i'm a little puzzled. you said it was the water/ethanol vapour? from my (relatively small) experience with the stuff, what you're seeing is the boiled off nitrogen. sure, there'd be a small amount of the other vapour in there too, but it would be in relatively small concentrations since the vapour pressures are much lower, and boiling points much higher...
@rahagbab Not really. Thick can be a measurement of size i.e one brick can be thicker than the other. But dense is more about, maybe in terms of bricks, more brick, less pockets of air... I have a terrible way of explaining it, I apolagise. But Im very sure Thunderf00t could explain it in a heartbeat!
@rahagbab in common language yes but in this context by thick he means, well, thick light. cannot easily pass through it. and by dense he means molecularly dense, heavier for lack of a better synonym although weight has little to do with the matter.
LN is good stuff. I thought you were going to show the leidenfrost effect because you were not wearing gloves lol. Well you still showed it by pouring LN into a room temp container, But I was waiting to see you pour it on your hand.
Why doesn't liquid nitrogen explode? Or boil away far more rapidly? As I understand it heat moves from hot things to cooler things. Given that liquid nitrogen is far colder than that lab, why doesn't it suck up more heat and explode?
Anyone know if there are plumbing systems for delivering Liquid Nitrogen from a dewer flask through a pipe to a tap? I guess the dewer flask just needs to be above the tap so gravity will do the rest.
But I have looked around and noone seems to handle LN like this.
@TilleyFedora I know I'm not Thunderf00t, but ethanol is a very small molecule and condenses fairly readily so it can enter the blood stream via inhalation, in fact I've heard of clubs that offer alcohol in vapour form. However I don't think inhaling vapour from ethanol + liquid nitrogen would get you drunk quicker than inhaling vapour from room temperature ethanol, the LN doesn't make more ethanol evaporate, in just makes the vapour more visible by making it condense into microscopic droplets.
@screaminmetal Probably cheap lab grade 95% ethanol. It's 95% pure because getting the remaining bit of water out is expensive. It's cheap because it's denatured with methanol and you don't have to pay any taxes that apply to booze because only an idiot would drink it.
Wearing gloves is actually more dangerous than not wearing them. Gloves can trap the liquid nitrogen and increase the risk of getting cold burns. Besides, even if you do get some on your hand, the nitrogen will instantly vaporize, and a layer of gaseous nitrogen will form a protective layer between your hand and the liquid nitrogen and protect you from frostbite. This is called the Leidenfrost effect.
Thats why cyrogenic gloves, as far as i know, don't allow liquids to seep in, basically keeping them out. When i had to poor some LN2 last year i had to wear quite thick silvery gloves
If you pour some water on a really hot plate the big globs of water will touch the plate and boil vigorously, but when the drops get small enough they will glide around on a cushion of steam above the hot plate, and it will take up to half a minute for them to evaporate.
This is very reminiscent of how liquid nitrogen behaves; it boils vigorously in contact with anything and the escaping nitrogen gas largely insulates the object from the escaping stream of nitrogen.
very interesting. I want to do some experiments with liguid N2, but about how much are those dewars you keep it in? A hundred dollars, or a few hundred?
IF you keep it there the skin will freeze, but liquid nitrogen has a poor thermal contact meaning it takes time for your skin to react to the cold =)
In my science class the professor actually put some in his mouth for a few second before spitting it out siwthout any effect. i thought that was cool! ^^
It's actually less safe to handle liquid nitrogen with gloves, because liquid nitrogen is prone to the Leidenfrost effect. Basically it avoids your skin ( for a while) due to a cushion of gas constantly forming underneath it; however, it might get trapped between the glove and your skin, causing cold burns.
Where did you get it? Or do you have the equipment to make your own? I've been thinking that if Charles Boyle could make it then I could too with a more modern still.
I had just seen, for the 1st time, prior to this video, VenomfangX's apology! Both videos are great! I just wonder if he had any real feelings of regret? (Besides getting caught) Or was he just doing what his parents were making him do to save thier financial ass?! You know, like they made him read the bible to "save his immortal soul"?!
Yes Cost the same as milk in the US. I get it in the UK and it costs £60 for 50 litres. A bit more pricey than milk. Sorry thunderfoot this is a tirade against the price of milk in the US, and bread. Now our bread and milk have soared in price led by ASDA (owned by Wal-Mart) and all the others followed suit. Farmers get 10p per litre of milk yet the supermarkets and hence everyone else sell it at 80p per litre. That excluded delivery which is borne by the farmers. I get it delivered.
There's no such thing as liquid nitrogen; it's a lie made up by Darwinists! You don't see Jesus walking around on liquid nitrogen in the Bible, do you? Or turning liquid nitrogen into wine! What, do you think Noah built the ark to save all the animals (except the dinosaurs) from liquid nitrogen? You evolutionists are crazy! Next thing you'll be telling me the internet is real.
I use a lot of this at work in the lab and we often just reach right into it bear handed when we want to take something out. If you don't leave your hand in for several seconds than it will not burn you. It's actually quite amusing it feels like it's running away from your hand as you reach in.
Yes you certainly can, in fact people are trying to market such devices to bars as a way to get drunk without getting hungover, however it hasn't caught on that well. It also is much more dangerous because you can easily OD due to it being hard to measure a gas vs. a liquid.
Keep in mind that alcohol vapor is fairly toxic, which is why people who collect insects and spiders put a cotton ball soaked in rubbing alcohol in the jar to quickly kill the specimens for study.
If he touches it for just a minute the heat from his hands will boil the nitrogen and it will create a barrier around his hand, called the Leindenfrost effect. So, yes he should be, but as the description says "Naturally there are some hazards to handling liquid nitrogen, but to be honest, there are larger hazards from fueling your car yknow pumping 10+ gallons of highly flammable liquid into a, typically plastic fuel tank.".
I remember in my highschool chemistry class our teacher each gave us a bit of dry ice (CO2 i think?) in water to examine (and play with). Then he brought in a canister of liquid nitrogen and immersed stuff inside to freeze it: flowers, graham crackers, etc. He wore gloves the entire time when messing with both chemicals...so watching you NOT wear gloves was a bit anxious for me :P But whatever; your hands, not mine.
Thanks for the show, I didn't know that about ethanol vs. water! xD
Always fun to take a thick rubber vacuum tube with a pipette stuck in the end, and place the other end into the liquid N2. You can shoot liquid N2 across the room this way, fun prank to play in the lab.
awesome post. very cool stuff. but i agree, please wear safety gloves and set a good example for all those future chemists out there who don't want to lose fingers.
ya good question...any1 kno anything abt this guy? lol ive been a huge fan for a long as time, but i kno almost nothing abt him...where did he go to school? did he get any degrees? wheres he from? wats his first freakin name???
of course this doesnt chnge the fact tht he is the man
what's really fun is to trap a cat under a bucket and shoot some liquid nitrogen in there and smack it with a bat and watch it shatter. but it smells real bad for a few weeks after.
It'd take more liquid nitrogen than he's ever seen, not to mention that it would take a long time for it to thoroughly freeze a cat to the point where if he took a baseball bat he could bust it.
True, I didn't think that through. But wouldn't a BUCKET of it be rather quick? If the environment is rather sealed, than after thermal contact it would be rather quick wouldn't it? I'm not particularly sure though, to be honest.
LoL, here's the next question: Do we REALLY want to go into the details of how to freeze a cat with liquid nitrogen to the point where you could shatter it on the internet so god knows who could get an idea of how to go about doing it?
nah, it's actually pretty quick. knew a kid who's dad had a tank of it in his truck for his job. just stick the hose under the bucket and open the valve for a few seconds. I'm sure you can find vids of roses and such being frozen and shattered by liquid nitrogen. works the same for a cat.
I'm telling you I've seen it done. I'd put up a vid myself except that I don't have access and I find it foolish and inhumane. liquid nitrogen is somewhere below -320 degrees fahrenheit. it will freeze pretty much anything that contains water in seconds. a cat, or you, or any animal is somewheres around 80 percent water. frankly, you could stick your thumb in liquid nitrogen for a few seconds and tap it on a table and it would shatter.
I'm telling you, not only have I never seen it done, I've never seen an evidence to allow it. A tap on a table is a gross understatement, and beyond that, a cat has far more mass than ANY human thumb I've ever heard of.
No you couldn't, something as big as a thump take far longer to freeze. It has a big heat capacity because of all the water content, and it is hard to make good thermal contact to liquid nitrogen.
I still don't recommend putting you thump in it though, you will get a frostbite in seconds, although it would take several minutes to make it shatter-ready.
I call bullshit on that one. It would take the better half of 3 minutes to completely freeze your thumb. If you dip your thumb in there for a few seconds nothing will happen on a count of a thin layer of nitrogen vapor that would insulate your thumb from the liquid nitrogen. You can exploit this by putting a small amount of liquid nitrogen in your mouth to impress your friends and maybe even the ladies.
I think you would die, considering it is probarly ethanol they use in a lab. That means there is a lot of crap in there besides the alcohol. I would not advice drinking it.
There are few different grades of reagent purity. Ethanol you can buy in your local store would be called "food grade" in lab. There are two general grades lower than that - technical grade and "denatured ethanol" - and yes, they're nasty. But higher grades eg. pure, pure for analysis, reagent-grade, ACS-grade, HPLC-grade - and they are much more pure.
You are unlikely to die from die from a few sips of technical grade alcohol though. The impurities would be unhealthy in the long run, but it is not like it is poison.
So yes, you would probably get drunk, and likely get worse hangovers than you normally would, and then maybe have a slightly higher risk of developing cancer.
you can get high off of gasoline fumes or chlorine tablet fumes too, but don't bother if you're not suicidal or in the mood to develop serious chronic health problems.
Ok, maybe that's an exaggerated example but pretty much the same thing, you'd burn the inside of your mouth, throat, esophagus, and potentially stomach depending how much you drink.

nah, it's actually pretty quick. knew a kid who's dad had a tank of it in his truck for his job. just stick the hose under the bucket and open the valve for a few seconds. I'm sure you can find vids of roses and such being frozen and shattered by liquid nitrogen. works the same for a cat.

Roses and stuff, not cats. A regular bucket would freeze before the cat would.

kid,
I'm telling you I've seen it done. I'd put up a vid myself except that I don't have access and I find it foolish and inhumane. liquid nitrogen is somewhere below -320 degrees fahrenheit. it will freeze pretty much anything that contains water in seconds. a cat, or you, or any animal is somewheres around 80 percent water. frankly, you could stick your thumb in liquid nitrogen for a few seconds and tap it on a table and it would shatter.
knappydanny 2 years ago
I'm telling you, not only have I never seen it done, I've never seen an evidence to allow it. A tap on a table is a gross understatement, and beyond that, a cat has far more mass than ANY human thumb I've ever heard of.
BusinessIDBAI 2 years ago
No you couldn't, something as big as a thump take far longer to freeze. It has a big heat capacity because of all the water content, and it is hard to make good thermal contact to liquid nitrogen.
I still don't recommend putting you thump in it though, you will get a frostbite in seconds, although it would take several minutes to make it shatter-ready.

Damn you are the fourth person on youtube I found that spells thumb as "thump". Everyone else spelled it right are you trying to rebel?
madzyzome 2 years ago
I call bullshit on that one. It would take the better half of 3 minutes to completely freeze your thumb. If you dip your thumb in there for a few seconds nothing will happen on a count of a thin layer of nitrogen vapor that would insulate your thumb from the liquid nitrogen. You can exploit this by putting a small amount of liquid nitrogen in your mouth to impress your friends and maybe even the ladies.

a cold burn for a couple of seconds is more likely.. shattering thumb..not quite..
FailMate 2 years ago
guess it just depends how long you leave your thumb in. I don't know how long it takes.

Yeah great example for everyone. Don't wear protective gloves or equipment. What could possible go wrong? Did you shoot this video in your meth lab?

would u get drunk from the 2nd flask?
StL33T 2 years ago
I think you would die, considering it is probarly ethanol they use in a lab. That means there is a lot of crap in there besides the alcohol. I would not advice drinking it.
BlindfoldedPoet 2 years ago
There are few different grades of reagent purity. Ethanol you can buy in your local store would be called "food grade" in lab. There are two general grades lower than that - technical grade and "denatured ethanol" - and yes, they're nasty. But higher grades eg. pure, pure for analysis, reagent-grade, ACS-grade, HPLC-grade - and they are much more pure.
KristoffDoe 2 years ago 2
You are unlikely to die from die from a few sips of technical grade alcohol though. The impurities would be unhealthy in the long run, but it is not like it is poison.
So yes, you would probably get drunk, and likely get worse hangovers than you normally would, and then maybe have a slightly higher risk of developing cancer.
So yes, you would get drunk, and you might
Sgrunterundt 2 years ago
I agree. That's why I wrote "nasty". :)

you can get high off of gasoline fumes or chlorine tablet fumes too, but don't bother if you're not suicidal or in the mood to develop serious chronic health problems.

@arabjin666 What happens when you drink lava?
Ok, maybe that's an exaggerated example but pretty much the same thing, you'd burn the inside of your mouth, throat, esophagus, and potentially stomach depending how much you drink.

your insides would freeze and your lungs would be filled with nitrogen gas, essentially you would die lol.
