Edible Lava Lamp? Wind tunnel? Dorkbot Seattle

Basil Seed Drink plus dry ice: a spontaneous fluid mechanical food device made at Dorkbot techno-artist meeting. Basil Seed Drink can be found at an Asian grocery, or buy it online. In Seattle, dry ice comes from QFC food marts and from certain welding supply shops. Or look in phonebook yellow pages.

if you put dry ice in a bottle of water is it safe to drink without ingesting the ice?

[wbeaty]

@masterbaits1 Yes, it just carbonates the drink.

But be sure and get "food grade" dry ice. The bulk industrial-grade cheap stuff is full of trace petroleum, and causes headaches/nausea if you put it in drinks.

How did you hold that dry ice without freeze burning yourself =O

[wbeaty]

@elverg47 See other dry ice vids on this channel. Dry ice doesn't give instant frostbite. It takes several seconds. Similar ...hot bread in the oven doesn't give instant burns, that's why you can juggle a hot bun without needing oven mitts.

Doesnt that also turn into a little carboxylic acid? I mean the drink has water and you are bubbling CO2 through it.. But i guess it wont harm you as much cause rain contains carboxylic acid and its not painful ^.^

> also turn into a little carboxylic acid?

@Valentino319 carbonic acid, that's why carbonated drinks taste tangy.  If you bubble CO2 through fruit juice, it becomes carbonated.
