  • Steve looked like he was a child

  • @97PUMKINHEAD We were all children at one point.

  • when the lids of the canisters pop off, what is coming out of them? is it just nitrogen gas, or is it liquid nitrogen and nitrogen gas?

  • Some of the liquid nitrogen comes out, kind of like how water can come out of a glass if you slam it on a table. The liquid nitrogen then cools the air which condenses the water vapor, forming clouds/fog. This is mainly what you're seeing. Nitrogen gas is coming out, but it doesn't look different than normal air.

  • the caps fly from the ground to the table!

  • What now?

  • Awesome videos! I would love to see this same principal in a steam engine. Have a normal small example of a steam engine boiling water to power it. Then remove the flame and replace the water with liquid nitrogen.

  • *pop* reload!

  • make this into a machine that dispenses the liquid nitrogen into the flim canesters, and you have yourselves a CAP gun. lol get it....

  • ok, thanks for clearing that up for me! ^^

  • hahaha
