cube causes it to melt. The greater the rate of heat transfer INTO to ice cube, the faster it will melt. The greater the surface area of the ice cube, in relation to it size, the faster the melting will occur. The ideal shape for the least heat transfer [and this is true for cold or hot objects] is a SPHERE. A sphere has the minimum surface area for the mass of the object. Any shape other than a sphere has more surface area for the mass, an will melt faster. The thinner more spreak out ice will melt faster melting consumes enerhy inthe form of heat. The amount of energy needed is the proportional of the ice water. The heat applied to it can be radiation or matter. Johnson Kevin, Ohio


Why does an ice cube melt and change shape when its taken out of the freezer?

it gets hot and melt


What is the variable when Melt ice cubes in a mircowave?

shape/size/surface area of the ice cube also the time it is in and the heat settings i think?


How do you melt a ice cube?

Apply heat to quickly melt it, or leave out of the fridge to slowly melt it, or just get a hair dryer and melt it with it.

Can you melt people?

You as a human cannot melt from heat. The worse thing is that you might get burnt. EXP: An ice cube will melt in heat...I don't think you're an ice cube!! :)


Does the shape of an ice cube matters how quickly it meltes?

No, only the mass of the ice and the temperature of its enviorment matters how fast it will melt. Also, both the amount of direct and indirect heat does make a difference to how fast it will melt.


Why does the shape of an ice cube affect how quickly it melts?

if it was a cube ice it wil melt slower and if its long slab will melt faster:)


Does the distance of light affect the time it takes for an ice cube to melt?

No, the distance of light does not affect the time it takes for an ice cube to melt. The time it takes for an ice cube to melt is primarily influenced by factors such as temperature, heat transfer, and the surface area of the ice cube exposed to heat.


Does the shape of an ice cube effect how long it takes the ice cube to melt?

Yes, ice melts from the outside which means the wider surface area, the faster it will melt!
