Ice Cooled with Liquid Nitrogen

We take cubes of regular ice and cool them with liquid nitrogen.

The ice made this way can be used to cool drinks and as long as you don't let the ice directly touch your mouth the drinks are safe. Once they warm back up to 0 degrees they can be treated exactly the same as regular ice.

Alternatively, just use a straw when using ice of this type.

I wish you were my science teacher.

Watching ice boil a liquid makes me smile.

what would happen if you stuck that in coke? wouldnt it freeze the coke also?

[ahhmkk]

i want liquid nitrogen :]

I've read that super cold ice can actually get very hard. From ice's usual hardness of I believe about 2 up to 6 on the Mohs scale making harder than steel although very brittle.

@emonerdygirl123 of course, why not? You breath nitrogen with every breath of air

If yhu put ice in liquid nitrogin and then in a drink until it melts, would it be safe to drink it?

[ermineking88]

why is it you guys have so much liquid nitrogen?

[Muscleduck]

But what if you put dry ice in liquid N2?

Only if my teacher showed us this video, I would have made a better grade in her class.

@TehBadTouche oh yeah he will be a very cool teacher to be, for a amateur wanna be chemists.
