Screaming Dry Ice

[Zeroethorder]

I tried doing this when I was making some cryogenic permanents the other day. Didn't work :/

[IslamFox1]

YOUR AMAZING !!

I'M REALY ENJOYING WHAT DO !! :D

[cheekeymonkeys123]

School Nuff said

[1234doawee]

can you please do a video debunking hulda clarks "zapper" please? :) (in case you didnt know she wrote the books "a cure for all dieases", "a cure for cancer" and "a cure for hiv/aids. THANKS!

[ConradW]

you're hurting it!

[Leonis1989]

Or get a chunk the size of a brick and throw it at them.

[mrdaym]

But seriously though, explain the science in another video. I know I could easily look it up myself but that's hardly entertainment.

[josenros]

I work in a chemistry lab, and sometimes when I'm bored and waiting for a reaction to run, I'll press some dry ice against the TLC heating plate, producing this awful high-pitched squeal. Dry ice is also good for a makeshift game of air hockey with a lab mate. Ah, the things we do to amuse ourselves in lab...

[WonderfulDenmark]

Hahahahah!!



[Sebasstian86]

damn, I just god some restriction enzymes in a box with huge blocks of dry ice...I set it out to evaporate...It'll be gone on monday. I would love to try that out! Its better then putting it in the sink, make steamy clouds and break the piping :-P

[shukfahid]

WE WANT TO KNOW WHYYYY

[alchemistapf]

I always found that dry ice as they were washing glassware in warm water with detergent worked a treat - stand back and watch the bubbles overflow!

[Azyashi]

STOP TORTURING THE ICE!!!! =(

[id0stuff]

dry ice is my favorite band now

[sarcleaeolist]

Heh, to cause additional havoc wait until someone just starts up the ultracentrifuge. Although finding a work place might be advisable after that.

[salerio61]

@sarcleaeolist roflma now THAT just has to be done :)

[Shalek]

Holy crap, sounds like swords clashing, cool.

[Logoscyth]

On the last day of school, my chemistry teacher showed the class magnesium burning in dry ice. Later, I picked up a piece and annoyed the hell out of the class by doing this...

[thenofxer]

I will as soon as i get my degree;0

[newusername01]

This works better if you place an empty polystyrene box on-top of the cry ice.

[tml4873]

It's actually screaming metal, not screaming dry ice.

[Ye4hBuddy]

Crotch bar has an redundancy issue.

[Felhaven]

HA! I used to do this when i worked the frozen food section at a grocery store.

[AuntieDiluvian]

Love your work!!

[JimtheEvo]

Best dry ice story I know, My supervisor old lab had desks in it, 1 day he put a bit in a glove, tied it up and put it next to a fellow working... he was focused on a book. He sniggered and scampered away to outside the lab waiting for the bang. 5 mins passed and nothing happened, so he thought, clearly he had noticed the prank and stopped it before anything happened. so back into the lab he go to find the guy still sitting there with a massive glove next to him. he ran away much faster then

[HealingBlight]

Needs to be more bigger and more louder and more annoying and more myles.

[Textra1]

That's how the foley artists on the original Star Wars made the screeching crackling sound of two light sabers in contact. A piece of dry ice pressed onto a table with a piece of metal.

[macman393]

Now we need another video showing why this works.

[powerm1985]

@macman393 The explanation is in the crotch bar and more awesome cold based science is coming soon. In fact this was just a little extra footage that did not make the final cut on a vid about liquid nitrogen.

[ZergAteu]

@powerm1985 We're waiting for the explanation :-)

[sarcleaeolist]

@powerm1985 Are you going to do one on lyophilization? I always thought that was pretty fun (and a handy thing for keeping samples for a long time). Or critical point drying? Amusing tricks with triple point diagrams usually raises a few eyebrows from the people who don't think about it much.

[tommylehman]

Fuck, that hurts my ears this listening to it on youtube.

[powerm1985]

@tommylehman IRL it is much worse 

[InnocuousRemark]

Now my spine hurts.

[pigwigpa]

you need to put that dry ice in a soda bottle with some warm water. Then close it and toss under someones chair

[jebus6kryst]

Awesomes. A better idea is to super heat a glass and leave it out for someone to put away for you.

[cerjon04]

Thanks for the tip, I've got to try that one out tomorrow!

[EdwardHowton]

Fascinating! Thanks for the explanation. That would've bothered me all day.

[McPrfctday]

nice. Put some in the back of the TV when gran is watching :D

[Answersinbooks]

Better plan: When they are not looking drop some into their rotary evaporator bath. Then watch the panic :)

[ARKAtheist]

@Answersinbooks Oh god someone did something like that in a lab I worked in once. They put little bits of dry ice in each of the 6 positions of a 15 ml tube centrifuge and so when I turned the damn thing on the gas slowly leaked out and looked like the centrifuge was frying (which happened the week before).

[Answersinbooks]

@ARKAtheist That sounds like a fantastic idea. I will make a note of that one :D

[XDukemoothieX]

@Answersinbooks

Are you speaking from experience?

[Answersinbooks]

@XDukemoothieX ;)

[powerm1985]

@Answersinbooks I do that all the time but only to make my work look more "sciencey"

[workaholicandy]

@Answersinbooks ahh prank wars in the lab.. brings back fond memories.. I once set up the old water ballon and pin trick on a doorway so that the ballon bursts all over the person entering the room. except it was filled with 2% gentain violet soln.. and the 1st person through the door was a visiting professor.. opps

[tiaxanderson]

Now I know why we didn't had dry ice in our chem lab at school xD

[IVscythia]

nice, almost wish I worked in a lab xD
