You can do this with acetone and dry ice, too. Used it to cold brand cattle. It blanches the hair pigment so the brand shows up white. Minimal discomfort for the animal and very little chance of infection or complication. Also in my undergrad chem class my professor, James Marshall, gargled liquid nitrogen AND stuck his finger in it. KING.
@@charliesrandomthings5457 I was kicking myself for that too… the only reason I thought was because this ice I had was individually packaged and was letting off enough vapor to lead me to believe so. Thank you for the comment, this was a fun memory.
It works a lot better if you do a few things differently; #1 insulating the outside of the container holding the solution with something like an empty metal bowl or some styrofoam will help reduce the rate of heat transfer with the open air, #2 isopropyl alcohol works fine, but it works even better if the concentration is closer to 93%, #3 using pure acetone (nail polish remover and paint thinner) works better than any type of rubbing alcohol, I don't know exactly why that is though. Great video nonetheless! I'm just offering some tips based on what I've been told about at-home ice baths without liquid nitrogen or helium
The word liquid nitrogen brings back the memory of dad bringing home from work to show my brother and I what it does before he gave us a blob of mercury.
And then one day, Action Lab made a hoverboard using a magnetically conductive metal platform, a skateboard without the wheels, a few superconductors, bootleg liquid nitrogen, a makeshift coolant tank, and an altered refrigeration coil out of a produce closet in a Costco.
I've been loving your channel so far!!! Some suggestions... maybe to explain a little bit more what is going on through the process (like a teacher) taking into account many people (including me ) don't know a thing about science jaja... and also to emphasize and be very clear with the precautions that must be taken in case anyone wants to do it at home

-28 Fahrenheit doesn't sound like much, but it's a liquid so it freezes stuff hundreds of times faster than air. Still, I wouldn't want to live in Yakutsk :D
I don't see why not. Ethanol has a very low freezing point also, which is the reason he used rubbing alcohol. You just couldn't use water obviously since it would immediately freeze.
I'd like to do this with my kids, are there any other inherent dangers I should be aware of? I know not to breathe it, or touch it, and other warnings I should be aware of?
you can breath a bit of it but don't inhale it because it has poisonous gasses only touch it when using work gloves that are thick if not it can cause SEVERE burns good luck 😊
@@lukefinlayson8331 thanks for the reply, but I already decided on a different expirement. We're going to break open a bunch of old thermometers and play with the mercury inside, we're really looking forward to it!
for the people who are understandably confused: there is no liquid nitrogen being created, its just a stupid name of the mixture of alcohol and dry ice

I'm amazed that you can still buy dry ice in the U/S. Many developed countries banned its sale, to the public, decades ago. It can only be bought commercially. I haven't seen any, except from a CO2 extinguisher, for over 20 years.
Yes and No.. The vapors are flammable and alcohol needs to be warm for it to change from liquid to gas. The Co2 would extinguish any flame that came into contact with the slush. But after the dry ice does it's job no more Co2 things start going back to normal.

Why is he smiling when he tells me I'll burn all the skin off my hands? 😂😂
He looks very high
Alc fumes from this might of been why
Lol that’s exactly what I said!
Some people are masochistic 🤷♂️
He looks BLASTED in this video. Which is weird, because I think he's Mormon....
Lol imagine using this as your ammunition in a watergun fight.... Freeze Ray!!!
🥶 frostbite!

Lol! That would be bad!

Acetone is too toxic.
The smile tells it all.
I just tried this thinking I had dry ice. I took all the precautions. It turns out I just had normal ice. What a waste of isopropyl alcohol. 😂
How did you mix them up? one is a solid Co2and the other is solid water?

@@charliesrandomthings5457 he probably didn't heat it up enough to keep it dry

But how do I make poor man's dry ice 😕😕😕
Buy it from a grocery store for a few bucks, most of them carry it if you ask. Walmart/Costco are safe bets.
@@kyleo883 thx but I don't live where you think😅
@@taslimaripa2287 where do you live then?
Exactly what was on my mind too. Maybe the dude needs to make another vid on how to make a poor man's dry ice
Spray a fire extinguisher in a cloth bag then you'll get dry ice for free

Good question
I weezed

He always smiles.
Just stfu he can smile
95-100% alcohol doesn't just get colder, it also keeps the solution in liquid form and not so viscous, like the 70% you used in the video. Thanks
lamoa

Nice job... Starting off with the safety aspect.
Yeah true that.
1:21 I loved that smile in ur face
I like how he sounds like he just doesnt wanna be there compared to his videos today
I’ve noticed that with a lot of people just starting out. They get more confident and professional the more videos they make
Can this solution rapidly cool a bottle of soda or water?
Yeah probably.
Can you use ethanol alcohol instead? so when you freeze food it will be edible
I don't see why not. Ethanol has a very low freezing point also, which is the reason he used rubbing alcohol. You just couldn't use water obviously since it would immediately freeze.
Yeah probably.
Hey thats interesting but looks a little too dangerous to mess with. Thanks!
Cap
@@ngfreshmanfootball6470 clap
Yeah no 🤬 it is incredibly unstable.
Says Don't touch the liquid yet proceeds to stir it with bare hands :*/
the cloudiness is due to 30% water in the isopropyl alchohal
Dude learn how to spell properly.
Nitrogen is about 70% of our atmosphere, so the only problem with making it is the amounts energy required to condense the Nitrogen into liquid form.
Okay I didn’t know that thanks for letting me know.
+1 for the awesome explanations in the description

Yeah
Pour
Can I use this substance to make liquid oxygen?
Marcus_ JDMK no doesn’t get nearly cold enough.
Yes you can!! Pass oxygen through a hollow solenoid through the solution of liquid nitrogen , then the liquid nitrogen will turn into liquid oxygen
Maybe.
I can finally cool down my ice tea quicker
That’s Hilarious?
Yes
Very Nice

pretty big pupils you got there, mate :D
Should have used 99% instead of 70
Yes correct then it would have stayed in liquid state.
Pretty cool! You are a chemical engineer? (Found you in Twitter)
Yes, that's right! But I'm a student of all sciences and a physicist at heart:)
I showed my son this video. He loves science. I hope he continues this. Great video and looking forward to the next one!!
Obviously not since the dumb ass stuck his bare hand in the container to stir it up!
Bg music is my new jam.
Will this work for trash can rockets
They're using a jet engine turbine and op lock tracker like when you guide ball in Mario golf
hes crazy he just said it will burn your skin off...... lets mix it with a table spoon lol
Only negative 28?? Heck, it gets colder than that every winter here in North Dakota
thanks
Awesome Experiment video
Can you use this in an ice cream maker?
if you try to use it on food, can you eat it?
Amazing things 👍🏻

RWBHere why would they ban it? If people are dumb enough to misuse it, it’s their fault, that’s like banning matches.
This will make an awesome science experiment for my homeschooled kiddos!!
Oh, they'll have so much fun freezing off their skin! (Seriously, make sure you supervise them)
Bro I'm am home school and I'm doing this lol
Can we use this for food as a presentation ?
I would not recommend it.
Yes you can
I think they are using more methods
how long can it last? anyone please...
The problem is in the Uk you can’t even get dry ice so if you want Nitogren your fucked
Fire extinguisher in a pillow cover and you get dry ice.
Bro yes you can. Just go and buy a Co2 fie extinguisher. Problem solved.
I thought that was bart from donut media lmao
100% ethonal is hard to get. I’m able to get 99% from an industrial source

It is called isopropyl alcohol, otherwise known as rubbing alcohol.

How log can you keep it???
May be that's for me
Is this supper flammable
Yes and No.. The vapors are flammable and alcohol needs to be warm for it to change from liquid to gas. The Co2 would extinguish any flame that came into contact with the slush. But after the dry ice does it's job no more Co2 things start going back to normal.
Nope

Hi i just have a question. Can i use ethyl alcohol instead of isopropyl?
Sorry but no
This is normal ice or nitrogen ice
I mean, liquid nitrogen isn't all that expensive though.
It should be.
