sure, dry ice which is never a liquid but goes straight from solid to gaseous state....pretty hard to POUR dry ice, isn't it? also dry ice wouldn't vanish in an instant...it takes a golf ball sized piece of dry ice quite a while to evaporate...I did the same thing with liquid nitrogen in college, though I was more careful to hold my hand at a slant so the liquid nitrogen wouldn't pool in my palm...not that it would remain there long enough anyway....

Nah. The Leidenfrost Effect is real. The temperature difference between his hand and the nitrogen is over 400 Fahrenheit degrees. I did this myself as a grad student 30 years ago. I held my hand at a slant so the nitrogen would slide off easily. It feels very cold but doesn't hurt. You'd probably have to pour it for 2-3 seconds or so before your hand would get cold enough to receive a "burn".

Rrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeaaaaaaalllll

Works well with molten aluminium but in an inverted sense - as I found out when attempting to cast up a box of patterns and poured too quickly missing the box as sending molten aluminium all over the workshop floor. Those molten beads sure take on a life of their own when they vaporise any dust/dirt/water on the floor.

I did an A/C course and they forgot to tell us about this. Hope to see more of you in the new year!!!

Like yours is any better. :P
-
Totally got in trouble for doing this in my lab...
FYI for anyone thinking of trying this, don't let the liquid nitrogen pool ANYWHERE on your hand (ie. in a cupped palm).
