Liquid Nitrogen Into A Swimming Pool

- At Penguicon 4 in 2006, Nifty Guest Howard Tayler of www.SchlockMercenary.com took this video of Penguicon co-founder Rob Landley throwing a bowl of liquid nitrogen in the swimming pool, and the resulting billow of fog.
I swear I was thinking to myself "i wonder if anyone would be dumb enough to jump in? Nah noo way" ...I was wrong. Mass facepalm.
It is totally when it is in the water !
Totally harmless*
She really wanted that 20 bucks
+Jesse Pinkman thats not true
me too, 😂😂
I'm the guy who shot the video. This was our SECOND experiment with LN2 in the pool. The first batch went in the hot-tub, and we lamented not having filmed it. The cloud of vapor was amazing.
If you attend Penguicon, and they're having Liquid Nitrogen Ice-Cream ("instant" ice-cream) on the same floor as the hotel pool, there's a good chance of a repeat performance. It's much more impressive in real-life than on TH-cam.
Haha reminding you of this video a decade and 4 years ago

How?

@@TheNyanShadow bruh
@@TheNyanShadow nah, the gas pushed away the Oxygen in the air making him unconscious and then drowning him
This is a terrible idea. If youre close enough you can suffocate easily. The reaction with water causes the oxygen to be displaced so rapidly. And most people dont even know they are suffocating because it wont feel the same as any other lack of oxygen they can, or would, experience in their normal lives
please stop bein a smartass thanks
The air we breath is 79% nitrogen I'm sure they were and still are fine.

TheMedicalOfficer It's not the nitrogen that we breath, its the 21% oxygen. When the nitrogen displaces the oxygen in the air further you can suffocate.
***** You don't know anything k...
This was the first video I watched on TH-cam, way back in 2007 with my original account.
One of the cool things I can say about this video as I was actually there as a little kid and is a 33-year-old adult I will say that is one of the coolest memories I’ve ever had as a kid thank you 🙏
no because this happened in 2006 and that was 16 years ago which would make you 17 at the time. 17 is not a little kid.
@@boredwithadhd it is a little kid... just give it time and you will see...
I didn't realise this video was from so long ago 😅
@@boredwithadhdThey do this multiple times
@@RP944 I'm 24. 17 is not a little kid.
awh i was hoping it was gonna freeze the entier pool xD
Same xD
+ForemostCrab7 Not even remotely enough liquid nitrogen to do that. They would need a hell of a lot more than that little bowl.

0:18 like that scene from Catching Fire "RUN, THE FOG IS POISON"
It looks like the clouds in the sky O.O
+Jackie Gonzalez that's exactly what it is:-) clouds are just condensed water vapor created by changes in temperature and air pressure - that's exactly what the super cold nitrogen recreates.
+MinecraftFTW123 yes, there's nitrogen in there as well - it expands and diffuses as it boils.
+MinecraftFTW123
The nitrogen was fully vaporized, that is gaseous, so it was. The Earth's atmosphere is 78% nitrogen, which is no more visible than is oxygen. You see clouds in the sky when droplets of liquid water have condensed onto dust particles. Water is always present in the atmosphere, but is also invisible in its gaseous state.
+Jackie Gonzalez
The fog over the pool is precisely the same as a cloud in the sky, apart from it being tiny in comparison. And fog is a cloud which is at or near the Earth's surface. In all three cases, you're seeing water condensing into droplets on dust particles.
+smart451cab thank bill bye the science guy
0:36 "Who want's to see the pool on fire?" Ignorance at it's finest.
Really more of an attempt to breathe life into the Jackass franchise.
This has to be a prank of some sort?
Can a chemist confirm what would happen in reality if someone jumped into a pool containing liquid nitrogen, chlorine etc. ?
Neil Baker It's no prank. The liquid nitrogen starts boiling immediately and evaporates into the air (white smoke). There is no reaction of nitrogen with water due to its inertness, it's completely harmless.
Marobin66 you learn something new every day!
Thank you for clarifying that
Marobin66 true - except the white smoke is water vapor; fog. the nitrogen is so cold water droplets condense - it's the same principal that makes you see fog on your breath in the winter.
Neil Baker The thing that worries me here is that nitrogen is heavier than oxygen, so once it's all boiled into vapor, almost immediately, there could be a few inches above the water where there's an absence of oxygen for just a little while until the air in the room moves around a bit. Jumping in, and disappearing into the mist could have lead to passing out and no one immediately noticing.
Matt Cournoyer this quantity of nitrogen will disperse almost immediately. the risk of suffocation is almost non existent - which is why the guy holding the bowl itself, both closer to his face, for longer AND a higher concentration of nitrogen, didn't pass out.
any vapor hugging the surface of the pool will be disrupted A - by the guy jumping in and B - when he comes back up. Also, nitrogen won't create an "absence of oxygen" it will just reduce the amount of breathable air - directly proportional both in time and scope to the amount added in the first place.
there was no real risk here. i mean, if you want to get real creative then maybe whatever risk is created by obscuring your view of the pool or the person who jumped in - i guess he could bang his head on the bottom or if he did actually become in danger it would be difficult to see... but you could make these exact same arguments against swimming at night.
My cousin showed me this when I was 8 and I've never been the same since
One things looks very risky: What if some of the nitrogen spilled or splashed on the guy when he was tossing the liquid into the pool? Seems like it would be pretty easy to get serious frostbite. He wasn't wearing any gloves or protective gear.
I drink it every day and I'm okay.
he would remain unnaffected by it bacuse of the leidenfrost effect
Johan
Correct! Not that I knew this, but I found it out from the "suggested videos" links.
Now I want some liquid nitrogen to play with!
so do i :)
Erm what do you mean the guy jumped it anyway ...
That's dangerous not wearing rubber gloves when handling liquid nitrogen
Well, think of it this way, if it stays on your gloves long enough your hands not gonna get much protection from a thin piece of rubber, your hand will freeze under it too, besides, if you get a little on your hand the leidenfrost effect means the liquid nitrogen will simply slip off of your warm hand
Alex Knight Thanks for reinforcing my point... :p
I thought the whole pool would freeze instantly
It would if there was sufficient amount of LIQUID NITROGEN.
Knowledge259
Read about the Leidenfrost effect you two
TG9910 I read about Leidenfrost Effect, but still , I think that the whole pool would freeze if there was sufficient amount of LN2. If you have different opinions. could you please explain it to me???
Yaffa. Y Well, you could freeze the pool but you would need to keep pouring more LN2 to cool down the water enough, otherwise the warmth of the water will make the LN boil.
Only in the movies. In real life, there wasn't even enough LN2 to affect the surface temperature by more than a tiny fraction of a degree.
Best vape trick of 2006!!!11!!!!1!!!!
This is pretty damn high definition for 2006 too!
"Twenty bucks for the first person to jump in!"
I was expecting a Terminator 2 scene when she jumped in. very disappointed.
How many pixels does your potato record at? I mean it's a good recording device that's why I want to know how many it has.
+Bassfisher_15 did you notice that this video is closing in on 10 years old? How good was your phone back in 2006?
+Bassfisher_15
How many times have you posted that exact comment in other videos?
we get it, you vape.
You would need about 55 gallons of liquid nitrogen to change the temperature of the pool by only 1 degree (C). You would need about 1500 gallons to freeze the pool. The amount they added would have no noticeable effect on the temperature of the water.
*AW YEAH!!! SCIENCE BITCH!!!!!*
Isaac Marziali what does that have to do with science?
........
Lol
Isaac Marziali he has a right to his opinion. Just. No.
Isaac Marziali Do you?
is it safe to jump into a liquid nitrogen pool?
i admit its SUUUUUPER COOL!!! but... isnt it a health hazard?
hehe the nitrogen heated up really quick and vaporized, it would take a lot more liquid nitrogen to cool that pool even a few degrees. And breathing nitrogen vapor is fine as long s you get some oxygen. about 70% of the air you breath is nitrogen already.
TheNewsDepot Thanks for the explanation! It helps a lot. And yes I know that the air is already 70% nitrogen and 20% oxygen.
because u can choke if there isnt enough oxygen. If the nitrogen smoke acts like a blanket on the surface of the water, when you come up to breathe, you might not be able to get enough oxygen. Also, may i ask another question? wat about if u use dry ice? and swim while it is still "melting"? wouldnt it be bad if u step on one? both can cause skin irritations/ problems right?
Rei Shinnai Well the dry ice IS actually dangerous because CO2 displaces oxygen and you could suffocate as you mentioned, but nitrogen and oxygen do not displace one another, they mix, so as long as the surface over the pool started with enough oxygen to breath, the nitrogen would mix with it instead of displacing it, you might get less than normal, but it would take a crap ton more than a bowl's worth of liquid nitrogen to displace even a fifth of the oxygen over the pool and it would very quickly be forced to mix with the rest of the atmosphere as they are of roughly the same weight.
CO2 however is heavier than the atmosphere and will linger on the water much longer before being absorbed into the air and so you do run a real risk of running out of oxygen....if there is a lot of dry ice in the water anyway.
TheNewsDepot Curiosity question here when you throw LN2 into the pool the smoke you see is water vapor correct. Pools are treated with chlorine and if you boil water with chlorine in it the chlorine is released as a gas wich can be deadly is chlorine gas released in this reaction since the water is essintely flash boiling
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
god, i hate people...
Yup, those onlookers look CRAZAY!
Amazing that she is still alive
Exactly, it's same effect if you pour water onto an already super hot piece of metal. Glad someone realizes it.
Every guest at the holiday inn gets a free bowl of liquid nitrogen.
i bet the guy who jumped in felt cool.
Anonland It was a girl
The title must be "How to Hide Your Swimming Pool Using Liquid Nitrogen In Case Of Alien Invasion"
Don't mind me, I'm just carrying liquid nitrogen wearing flip-flops
There is a video on TH-cam explaining why - But in many cases, it's actually safer to handle liquid nitrogen without gloves, due to the Leidenfrost effect.
Amazing to read these comments and immediately tell who's worked with liquid nitrogen in the past and those who don't have a clue or just need to be educated on the substance. LN2 can be safely used if you take the same precautions that you would for handling any other extremely cold liquid PLUS a little common sense!
Now someone needs to fill a pool with gasoline and swim in it.
The first liquid nitrogen video on TH-cam
That's a common misconception about liquid nitrogen. It doesn't actually 'instantly' freeze things, in the same way and for the same reason that sticking a pot of boiling water in your freezer doesn't instantly cool it off. Thermal exchanges require time.
Oldest video I have seen on TH-cam 10 years wow!
We back at it again with very old random videos as usual in recommendation
Daddy is the pool cold?
No son its only -200 Degrees Fahrenheit.
Dive right in!
now this would be a great way to make a movie.
They did this at my friends school with dry ice. Somebody slipped in so 2 other students jumped in to help him, all three of them died.
@knaxon In a swimming pool the amount of chlorine is quite low and therefor not really toxic - think of it: Even salt has chlorine, your stomache acid is a liquid also containing chlorine ions. And so on.... And throwing nitrogen in this pool causes nothing but an intersting picture to look at. Around 78 percent of the air you breeth contains nitrogen. The nitrogen even won't get dissolved in the water.
My recommendations do be kickin' again tho
*The algorithm has spoken, you shall be recommended*
Imagine somebody coming out of the pool then all the sudden they get scared by the liquid nitrogen and fall back in lol
10 years on, and people still don't get that the "Who wants to see the pool on fire?" line was a joke. XD
this would be the BEST halloween party ever
nothing better than an anime convention
the whole bowl? YEAH
i'm glad she didnt die of asphyxiation
Whoooeee! Inside footage of the best of geek parties. Hugh must be weeping.
saw a video of 8 people getting hospitalized for doing the exact same thing
That's an interesting question, but possibly the wrong one. For an example, at the peak of Mt. Everest the percent Oxygen in virtually unchanged from that of sea level. The main difference, and the reason climbers are required to carry their oxygen canisters with them, is that because the air is thinner, there is less total Oxygen available to them. Percentage is relative to the entire volume of air at any specific altitude, and as the total pressure decreases, so does the total Oxygen quantity.
so this is how they make scary lakes in horror movies
@DinoRawRainbow the liquid nitrogen was only on the surface. you can put your hand in liquid nitrogen if you remove it very fast. its just like a flame... you can run your hand through it without being burned. so when she jumped in she fell through the nitrogen fast enough to not get frozen and her impact pushed the nitrogen away from her so when she came up she was not in the nitrogen
It's not bad in itself: nitrogen is naturally occurring in your body and the atmosphere. The reason liquid nitrogen is a problem is because the temperature required to keep nitrogen in a liquid form is so cold it will burn your skin. Doctors use it to freeze off warts all the time (I had it done on my face 4 times as a child, and it wasn't pleasant), as well as for flash preservation.
Jagermeister recently got in a shit ton of trouble for doing this at a party they were throwing in Mexico. The liquid nitrogen reacts with the chlorine in the pool creating poisonous nitrogen trichloride gas. And someone paid that girl $20 to gas herself. You guys are lucky no one got hurt.
Draodan The chlorine in the swimming pools does not react with nitrogen in the air. The air is already 78% nitrogen, so you would think that if were to form at all, it would already be formed in pools. Basic chemistry dictates that generally the warmer the reactants, i.e. the more energy you have, the further along the reaction progresses (or a higher yield). Nitrogen trichloride can form from urine and the chlorine in the water, so you stand a much higher chance of poisoning from having kids in the water. Plus nitrogen trichloride is an unstable chemical, forming nitrogen and chlorine, not the other way around. The reason it forms with urine is that it is not pure nitrogen gas but amines that react differently than nitrogen does.
Steve Lent
Lol just look up "Jagermeister pool party". Explain that.
Draodan The nitrogen vaporizes forming a layer of pure nitrogen near the surface of the pool. Because it's colder than regular air, it's more dense and sinks while the oxygen-containing air is displaced upwards. The partygoers asphyxiated because there was no oxygen to breathe. But you could have read that on the "Jagermeister pool party" video.
I am quoting from one of the comments of the article at the New York Daily News:
"Liquid nitrogen poured in a pool is not going to create a chlorine fog.
What likely happened is the people in the pool were asphyxiated when the oxygen in the air was displaced by nitrogen gas.
I used to work with liquid nitrogen and this is a well known risk should one spill a Dewar flask of the stuff."
Draodan They had trouble because some idiot thought they needed four barrels of the stuff dumped into the pool. Tossing a bowl full of the stuff into a pool isn't going to have nearly the same effect. That's like saying that a person lighting a firecracker is irresponsible because you saw a video where someone set off a stick of dynamite.
***** haha - outstanding. this is the best argument yet.
I don't know where people are getting this chlorine gas nonsense. nitrogen is the most abundant gas on earth, if tossing a bowl of it into a pool would release "toxic gasses" the entire state of florida would be.. wait - maybe that's exactly the problem with florida?
;-p
@QEDgauge the boiling point for nitrogen is so low that the temperature probably didn't even change. you'd just have a cloud of denser nitrogen near the surface, which isn't all that big a deal, our atmosphere is already ~78% nitrogen
What a great idea to wear sandals while carrying a big bowl of liquid nitrogen
All of the bacteria that were in that pool were like....WTF!?!?!!!!!
man that guy wouldnt have even finished that $20 offer if i was there
I love how the girl in the background said who wants to see the pool on fire. hehe
Handling liquid nitrogen without even shoes, nice going.
Carrying liquid nitrogen with no gloves and wearing open toed sandals...genius.
I don't think he would have been harmed if he fell in face first. He'd have to submerge himself into the actual liquid nitrogen. Once it was introduced to the pool which is much warmer, the liquid nitrogen boiled and evaporated (which is why this is all foggy). The pool might be kind of cold though.

I'm in the wierd part of youtube again
Lol imagine if that liquid nitrogen froze the whole pool and that guy dived onto ice.
Liquid Nitrogen?
Quick someone call Schwarzenegger, the T-1000 is stuck again
So long as you avoid the cloud you're good. The cloud is the only area where you're going to have a lack of oxygen, as it will be almost 100% nitrogen.
Mind you thats several/multiple jars of N3. It's clear from the size of the cloud that it displaced a lot of air. For clarities sake, the Nitrogen did NOT react with the Chlorine. Its true that if it was Ammonia it could have made something like Nitrogen Trichloride, but not with N3.
The amount they dumped in this video, does not look to be especially risky (though if they had any trouble breathing, they should get out)
nitrogen is colourless, the visible cloud is condensed water vapour
So that's how The Undertaker makes his entrance down the aisle!
liquid n2 isn't going to induce frostbite instantly; damage would take more than 5 seconds or so. Check out nurdrage's liquid n2 vid, he explains the leidenfrost effect really well.
Then a giant mutated humanoid fish monster climbs out.
the nitrogen immediately evaporates. Highly recommend doing this yourself. LN is cheaper than milk! make sure to jump in after like in the video.
@xriscross1
Yeah. This probably made part of the pool freeze, but only a small part which let it melt fast. Also this stuff is so cold it probably made the pool flash freeze or something. It probably didn't become ice because the stuff was too cold to properly form ice, which is usually formed slower than that.
Oh shit...Spike the gremlin just jumped in the pool!
The Nitrogen itself is not toxic the dangerous part is that the took nice deep breaths of the nitrogen which in turn didn't allow the right amount of oxygen to the brain.
There's no way you could freeze either the pool or the swimmer fast enough with that tiny amount of liquid nitrogen. Even if you poured it directly on him it wouldn't have much effect, his body heat would cause it to evaporate.
Source: I worked a -lot- with liquid nitrogen.
That would be awesome effects for a movie!
Nitrogen isn't poisonous. When it dissipates and displaces the oxygen and the levels drop is when it is dangerous. In an area this size however for that amount of nitrogen, it dissipates adequately. I still wouldn't recommend sitting in those clouds taking deep breaths, but as long as you have a higher O2 concentration air source available nearby, you will be fine.
Ahhh.... So this is how they make the smoke in a vampire movie
No. It might drop the temp by a TINY amount.
Think about it... Pool has hundreds of litres of water, heated. It was only a small bowl of liquid nitrogen. The heat of the pool caused the liquid nitrogen to boil, which resulted in the mist.
Someone said who wants to see. The pool on fire
+Jazmin Amis Some girl*
the dude carrying it was in flipflops..smart ass idea!!!!
Lol, it can be very dangerous, but for short durations, and not too great an amount,
I would suspect anything too damaging.
You can actually submerge your hand in liquid nitrogen for a short time without any actual damage. It's called the Leidenfrost effect. Because the evaporation point is so low, your hand evaporates the liquid nitrogen in its immediate vicinity so quickly that it creates an insulating buffer around your hand. You can do the same thing with a hot pan, and little bit of water
on the thumbnail, at first i though this video was about a Pool that's 100% filled with liquid Nitrogen !
And that's how you start a pool party.
That little of liquid nitrogen would not freeze that whole entire pool.
@iRainSunshinee nope, the liquid nitrogen only scattered on the surface of the water, it didn't sink into it. If it did, you would see the water being turned to ice.
@zocom009 I actually read an article about a group of scientists trying to promote this idea. You use liquid nitrogen to smother the fire, and you can put the fire out without the building or contents of the building suffering water damage. Brilliant idea for fire in places like libraries and museums.
i remember watching this as a little kid
It was a bad idea to jump in there. Liquid nitrogen can form capsules hovering above the water. If one gets into your eye... you get the idea.
No fear ladies,... Super Dork is here!
nitrogen evaporates quickly. you're better off spilling it directly to your feet, rather than having it be absorbed by your shoes, and your feet would soak in it
I would half expect that guy to just land on a block of floating ice xD
Liquid nitrogen just turns to gas when it hits something warm - especially pool water. It was probably completely boiled away immediately, having no effect on the water.
