I live in the area and we went here for a field trip in elementary school. The guy was really funny, he kept throwing liquid nitrogen at the piano and other junk.
@116387377365442937386 But that wasn't the thought. The thought is given as a quote in the video. Rewording it might give an equivalent meaning, but that equivalent meaning isn't what the though was.
+Marinus It's five cents worth of nitrogen. It would cost far more to return it to its main storage tank, so dumping it on the floor actually saves money.
+Connor Read he has a big tank but what he's saying is it's only 5 cents *worth* of the *big tank* of liquid nitrogen, there is probably not going to be liquid nitrogen for 5 cents
Luke Palmer You do realize JaeMi Lee was kinda being rude for no reason first right? ***** is right, plus this video WAS exciting if you have a passion for science and physics, *he turned a bouncy ball into a pile of ice cubes!*
+Tamika Monkwalker No, I'd call it a toy. It's certainly not a balloon. At least, not in the traditional sense. Also, I'd make certain that I know the difference between its and it's before commenting on someone else's grammar. The world has an ample supply of rudeness. There's no need to spend time making more.
PJ MasterDiddy It really wouldn't be that difficult. Sure, the Leidenfrost effect would prevent rapid cooling for a short amount of time, but that can easily be counteracted with additional amounts of liquid nitrogen. If it were really that difficult, gloves, goggles and other safety gear wouldn't be required when handling it.
Jorden Clayson I agree, I think because they know what they're doing, they wanted to cover the surface evenly with liquid N so we'd get that epic result. If they hadn't done that, I'm sure it would've ended like some other neanderthal's experiment and just froze on the bottom.
If anyone is wondering, elastomeric polymers like the one that ball is made of have different properties depending on the temperature they’re subjected to. Below a certain temperature, dubbed the “glass transition temperature”, the polymer changes its character from elastic to rigid, and begins to yield far more quickly to stress and strain.
There was no variable changed, it was an observation, like astronomy, still science, but not an experiment. What im trying to say, is that it might be obvious to someone what the ball would do outside of the nitrogen, but you have to test that to make sure there isnt some hidden variable.
Vityou It was an experiment because ball was added to an environment to observe what would happen to it. (IE: Really cold liquid vs. normal air) The difference is not just the fact there was a variable change, but that this situation was intentionally instigated by the experimenters. If these balls were known to be found in such cold temperatures normally, and could be observed in the environment without removing it from another, that would be a simple observation. Similarly to lab rats. If you place them in a maze to see how they react, it is an experiment. The rats were placed in there to see how they respond to the environment of the maze. It would only be observation if you happened upon a rat in the wild and watched it for a few hours.
Yeah I see what your saying but they didnt test how it reacted to normal air. And with the rats, you would have to see how they reacted without a maze first or else the maze could have no effect and you wouldnt even know.
Jessica Valirov It could be poured back into the container, but it's safer to just pour it onto the floor. If you look at how things are set-up, the container is at an odd height with respect to the presenters and its opening is much narrower than the bowl. Given this, it's entirely possible that some of the nitrogen could be spilt. If it's spilt, some of it could skitter across the table and end up splashing on the presenters. Now, they are dressed in a way that will protect them from small splashes, but there's no real point in exposing them to that risk if you don't have to. So, you pour it on the floor. The floor is hard to miss and it's far less likely that the nitrogen ends up on the presenters.
+James Hald Sure, if you know what you're doing. See "Let's Pour Liquid Nitrogen on the Floor!" for details [th-cam.com/video/gvuOhpsI9yQ/w-d-xo.html].
+Nathalia Samayoa Sorry but what? "It turns into small molecules and disappears"? It turns into gas, if that's what you mean by "small molecules" and it mixes with the air(which is more than 2/3 nitrogen, anyway), if that's what you mean by "disappear". I guess you're not entirely wrong...
Something that sort of disappoints me with Liquid Nitrogen videos is they only ever show something getting frozen. But with something like the Koosh that dramatically changed shape and properties when it was frozen, it makes me curious what the material is like after it warms back up. Does it go back to it's flexible wibbly wobbly state or does the material get ruined after the freezing.
+Connor Lee In the US you can just buy it, no license required, but you can only get it from very specific places that likely sell it in larger quantities than you'd want, meaning it won't be cheap. I'd imagine you'd need to be 18+ to purchase it, that's just a guess. I'm not sure on that part.
Nick Bailey Guess it depends on what your definition of 'terrible' is. The nitrogen that was poured out costs about 25 cents or so. And, even if it were to have been poured back into the storage Dewar, it'll still turn back to a gas. It'll take longer to do so than being poured onto the floor, but is was still 'dead nitrogen walking' at that point.
1) Generally, you throw it on the floor. See "Let's Pour Liquid Nitrogen on the Floor!" 2) If by 'disappear' you mean 'change into a gas' then, yes. 3) Anyone with money, yes.
***** You can't have it in a sealed container, as the pressure will eventually build to the point where the container explodes. If care is taken to prevent a crosswind from blowing over it, the open mouth Dewar can hold nitrogen for about a day. The 10 liter Dewar we use, which isn't seen in this video, can hold nitrogen for about a week, if the Dewar is pre-cooled first.
to save you some time next time you see something and wonder "ooooo what will happen if I put this in liquid nitrogen" the answer is, it'll freeze every time
Team Abyss wow 5 posts. this is why I hate posting from my phone. lol. but anyway who's to say they didn't just stumble across the video and commented on it, like you just did?
With this amount of liquid nitrogen evaporating, it's going to produce noticeable volume of gas. Won't this lower the concentration of O2 enough to make people dizzy? In smaller room, at least.
"I was at the mall, and I saw this. And the first thing I thought was, I wonder what would happen if I put it in liquid nitrogen." All I'll say is: it's a good job you weren't in the pet shop.
Liquid nitrogen cannot stay liquid in our hot environment, it melts off soon enough. The floor is too big and hot to do any damage to it. If you see what happens when you dump liquid nitrogen on the floor, it fizzles off and collects dust. Helpful for cleaning I guess.
Like we say in the video description, watch "Let's Pour Liquid Nitrogen on the Floor!" if you're worried about the liquid nitrogen being poured on the floor.
Jefferson Lab I was being kind of sarcastic. I do commend you though for such a calm reply. I think by now, if I were you I would be screaming "IT'S OK TO POUR THE LIQUID NITROGEN ON THE FLOOR!!! FFS WATCH THE VIDEO ABOUT POURING LIQUID NITROGEN ON THE FLOOR YOU DIMWITTED HALF BRAINED THICK MORONS!"
Would the type of gas within the "koosh ball" as a variable affect anything in this situation? For instance do some gases give up their heat more readily or are more easily compressed than others?
+Joshua Pratt same hahahahahhahahahhahhahahahahahhahahhahhahahahhahahhahahhahahahhahahahahahhahhahhahaha and in my another thought is "Where can I buy it?" hahhahahahahahaahahhaahahahahhahahahhahaha!
2:25 There is something of an obligation when dumping chemicals on something to see what happens to chuckle just a little. It's like venting pressure for mad science.
I like the personalities of the people i see in the video. Girl is kinda like wanting to do actual stuff, meanwhile the guy just has fun with all resources he has.
"so what can we predict will happen, using what we already know?" Me: Can't i just do it and be surprised instead of knowing what will happen and possibly being disappointed when the prediction is something i didn't want to happen.?
+K Man Ideally, a Dewar flask to hold it. A pick-up truck with an open bed to transport it. Goggles, gloves, long pants, close-toe shoes to wear whilst using it. As far as training, that comes from being guided by someone who has experience with it.
+K Man Liquid nitrogen training is conducted in person (there's a practical aspect to the course). If you're physically close to Jefferson Lab, and are old enough, we might be able to work something out.
I like to binge watch robotics, mechanisms, and pure science on TH-cam sometimes, this interested me actually. I once went to a science show, and the guy did pretty much the same thing as this, but with a rubber ball that they use for sports and exercises, shattered to bits. He passed bits on to the audience to pass and look at, was pretty cool. Thanks for posting this!
lehman 'The Lab" refers to Jefferson Lab, the name of the channel and the physical location where this was taking place. Search for it on Google Maps. It's a real place/thing.
No!!! You are hurting it! It was squirming before it died and you were laughing. It's this kind of violence on internet that is ruining our youth. :) I love that sound when nitrogen hits the floor.
Man, I hate it when I accidentally drop my giant koosh ball in Liquid Nitrogen...
same
ikr same
ik that happens all the time it's so annoying
SOO RELATABLE
Pause
"lets get rid of this" pours all of the liquid nitrogen on the floor.
+Frog In A Car pretty sure it just evaporates almost instantly, and goes back to Gas form.
LeaderFox96 ik it just made me laugh
Very smart and unexpected!
I live in the area and we went here for a field trip in elementary school. The guy was really funny, he kept throwing liquid nitrogen at the piano and other junk.

probably because they are. lol thats already been answered.

+Bella, The Hero of Time hello 90s my old friend. Ive come to fiddle with you again
So, the first thing you think when you see a squishy fun pink toy is: "Hmm, I wonder what would happen if I put that in a chemical bath?"
No, the first thought was 'I wonder what would happen if we were to put this in liquid nitrogen?' I'm sure that was clearly stated...
Jefferson Lab A chemical bath of liquid nitrogen.
@116387377365442937386 But that wasn't the thought. The thought is given as a quote in the video. Rewording it might give an equivalent meaning, but that equivalent meaning isn't what the though was.
Jefferson Lab Still odd that you thought that right away XD
MrUnrealistic9873 Well... yeah.
+Marinus It's five cents worth of nitrogen. It would cost far more to return it to its main storage tank, so dumping it on the floor actually saves money.
5 cents? Where do I buy this
+Jefferson Lab 5 cent??? i need a tank of it! where did you buy this?
+Connor Read he has a big tank but what he's saying is it's only 5 cents *worth* of the *big tank* of liquid nitrogen, there is probably not going to be liquid nitrogen for 5 cents
+Jefferson Lab wait in 2016 or still in 2011? if its in 2016 tell me where to find it XD
+COLE KAMAN That's what it costs us right now.
Half price? HALF PRICE!? Golly, how could the man resist!? HOW CAN ANYONE RESIST?!
That moment when you realize that ball that you've played with or seen all your life is called a Koosh Ball....
who goes to the mall, sees a ball toy, and automatically thinks "wow I wonder what would happen if I put this in liquid nitrogen" ?!?! XD
Genesis Bolanos People who have a supply of liquid nitrogen.

+Genesis Bolanos me, although i see people and think it.
XD
+Matthew Peters That reference made my day.
That wasn't as exciting as I thought it'd be...
I watched this. I watched all of their liquid nitrogen videos. A lot were better than this.
I thought it'd like explode but no.
***** I like exploding things.
at leaast it was fun to watch...
Luke Palmer You do realize JaeMi Lee was kinda being rude for no reason first right? ***** is right, plus this video WAS exciting if you have a passion for science and physics, *he turned a bouncy ball into a pile of ice cubes!*
the common things you hear in science class
"safety first!"
"okay kids, take your notes"
"predictions anyone? before we continue with our experiment?"
Hehe yeh
But I love predictions in science class. It gives you a chance to utilize what you've learned...
+riceboyy_ And "Don't eat that"
I'm watching two people play with Liquid Nitrogen and a Koosh ball.
What is my life
+Sanando Chanda To be fair, it is a giant Koosh ball.
+Jefferson Lab This is the best answer you could have possibly provided.
Jefferson Lab I've seen bigger ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
+Sanando Chanda Not in liquid nitrogen you haven't.
+Jefferson Lab WHERE DO YOU GET THE KOOSH BALL!??!?!
It depends on the amount of nitrogen involved and the amount of time that it's touched. The end results range from nothing to death.
Sub-Zero WINS! FATALITY!
Lol
phoenix-force411 SUB-ZERO VS A 5$ squishy pink ball.
Alex Crane $2.50 remember it was half price! lol
Stephen Dickinson Actually, it was $5. Full price was $10.
"i said i was sorry!" haha, classic steve.

+mutantcy1992 ha...
Who walks by a toy in the mall and says: "Yeah, I'm gonna put that in Nitrogen."
Lol😂😂
Mya A Scientists!

You just murdered an innocent koosh ball D;
nah it committed suicide
"The first thing that popped into my head was: "I wonder what would happen if I put this in liquid nitrogen?"" WHAT?
wow i thought it would be would go squisy... squisy squisy squisy

She's hotter, that makes me cooler than her 😎
+hitul savani I believe the better compliant would be Joanna is hotter than Liquid Nitrogen is cold.
Here is an experiment:
Let the girl take off the googles and see what happens with the views count.
This has already been done. We have many videos where goggles are not being worn.
Jorden Clayson I agree, I think because they know what they're doing, they wanted to cover the surface evenly with liquid N so we'd get that epic result. If they hadn't done that, I'm sure it would've ended like some other neanderthal's experiment and just froze on the bottom.
Jefferson Lab the great thing about wearing googles is that people goggle at you.
Always nice to see scientists having fun :)
Because who doesn't think of dumping balls in liquid nitrogen as soon as they see it?
TH-cam has been recomending this to me for about a year and a half now :/ hhhhh
If anyone is wondering, elastomeric polymers like the one that ball is made of have different properties depending on the temperature they’re subjected to.

It wasnt an experiment, it was an observation.
Vityou It *was* an experiment. A variable was intentionally changed and the effects were observed.
There was no variable changed, it was an observation, like astronomy, still science, but not an experiment. What im trying to say, is that it might be obvious to someone what the ball would do outside of the nitrogen, but you have to test that to make sure there isnt some hidden variable.
Vityou Ummm... the *TEMPERATURE* was changed.
Vityou It was an experiment because ball was added to an environment to observe what would happen to it. (IE: Really cold liquid vs. normal air) The difference is not just the fact there was a variable change, but that this situation was intentionally instigated by the experimenters. If these balls were known to be found in such cold temperatures normally, and could be observed in the environment without removing it from another, that would be a simple observation.
Similarly to lab rats. If you place them in a maze to see how they react, it is an experiment. The rats were placed in there to see how they respond to the environment of the maze. It would only be observation if you happened upon a rat in the wild and watched it for a few hours.

And you sir are the opposite of a king.
I remember watching this as a little kid in the elementary school
Why did you just dump all of the liquid nitrogen on the floor?
Jessica Valirov To get it out of the bowl.
Jefferson Lab Couldn't you have just put it back in the container? Or is it dangerous to do that? Or is liquid nitrogen non-reusable?
Jessica Valirov It could be poured back into the container, but it's safer to just pour it onto the floor. If you look at how things are set-up, the container is at an odd height with respect to the presenters and its opening is much narrower than the bowl. Given this, it's entirely possible that some of the nitrogen could be spilt. If it's spilt, some of it could skitter across the table and end up splashing on the presenters. Now, they are dressed in a way that will protect them from small splashes, but there's no real point in exposing them to that risk if you don't have to. So, you pour it on the floor. The floor is hard to miss and it's far less likely that the nitrogen ends up on the presenters.
Jefferson Lab Hm. It seems like a waste to me though, but better safe than sorry.
Jessica Valirov It only costs about 25 cents per gallon. So, while there is a bit of waste, it's only a few cents worth.
Is it safe to be pouring all that liquid nitrogen all over the floor?
+James Hald Sure, if you know what you're doing. See "Let's Pour Liquid Nitrogen on the Floor!" for details [th-cam.com/video/gvuOhpsI9yQ/w-d-xo.html].
yes it is safe to pour liquid nitrogen jn the floor because it turns into small molecules and it disappears
Well ya cuz since its so cold it turns into a gas basically immediately
+Nathalia Samayoa Sorry but what? "It turns into small molecules and disappears"? It turns into gas, if that's what you mean by "small molecules" and it mixes with the air(which is more than 2/3 nitrogen, anyway), if that's what you mean by "disappear". I guess you're not entirely wrong...
He seems so amused while playing with the ball before the experiment XD
That lab desperately needs new(er) computers. I hope they've had an upgrade since 2011.
Leslie R Nope. Still the same computers.
Who needs new computers when you have freaking liquid nitrogen?
+Jefferson Lab WHATTTTTT?
what they need is a better camera.
+Jefferson Lab Schools in Italy are quite the same. I feel your pain.
Something that sort of disappoints me with Liquid Nitrogen videos is they only ever show something getting frozen. But with something like the Koosh that dramatically changed shape and properties when it was frozen, it makes me curious what the material is like after it warms back up. Does it go back to it's flexible wibbly wobbly state or does the material get ruined after the freezing.

27, why?
Are people allowed to have liquid nitrogen for just... the fun of it in the U.S.A? And if so.. where can I get some?
I think that you need an ID for it.
+Connor Lee In the US you can just buy it, no license required, but you can only get it from very specific places that likely sell it in larger quantities than you'd want, meaning it won't be cheap.
I'd imagine you'd need to be 18+ to purchase it, that's just a guess. I'm not sure on that part.
I know. The gloves, and tanks alone are too expensive for me.
Of course because it's easy to make and there's so much of it. People use it to make ice cream as well.
+Marco The Phoenix A kid at my school brought in liquid nitrogen for an experiment one day.
I feel sorry for the janitor... like did you just pour liquid nitrogen on the floor?
See this: th-cam.com/video/gvuOhpsI9yQ/w-d-xo.html
Thanks!
It just evaporates.
i was like did they just throw it on the floor do they have a bucket down there til i saw this second vid lol
2:45 Did you seriously just pour liquid nitrogen all over your floor?
Yes. Why not? See "Let's Pour Liquid Nitrogen on the Floor!" for details.
It's the most safe thing to do - dispose liquid nitrogen to the atmosphere.
Andrew Potapenkoff
The air is 80% nitrogen .......
Jefferson Lab Why not? Because it's a terrible waste.
Nick Bailey Guess it depends on what your definition of 'terrible' is. The nitrogen that was poured out costs about 25 cents or so. And, even if it were to have been poured back into the storage Dewar, it'll still turn back to a gas. It'll take longer to do so than being poured onto the floor, but is was still 'dead nitrogen walking' at that point.
Why did he pour the nitrogen n the floor?
how do you dispose of liquid nitrogen? does it warm up and dissapear? and can anyone buy the stuff??
1) Generally, you throw it on the floor. See "Let's Pour Liquid Nitrogen on the Floor!"
2) If by 'disappear' you mean 'change into a gas' then, yes.
3) Anyone with money, yes.
***** It depends on how much you want. For us, it's about $1 a gallon.
***** You can't have it in a sealed container, as the pressure will eventually build to the point where the container explodes. If care is taken to prevent a crosswind from blowing over it, the open mouth Dewar can hold nitrogen for about a day. The 10 liter Dewar we use, which isn't seen in this video, can hold nitrogen for about a week, if the Dewar is pre-cooled first.
It just evaporates, most of the earths atmosphere is made up of nitrogen gas
***** In an insulated container (a Dewar) that allows excess gas to escape.
This intro gives me so much nostalgia
i wonder why 12,000 dislikes?
Why wouldn't they like it being half price?

The scientific side of TH-cam :
Science is beautiful but sometimes disappointing. Is it possible to make Jurassic Park a real thing ?
They have stylish goggles, heavy duty gloves, LIQUID NITROGEN and matching shirts but still couldn't find a more suitable science lab than this...
Watch "Jefferson Lab Virtual Field Trip." Maybe you'll find a location that better meets your standards.
11 years later and the video is high quality
I do wish we had been shooting HD back then...
People get so upset over people just having fun. If it's 100,000 dollars so what it's not anyone else's business
So Where is that Giant Kush Ball
+Burton Boarder Now? A little bit is here here, a little bit is there. Little bits of giant koosh ball are everywhere.
I didn't think anyone would answer this comment
"Well time to get rid of this liquid nitrogen"
**pours on the ground**
One word: nostalgia
My parents' dog dropped a slobbery Koosh ball in the snow, and an hour later, had made a snowball 3' in diameter.
TheZswader Looked like the base of a really good snowman, and the dog was a miserable wreck.
ahh alright then
+Docktor Jim I doubt the diameter of a koosh ball is 3 inches.
+DefinitelyNot Blitzcrank 3' = 3 feet. 3" = 3 inches.
Jefferson Lab I'm amazed how often I run into people who don't know " means inches and ' means feet.
It was like an alien lifeform dying a cruel and unusual death.
Why'd you just pour out the liquid nitrogen on the floor?
To get it out of the bowl.
Wouldn't that make a huge mess?
Maria Sincere Would it? Have a look at "Let's Pour Liquid Nitrogen on the Floor!"
Ohhh makes so much more sense!!
Thank you!
Jefferson Lab Ohh makes so much more sense!!!!
Thank you :)
This is why science is so amazing.
I didn't expect it to go rock-hard and brittle, though.
YLW Pyro anything goes rock hard and shatters with liquid nitrogen
hagala thekid Not exactly true.
to save you some time next time you see something and wonder "ooooo what will happen if I put this in liquid nitrogen" the answer is, it'll freeze every time
+Kinetic Silver That's not entirely true. An air filled balloon does not, for example.
+Jefferson Lab The shock at the fact you reply to a comment on a 2011 video is palpable.
+Team Abyss but the comment he is replying to is only 4 days old.
+Aldar Goa-Baden Hardly matters. Old videos simply shouldn't be monitored rofl
Team Abyss
wow 5 posts. this is why I hate posting from my phone. lol.
but anyway who's to say they didn't just stumble across the video and commented on it, like you just did?
With this amount of liquid nitrogen evaporating, it's going to produce noticeable volume of gas. Won't this lower the concentration of O2 enough to make people dizzy? In smaller room, at least.
There isn't nearly enough being spilt in that room for that to be a concern. See "Let's Pour Liquid Nitrogen on the Floor!" for details.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think your lab is a elementary school computer lab
+SmashVideo s 'Jefferson Lab' Google it.
"I was at the mall, and I saw this. And the first thing I thought was, I wonder what would happen if I put it in liquid nitrogen."
All I'll say is: it's a good job you weren't in the pet shop.
Why'd you just drop out the liquid nitrogen on the floor
To get it out of the bowl. Watch "Let's Pour Liquid Nitrogen on the Floor!" to see what happens to it.
Liquid nitrogen cannot stay liquid in our hot environment, it melts off soon enough. The floor is too big and hot to do any damage to it. If you see what happens when you dump liquid nitrogen on the floor, it fizzles off and collects dust. Helpful for cleaning I guess.
mattpunk s. ok thx, i know the propriertu of nitrogen... but i think is useless to drop oot
Because nitrogen evaporates into our air.

Would the type of gas within the "koosh ball" as a variable affect anything in this situation? For instance do some gases give up their heat more readily or are more easily compressed than others?
+blazednlovinit The end result would be the same, but different gases could lead to different rates of contraction.
Jefferson Lab Great video, thanks for the reply :)
did you dump the liquid nitrogen on the floor?
+Nathan Grauer Yes.
WHY???????
+Nathan Grauer To get it out of the bowl.
+Jefferson Lab xD
Just casually dumps liquid nitrogen on the floor no biggie
It evaporated into gas the second it hit the ground.
+Christine Lee I know I was like: "0.0 well if they can do it so can I! *dumps liquid nitrogen everywhere!* "It's fine, people in lab coats did it!"
+Celtic Huntress We weren't wearing lab coats.
oops, sry, I missed that detail. BTW I hope you guys didn't take that offensively!
How DID I miss that
that's the first thought?
+Tru Ninja Something had to be first.
+Jefferson Lab first thought...
HEY A KOOSH BALL!
+Joshua Pratt same hahahahahhahahahhahhahahahahahhahahhahhahahahhahahhahahhahahahhahahahahahhahhahhahaha and in my another thought is "Where can I buy it?" hahhahahahahahaahahhaahahahahhahahahhahaha!
2:25 There is something of an obligation when dumping chemicals on something to see what happens to chuckle just a little. It's like venting pressure for mad science.
I like the personalities of the people i see in the video.
Girl is kinda like wanting to do actual stuff, meanwhile the guy just has fun with all resources he has.
We can all take from this video that the PROPER way of the disposal of liquid nitrogen is pouring it on the ground. The more you know :)
There's really nothing wrong with it, as long as you know what you're doing. See th-cam.com/video/gvuOhpsI9yQ/w-d-xo.html for details.
I wonder if the light still worked xD
EmeraldMinecartMC It did, and still does.
Thats impressive!
This is going to be recommended to everyone again
What are you doing to that alien, you monsters!
"so what can we predict will happen, using what we already know?"
Me: Can't i just do it and be surprised instead of knowing what will happen and possibly being disappointed when the prediction is something i didn't want to happen.?
If your prediction turns out to be wrong, wouldn't that mean that you're surprised?
R.I.P Giant Koosh Ball ;(
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
after 5 years this video keeps getting recommended to me
Josh and after 5 months again
woah O.o
liquid nitrogen pouring over the table is the coolest thing ever.
Although the video is called "Let's Pour Liquid Nitrogen on the Floor!" I think you get a better view of it on the table there.
Jefferson Lab thanks :)
Can Science tell me why you still had eMac's?
Because they still do the job that's required of them. No need to replace them if they do what they need to do.
where can i get some liquid nitrogen
+K Man Assuming you have the training and equipment to safely transport, store and use it, try contacting a local welding supply shop.
+Jefferson Lab oh snap, i did not think you would reply
what would you need
+K Man Ideally, a Dewar flask to hold it. A pick-up truck with an open bed to transport it. Goggles, gloves, long pants, close-toe shoes to wear whilst using it. As far as training, that comes from being guided by someone who has experience with it.
+Jefferson Lab any of the scientists over there care to train me
+K Man Liquid nitrogen training is conducted in person (there's a practical aspect to the course). If you're physically close to Jefferson Lab, and are old enough, we might be able to work something out.
I like to binge watch robotics, mechanisms, and pure science on TH-cam sometimes, this interested me actually. I once went to a science show, and the guy did pretty much the same thing as this, but with a rubber ball that they use for sports and exercises, shattered to bits. He passed bits on to the audience to pass and look at, was pretty cool. Thanks for posting this!
real
what if he replies...?
What if who replies?
"here at the lab"
Why are they doing this in the computer lab?
lehman 'The Lab" refers to Jefferson Lab, the name of the channel and the physical location where this was taking place. Search for it on Google Maps. It's a real place/thing.
lehman You did say it was the computer lab. They never specified what kind of lab.
you have a gas substance that can freeze almost anything to the point of breaking and you talk about a sale on a toy that is like 2 dollars
Nathan Coffman Five.
Jefferson Lab ya I think giving them the number 5 is way to expensive
Nathan Coffman its not a gas substance. its liquid. that should be pretty obvious since the whole... you know... lets drop a ball in LIQUID nitrogen?
STOP DOING THAT. THAT KOOSH IS ALIVE. #STOPKOOSHVIOLENCE
um,are you a koosh ball expert? I have a couple questions
15,000 subs no videos? ok ...... what is a koosh ball?
i saw a baby, the first thing i thought was "hmm, i wonder what would happen if i put that in liquid nitrogen?"
Disturbing.
We need to get rid of the liquid nitrogen..yeah just poor it on the floor there buddy. xD
Well, we can't very well pour it on the ceiling, now can we?
As soon as I saw this video I got subscribe
No!!! You are hurting it!
It was squirming before it died and you were laughing. It's this kind of violence on internet that is ruining our youth. :)
I love that sound when nitrogen hits the floor.
You know when your a scientist when you see a koosh ball and want to put it in liquid nitrogen
I wonder how old this video is? Look at the computers ha ha ha
this sounds like a video my teacher puts on Dx
This has an astounding amount of views. How.
+Dakota Waddell One at a time... One at a time.
I like how they imply scientists sometimes just buy random things and do other random things with them for the heck of it.
It's three in the morning... why am I watching this...
Because, giant koosh ball?
+Jefferson Lab omg I love this this is my first video about yo
Fascinating
I simply just love science reply if you love it too
Duckie Holyan Me too :P
Duckie Holyan I WILL NOT REPL.......oh wait
+Duckie Holyan I doo!
+Duckie Holyan j
+Duckie Holyan OFCOURSE I LOVE IT IS THERE ANYONE WHO DOSENT LOVE IT ?!
this is what i love about liquid nitrogin: you can just pour it on the floor and it just turns into steam!!
