  • Is it possible to make solid nitrogen consdering that helium becomes a super fluid at close to 0 Kalvin

    what would happen to nitrogen?

  • @MCmister911 Yes. See our video called "Let's Freeze Liquid Nitrogen!"

  • If you go outdoors with that how far can you shoot the magnet? to tha space? :D:D

  • @RallyyySmurf Only a foot or so higher. The auditorium's ceiling is just close enough for us to hit it.

  • Could this be used as a weapon?

  • @PykohYT Theoretically, sure.
