Liquid Oxygen

[weilwen]

Niceeeee

[mbhockey97]

trojan fire and ice: the secret is finally revealed!

[HiddenFacedMatt]

It seems strange that the transition from liquid oxygen temperatures to fire temperatures didn't break the glass...

[shoan501]

kidz....... Don't try this home...

[Koroistro]

LOX + LHY -> boom =3

[showingpig01]

so if you were to cool it even more could you theoretically make a solid block of pure oxygen?

[LowLevelHellProject]

@showingpig01 When taken to cold enough temperatures, with high enough pressures, oxygen will take on a variety of solid forms, with various crystal structures and properties. You can read short descriptions of them on Wikipedia- just google "solid oxygen." Red oxygen is some really interesting stuff.

[codyme5]

that was very interesting and is there anyway to do something with oxygen to put it in a more concentrated level so you could possibly breathe in the oxygen and then be able to be under water for ages? and plz include the fact that O2 at a high concentrate is highly toxic.

[zerotankor]

Can you drown in liquid oxygen? :P

[MegaRAMHarddisk]

@zerotankor you would freeze to death but thats a good question o.o

[TheGoldisfun]

NICE ITS SO KWEL!!!!!!!!!!! its also epic aclerting the wood burning is awsome its also used in rockets for when gas burns and oxygen liquid let it burn faster and stronger! nice tho!

[Kindiakan]

Best firebending ever

[ihavekankles]

@halloforigin

No I don't think it would boil instantly...

[ihavekankles]

@halloforigin

It did evaporate. Does your water boil instantly? No, it takes time.

[ihavekankles]

@halloforigin

Wait.. you're so dumb that doesn't even warrant a response.

[ihavekankles]

@halloforigin

So? That's not even what you were talking about. You were wondering if it was turned into oxygen gas, I'm telling you it did. Please, you're probably 15.

[ihavekankles]

@halloforigin

How do you know it didn't? You can't see, it seems much more logical to assume that it does.

[ihavekankles]

@halloforigin

OK bro, here's an idea. It does.

[jackwach]

could i swallow that stuff??

[Chaoticbravo]

Working around cryogenic gasses without gloves? Damn dude ur hardcore.

[Chaoticbravo]

@halloforigin (ihavekankles' comment translated from asshole to English) As the video stated, lox boils at -183 C, meaning it would be impossible for oxygen to stay in liquid form as you approach room temperature.

[mjnelson91]

@Chaoticbravo Well, it's possible to get liquid oxygen at room temperature, it's just that it takes about 50 atmospheres of pressure and it isn't technically pure liquid (although, neither it is technically pure gas). Yeah, picky picky picky, but whatever :P

[Chaoticbravo]

@mjnelson91 50? I thought it was like 400 some o-o.

[ihavekankles]

@halloforigin

yeah it's called a gas you retard, you're breathing it right now. Fuck.

[GWEyaster]

amazing

[mewrox99]

nice demo

[creamyfilling102]

screw putting NOS into a car. just buy a tank of liquid oxygen. that'll do the trick.

[mjnelson91]

@halloforigin The oxygen was in the process of evaporating, but nothing happens instantly

[dizekat]

are you not afraid that some of the charcoal would fall, soak in liquid oxygen, and then explode?

[MysticalFlyingMonkey]

I <3 Science. :)

[criticaboutvids]

So is the oxygen feeding the fire even in a liquid form?

[mjnelson91]

@criticaboutvids Yes. Most people think of liquid as water, but instead just think of it as pure oxygen (cause that's what it is :P ). Water smothers the fire, depriving it of the oxygen that it needs to continue the reaction, whereas liquid oxygen is pure oxygen, which only feeds the fire more. Even though it is much colder than oxygen in the air, therefore requiring more energy to react with the wood, the fact that it is 100% oxygen makes the flame burn brighter and hotter.

[ZakeirSnake]

@mjnelson91 So, oxygen, in its purest form, is a liquid? My science teacher lied to me D: Or is it just that the process used to collect the oxygen caused it to liquify?

[WhynotMiha]

@ZakeirSnake No. There is no purest form. I think he ment that it's hard to have oxygen gas with no other compounds in it.

[ZakeirSnake]

@WhynotMiha Ah thank you :)

[jeffmendolo]

@criticaboutvids No, liquids as a general guideline do not burn, it is the small amount of gaseous oxygen above the liquid which is doing the burning.

[criticaboutvids]

@jeffmendolo I didn't ask if the liquid was burning. I asked if the liquid oxygen was feeding the fire as oxygen in the air would.

[alienizedgodzilla]

can you make instant ice cream like liquid nitrogen or is it not safe

[FastFerrari82]

omg..its a first no Trinity playin in the background

[penguinlogo]

then how do u make liquid nitrogen lol

[XlopenX]

@penguinlogo freeze nitrogen gas to around -192 degrees celcius

[FunnyAzns]

THis is Sick

[Arensx]

im gonna do this for a project in my school thanks for the vid (LIKE)

[mecidlo]

You can put a cigar (soppied by Oxygen) into toy train on railroad. And then burn, you'll see a high-speed train :D

[sepie]

wow... that looks like plasma

[vkallavin]

@atsagrl Don't be stupid stfhu

[joedude967]

can you like.. inhale that liquid? oxygen

[mjnelson91]

@joedude967 Well you could, but you would literally freeze your mouth/ nose, throat, esophogus, wind pipe, lungs, and pretty much everything that the liquid oxygen touched, so good luck with that!

[joedude967]

@mjnelson91 uhh.. heh, no thanks xD

[ClubPenguinMan1000]

@mjnelson91 ouch!

[Hallucination01]

@mjnelson91 LOL

[Koroistro]

@mjnelson91 not really , it will just istantly evaporate (leinfrost effect or similar) but since it's 22,4 liters(gas) for 40 milliliters (liquid) it will blow up your lungs =D

[kirbyroks]

@joedude967 You could, but inhaling the gasses would freeze/burn your mouth and throat and touching the liquid itself would cause that part of your body to be violently burned.

[joedude967]

@kirbyroks yummy.

[Frresh123]

I think i need some liquid nitrogen now :D

[felixmob22]

dumb ass



[felixmob22]

domb ass

[notessimodude]

Could you stick a straw into a bowl of it and breathe it in...?

[izurz]

wat would happen if you get it on your skin. 

[petersplim]

Fantastic vid. Great effort

[sharethispoison7]

What's that background song?

[randomdude3824]

Imagine this for cars :) Replace that N2O w/ O2 and u'll get 120 miles to the gallon for five seconds lol

[skyarsalan]

lol drink it

[anooseface]

can you tell me what the song is ??

[Grundalizer]

@anooseface Sittin on Grandpa's Knee down by the old Riverbank by Humphrey McDoogletown

[rhyzx]

so cool yet so dangerous, like everything that is cool.

[DazmoTube]

liquid oxygen is awesome

[roboticmehdi]

where can i find a dewar flask to keep liquid oxygen just for 5-6hours? please suggest cheap ones.

[prodigious08]

i am thinking to mix it with petrol on my car.

[intheshitter]

lol

[prodigious08]

i am serious man. i am not kidding. i am thinking to sprinkle the tube of air with liquid oxygen. no need for bullshit turbochargers or superchargers. right???

[intheshitter]

Well, there is a system available and its called Nitrous Oxide (nos) that stuffs a whole bunch of oxygen in the engine. The Nitrogen is only there to keep the oxygen stable.

As far as I know, its illegal to drive around with a NOS system connected.

[prodigious08]

i am thinking to sprinkle just a litle liquid oxygen. but i know it is dangereus if it is a homemade system.

[kissassparty]

@intheshitter that nitro to make flame come out of ur tail pipe and give you a boost and yes it is illegal but i dont know how ppl get itt.

[JayCeeEss1337]

Can't compress oxygen that much - not very dense as a liquid, can't run an engine for long enough.

[foothand123]

NOM NOM NOM!

[jdills1196]

the military uses some sort of oxygen chemical like this, its liquid but its not that cold. You can breathe it :D

[Kikesurf1]

They use liquid oxygen (LOX), at least on F-16's, I have to refill the LOX converters and its alot of fun.

[jdills1196]

You work for USAF?

[Kikesurf1]

yep

[jdills1196]

wow. well when I turn 18 I was thinking about joining USAF

[Kikesurf1]

It will be a good choice, I mean, right now i live in Japan, and they pay for everything, it sucks at times but it is still awsome

[platinumm8]

you can die from oxygen poisoning if you breathe pure oxygen.

[jdills1196]

Yes, I know. My mom is a nurse ;)

[platinumm8]

ic, my friends mom is a nurse, and its not very fun becasue she is all paranoid about himand i going to the hospital becasue of chemical burns or exploded body parts, so she never lets us do anything fun chemistry wise =P

[radyrhodesthebest]

have fun with your Meth lab...

[petersplim]

Do you think we can make liquid chlorine or fluorine by this method or any other gases that have both melting points and boiling points above -196 degrees C?

[Hismathefirst]

I guess a balloon wont withstand neigher chlorine nor fluorine

[wattapassa]

you can make liquid chlorine by passing chlorine gas through a mixture of dry ice and acetone, through a glass tube. its boiling point isnt too low, its like -40, i think. no idea about flourine. wouldnt try it though. its pretty damn reactive when its a gas already

[Hismathefirst]

Hab noch nicht mit Fluor gearbeitet bin ehrlich gesagt auch nicht scharf drauf.Chlor ja irgendwas war da mal im 2. oder 3. Semester aber halt gasförmig wüsste jetzt spontan auch nicht wofür man flüssig-Chlor so benutzt.Wenn man kein Labor zur Verfügung hat sollte man eh lieber die Finger davon lassenbevor man den Löffel abgibt.Man kann auch Diethylether anstatt Propanon nehmen wird meines Wissens nach noch kälter um -100 glaub ich.

[wattapassa]

naja, fluessigchlor ist oxidierend, aehnlich wie LOX. aber stimmt, diethyl ether kannste auch benutzen, wuerd ich aber nicht empfiehlen, denn hat ja sowieso schon ne ziemliche tiefe siede temperature. meinesachtens benutzt man propanon grade weil es nicht vor -100 grad friert, kannste ja auch ispropanol, benutzen. ich wuerde ja halt nicht so gerne ether dampf und chlorgas mischungen haben [: mein deutsch ist nicht so gut

[floop12]

Can you drink this?

[techmaster96]

yes, but it hurts a lot

[750BruteForce4x4i]

no, its like -225 degrees

[JephN]

-297F. You dont want to swallow it. even after warming up, too much exposure to pure O2 can burn you.

[750BruteForce4x4i]

ya, i wasnt sure about the exact number, but i knew you cant drink it lol.

[abid1995]

OmGGG !!!!!! coooll!!! i never thought

oxygen was magnetic.

[maxyevs]

Oh no, sorry, my mistake, apparently those paper towels were smoldering... :(

Well maybe liquid fluorine then, but its not as nice because its not safe to breathe or stuff like that...

[mjnelson91]

Ah. That explains it. Thanks for the update!

[maxyevs]

very nice video, by the way...

i've done mno2 + h2o2 lots of times, if only for the liquid nitrogen...

by the way, you know that liquid nitrogen will condense oxygen straight from air, right?

just google "flaming oxygen drops", it will be the first link that's from popsci

by the way, there it says drops can ignite simply when falling on paper towels? are you sure it can't ignite gasoline?

[mjnelson91]

the bubbles are theory.

I didn't know (and I wouldn't expect it) that lOx would ignite paper towels. In fact, I would need to see it myself to believe it. I just don't think that liquid oxygen has enough energy to start a reaction with something else. I may be wrong, but that's just my inference.

[mjnelson91]

P.S. Sounds like a good Mythbusters thing.

[bennemann]

It doesn't say it ignites simply when falling on paper towels, but that it ignites simply from falling into SMOLDERING paper towels. There's a freaking difference =p

[maxyevs]

try this out... pour the liquid oxygen into a small vial and close the vial.

then drop the vial into a glass of gasoline.

vial will break of course, liquid oxygen has 860:1 expansion ratio. what happens next?

[mjnelson91]

lots of bubbles.

Gasoline reacts with oxygen only when there is enough startup energy.

[skaterat581]

so if this is liquid oxegen, i could go underwater with a water bottle filled with this stuff, with a tube coming out of the top of the bottle, and have my mouth on it the whole time so the the oxegen wouldn't escape, and whenever i need air, just drink some of that, is that what you are telling me?

[DezTurkisch]

no...

I don't know all the mechanics, but thinking about how cold this stuff must be, I'm guessing it would freeze your lungs.

[menu12345]

NO! first of all these stuff is REALLY COLD, second your lung is made for inhaling gas not liquid

[SoronII]

Liquid oxygen is super dense and if you drank it it would freeze your lungs and expand to blow you up :P

[mjnelson91]

Only if you had an airtight seal between your throat and your lungs. Darn biology!

[wattapassa]

also, you need a container which steadily evapourates the oxygen. how would you want to do this?

also, you do know what pressurized oxygen is, right? its just oxygen at such high pressures it liquifies, evapourating as soon as it is released from the container, due to the pressure change.

[Tsugimoto1]

That has got to be EXTREMELY cold!! I never thought I'd get to see what Oxygen looks like in its liquid form. I wonder how cold it would have to get before it was a solid!

[royaltissue]

pretty badass

[lilluzzo]

wath the music name?

[tokasarius]

this shit is so fucking trippy watch this shit man

[qu4zu000]

the more you know

[b43e65f77]

I can see that the test tube has broken

[b43e65f77]

Can aluminium burn in liquid oxygen or liquid chlorine?

[mjnelson91]

Well, for one, anything reacting in liquid chlorine isn't burning in the way you think of burning. You're thinking of combusting, which is anything reacting with oxygen. And regarding the aluminum, I'm pretty sure that it would combust and make aluminum oxide (Al2O3), but I'm not sure that it would "burn."

[pyropakman]

Not quite "burn", but it'll react to make Al2O3 (aluminum oxide) and AlCl3 (aluminum chloride)

You can make liquid chlorine by reacting some potassium permanganate with hydrochloric acid, collecting the gas in a balloon or test tube, and submersing it in a bath of dry ice and acetone. The chlorine will liquefy.

[Videogamer1470]

So the liquid nitrogen cools the oxygen into liquid. Is the balloon there just to contain the oxygen or is there something else?

[thedude77777]

just to contain

[34enes]

you can make liquid nitrogen and oxygen pretty easily at home? i don't think, everybody has got a hydrogen peroxide and a manganese dioxide (catalyst)at home. and test tubes, and liquid nitrogen.....how can i get even so liquid oxygen without all these stuffs? what i only got is a balloon :D

[GRX13]

I'm pretty sure you can get hydrogen peroxide from a drugstore or something as it is usually used as a disinfectant (which stings like hell) for cuts. I'm not sure where to get the manganese dioxide though. The liquid nitrogen costs about as much as milk, Prof. Martyn (the lecturer with the wild hair) says in an earlier vid, I think.

[GRX13]

Prof. Martyn has a channel called "periodictableofvideos", lots of stuff on elements there.

[34enes]

thank you very much

[pattyricks18]

how does this stay liquid at room temp.? wouldn't the liquid nitrogen/oxygen simply evaporate

[refriedbeaners]

yes but slowly, if you left it out for a few hours it would turn back into a gas form, the fog coming off of it is going from liquid to gas. so its kinda, "melting i guess?"

[pattyricks18]

Thanks.

[BlueCougar]

Evaporating, actually. If you watch closely, it's already boiling in the video.

[itsumonihon]

the liquid and gas near the liquid's surface is heavier than the gas of the atmosphere, so while it's in the test tube it tends to stay at the bottom of the tube. eventually when the gas in the tube reaches the rim of the tube, it will start to mix with the atmosphere more readily.

if you took that tube and just threw its contents all over the room quickly it would likely return to its natural gas state pretty quickly, on the order of seconds.

[punkemoalt]

yeah, but, it's not like liquid nitrogen is open to the public, right?

[anthcybo]

You can buy almost any chemicals online, they're just really really expensive.

[itsumonihon]

you can make liquid nitrogen and oxygen pretty easily at home if you have a compressor, it's not very difficult, though making it in large quantities is a different matter.

[thedude77777]

nitrogen isnt that much though

its air pretty much

[angryflan]

what happens, you have items that have different forms, object, liquid, gass.

oxygen is in gass form, its a matter of temprature to change the form. Cool it down and the form goes back to liquid.( Cool it down a lot and it should freeze)

[Bobertoq]

That's cool! And weird. It's magnetic. Does that mean gas oxygen is magnetic?

[weskerness]

hmmm.......if humans could withstand the cold and they swam in liquid oxygen, would it be possible to still breathe?

[bigfanowarriors]

most likely

[grizzlypb]

You would actually die because of the imbalance in your blood due to breathing pure oxygen

however you can survive while breathing certain other liquids such as Perfluorocarbons that have dissolved oxygen in them

[mjnelson91]

Your blood can only hold so much oxygen. The atmosphere's composition already has more oxygen than humans can absorb (about 18%, we use around 14% if I remember correctly). By the logic of your comment, the paramedics that put oxygen masks on people are killing them, not saving them.

[iissmm3]

my theory is no being that in the pure liquid oxygen you cant breath it in being that your lungs require it to be in a gas form so that it can be absorbed properly and put into your bloodstream. Its a good thing to think about though and a cool question you made me think about it for 10 minutes lol.

also if my memory serves me correct we also need other things in the air to breath not only oxygen lol we can go a long time only breathing pure oxygen but eventually...

[soylentgreenb]

"my theory is no being that in the pure liquid oxygen you cant breath it in being that your lungs require it to be in a gas form so that it can be absorbed properly and put into your bloodstream."

Your lungs can't deal with the temperature of liquid oxygen, but the liquid part is not a problem.

Animals like lab-rats have managed to "breathe" oxygen from an oxygen saturated liquid of chemically inert perfluorocarbons.

[shiney343]

do they use liquid oxygen in that freeze away wart remover stuff cause i saw some and it almost perfectly resembled liquid oxygen

[baerlondark]

No, liquid oxygen immediately starts evaporating/boiling off at room temperature. There wouldn't be any left in the bottle about five minutes after putting it in there.

[Hashhakaj]

Nice(^-^)

[BlueCheesemonger650]

Fire: Nom nom nom...

[trav10853]

Nom nom nom is one of the stupidest memes ever created.

[yrrebesoog54345]

Where do you get liquid oxygen?

[nickconfidental]

at the liquid oxygen store dumb ass.

haha. just kidding.

it's not exactly easy to make as a mass produced substance and is very expensive to make.

just make it yourself.

[trav10853]

you know how they say you put your balls in cold water to cum more put them in liquid nitrogen and you'll cum a lot trust me it works

[hack5678]

dont say stuff like that, 80% of internet users are morons, they will do it

[trav10853]

I think that number just increased by 5%...

[hack5678]

the rest of america just got the internet?

[trav10853]

OKAY MAKE THAT 100% OF INTERNET USERS

... By 5% I meant you.

[hack5678]

i got that the first time jackass, (˙ ∆˙)

besides you, a Canadian are calling me a moron... HA!

[trav10853]

Saying that as an American, you shouldn't be speaking.

What makes you better than Canadians? Nothing, you're lower than us, with your people, you government, your obesity, your overall stupidity, your decisions, your education system, everything.

Yeah, Canada's government sucks a lot, at least as a country we're smarter and more healthier.

[hack5678]

im British. Free health care, no guns, low obesity rates and beautiful country side, plus we spell things the way there meant to be spelled

[trav10853]

You're british? Cool, I thought you were american. Suddenly I have more respect for you.

We have free health care in canada, I've heard it sucks but I've never complained. Lawl guns, guns don't kill, it's people, so that says something about the americans... You know British Columbia is beautiful, because our lisence plates say "Beautiful British Columba". And yes, i couldn't agree more on the spelling, color just seems so.. empty with that u, not to mention measurement, does britain use metric

[basil044]

my gf is amreican so shut ur gibber jabber

[trav10853]

I came when I read your comment. It makes you look like such an idiot.

[basil044]

yeah so am i

[basil044]

shut it u faggot u r not u r the fattest people on earth

[1yK3Y4]

Wow, can you please learn to handle yourself a little better and not insult an entire country of people just because of the crap that you saw on tv? Yes, I admit, there are Americans who are as stupid as television makes them out to be. However, those idiots are not representative of the entire population. More of its citizens than you are led to believe aren't selfish, lazy-*ss idiots. Go f*ck yourself.

[trav10853]

Perhaps. I didn't read your comment, but when I saw you write "go fuck yourself", I realized you're just another ignorant dumbfuck americunt.

Thanks for proving me right! You're comment deserves an upvote by me!

[1yK3Y4]

Aw, thanks for being so considerate! The world needs more assholes like you.

[trav10853]

Considerate of what? Yes, the world needs more people like me. In fact, there will never be enough.

Sarcasm, perhaps, or not.

I <3 you now :3

[thedude77777]

dude im from canada

90% are fatasses

[prototype9000]

looks like something fun to do on my days off

[trav10853]

I'm going to fill my swimming pool with liquid oxygen and then I can breathe under water.

[katanaking007]

Yeah...have fun with that.

[rsduhamel]

Great idea, except for the part about being frozen solid.

[2gbc]

if yer pool was filled with liquid oxegen wouldnt u burn like that piece of wood..not freeze

[mjnelson91]

Well, you would only burn if you were on fire, but since you're probably not burning or a source of ignition was near by, the -297.31 °F would freeze you.

[2gbc]

oh alright that makes sense i dint realize those sticks were already on fire wen he dropped them in i guess

[Ultimatallic]

The wood was on fire before it was placed in liquid oxygen, so he's safe from burning as long as no-one ignites the swimming pool.

[jeremiahswee]

Uh...lox isn't flammable. It's an oxidizer that makes other substances flammable. So the lox wouldn't ignite, the ignition source would.

[mehdital]

yea but there are already oxygen in water

[2gbc]

nobody is talking about water kid
