"When they're suitably anethetized" LOL, I love how he had to clarify that!

[Ballpythondude420]

yes im sure the children of his that he mentioned in one of the videos were just dropped on his doorstep

@MrSmudger687 The phase is related to the pressure it's stored at. At higher pressures Nitrogen like all other gasses boils at higher temperatures.

[MrSmudger687]

@Ormaaj - The liquid nitrogen IS stored at room temperature. Liquid nitrogen is so cold because it's evaporation to a gas is highly endothermic, which brings the temperature down.

I wonder if it will make my grandpas dick hard too? ¬.¬

Dewar, thermos and vacuum all the same eh?

Thanks Pete for an advise. Now I don't need a broom. I am going to clean floor with nitrogen.

@TheSweetalchemist I've seen them do experiments where they use liquid nitrogen and just tip it onto the floor after they've demonstrated. it doesn't do much harm, but then again all of the chemistry lecture halls are built with huge suction fans above the front desks...

@thesweetalchemist: it is an asphyxiant so unknown nitrogen spills are quite dangerous in labs and the like as you don't notice the asphyxiation, you can still breathe normally even when it has displaced the oxygen, you're likely to faint before you realize there's a big nitrogen spill, however it takes a while with the windows shut for you to suffocate and a decent amount spilled, i would hope these guys are smart enough that they'd air the room out soon after doing that.

[TheSweetalchemist]

Isn't spilling liquid nitrogen in a small room like that will cause suffocation?

[CootPrankCalls]

Yeah, actually just if you want to know - they use the cold nitrogen in dermatology for the skin to relax after it has been damaged in some way... I've felt it when they

put it on my face and it just feels so nice...

[Ormaaj]

How strong of a container would you need to hold liquid nitrogen at room temperature? So strong that it's just cheaper to make more and just store it at atmospheric pressure?
