  • nice balls.

  • Say balls one more time.

  • BALLS!!!!!!

  • wouldn't a ping pong ball collapse in liquid nitrogen?

  • More likely to be higher internal pressure of the hotter balls, resulting in higher surface tension and less damping causing the hotter ones to bounce higher?? ie compare a partly deflated soccer or basket ball being dropped, with an over inflated one.

  • get this guys, I laughed everytime he said ballz... Surprising isn't it?

  • thumbs up for ballz

  • I was wondering when their balls were going to drop.

  • 0:39 i can watch this FOREVER ROTFL

  • i think they have balls...

  • I see a pattern....

  • a bunch of guys freezing each others balls.... why does this sound so familiar?

  • Comment removed

  • Temperature as you say, being internal energy in the system is not able to have effects on bouncing in the way you suggest. This would violate the laws of thermodynamic. I assume that you have a way more macroscopic effect here. I was thinking of of a ball of solid iron that will not bounce at all when you bring it to a temperature where it nearly starts to melt, because it deforms a lot.

  • @Maiston But they weren't testing iron balls, were they? What you said is true, but they were testing low temperatures at which nothing is close to being liquid!

  • wow very original show.. NOT!

  • your data is inconsistent because you didnt test well enough

  • on mythbusters this has been proven but still good!

  • Need to walk over to the arts department and get some help with your video composition. You might even get to talk to a girl! Good testing apparatus though.

  • Frozen ping pong balls doesn't change much because there's not a lot of solid volume to freeze, It probably would have been fine to touch a second after it was taken out of the liquid nitrogen.

  • lol one of the frozen tennis balls were steaming hahahahaha(insert annoying cackle)!!!

  • Frozen things don't bounce because they absorb most of the kinetic energy from the impact as heat. Hot things have a higher threshold for absorbing any additional energy, so unless you can provide a pretty good impact most of the energy will be dissipated through the reaction rather than absorbed into the thing itself. If you measured the temperature of the cold balls after impact with equally cold surface (in vacuum to negate energy transfer through air) you'd see that the ball warmed up a bit.

  • My eye balls my balls balls and 1 base ball. LOL those r the real balls

  • i have 5 different types of balls 

  • I have cryoballs.

  • lol balls

  • i would guess "warmer" balls have more flexibilty, and such, they absorb more chock energy and thus, bounce less.

    Frozen balls should bounce more.

  • @adriiPortillo think about what you just said...."FROZEN balls should bounce more"...are you serious? name one frozen item do you know of that can bounce...

  • @DCurt2287 you well read... SHOULD, but they dont. I was trying to point out a physical propierty but not a fact.

    But now that you ask it, how about water? liquid water doesnt bounce but ice can bounce. Not much, but it can.

  • Well theres something everyone already knows

  • nice work
