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.
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.

Yaaaah this guy is a genius!!! Liquid nitrogen made from dry ice and isopropyl your a genius!!! Thank you so much for making this wonderful video! I love ❤️ it!💗 thinking about using it to make a poor man's cooler fridge and freezer!!!
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.
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'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!
-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'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.

Acetone is too toxic.
The smile tells it all.
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!

😂
Lol! That would be bad!
@Government Lies vs my piss. It’s like lava.
Sounds *very* cool.
(get it?)
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
@@obituki limo
Good to know!
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?

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.
Nice job... Starting off with the safety aspect.
Yeah true that.

His smile is hilarious. It basically reads "this is extremely dangerous and we probably shouldn't do this but we're going to anyways."
Hey thats interesting but looks a little too dangerous to mess with. Thanks!

+1 for the awesome explanations in the description
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.
3:34 did you say: "porn o porn"
He said 'finally pour'
He said poor a little more
@@obituki yep
Yeah
Pour
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.
Very Nice
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
What happens if you huff CO2? What if you did this to everclear and used it in bar drinks?
Not sure if that would work.
1:21 I loved that smile in ur face
Awesome Experiment video
-109!!!!!!! . . . . Fahrenheit ..
They got us on the first half not gonna lie.
I watched this video because I wanted to make dry ice out of liquid nitrogen 😂😂😂
Can we use this for food as a presentation ?
I would not recommend it.
Yes you can
-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
the cloudiness is due to 30% water in the isopropyl alchohal
Dude learn how to spell properly.
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!
Only negative 28?? Heck, it gets colder than that every winter here in North Dakota
Is this good for food?
Is it cold enough to make a super conductor.
Is this safe in foods?
if you try to use it on food, can you eat it?
how long can it last? anyone please...

Hi i just have a question. Can i use ethyl alcohol instead of isopropyl?
Sorry but no
Which one is this alcohol reply me the name of this alcohol?
It is called isopropyl alcohol, otherwise known as rubbing alcohol.
pretty big pupils you got there, mate :D
How would you store it like that? Would you put it in the freezer or somewhere else?
In a metal bottle like an old fashioned milk jug.
What would happen if you light up the smoke. Will it catch fire bcoz of alcohol or wont bcoz of co2.
the dry ice cools down the isopropanol so much that it does give of enough vapors to ignite
It won’t because of the Co2.
What is dry ice ,co2?
Yes. Frozen co2
Yes frozen Co2
What's will happened if you will put your finish cocktail to the freezer ?
No idea.
Amazing things 👍🏻
Can you use this in an ice cream maker?
I can finally cool down my ice tea quicker
That’s Hilarious?
Yes
Is there an alternative I could use instead of rubbing alcohol if I wanted to make dippin dots, such as drinking alcohol"
Nick Smith
Try everclear grain alcohol
Drinkable very strong though need alot of mixer to kill the harsh taste.
Very bad idea to drink rubbing alcohol. Theres a video on what would happen if you do that
It's too cold for rubbing alcohol AKA ethanol.
Yes Ethanol?
You can't get dry ice in uk
Yes you can, just buy a Co2 extinguisher.
Can we eat it or not?
MUHAMMAD IQBAL No, if something can burn your skin off, it’s definitely not fit for consumption.
Nope not the liquid nitrogen it’s self, but you can use it to make ice cream or smoke effects in food
How log can you keep it???
How would you properly dispose of it?
In a metal container that is purpose built.
A metal milk jug
how do you dispose of it?
Just dump it down the drain with running water
Momma O You drink it
Metal milk jug
Quick question why is it a sludge and not just very cold compact ice shouldn’t it freak like water?
Because it's alcohol not water which will freeze at sub zero temprature!!!!
Because it is 70% alcohol.
Also learn how to spell properly.
wonder how cold it would be if you keep the alchohol in a freezer before hand.
Not very much colder
How to decrease liquid nitrogen 0 presser . Which liquid or chemical use to decrease presser 0 presser
hello sir
can I used this liquid nitrogen in ice cream serving ? just like smoke ice cream which is very popular nowadays?
If you don't let your ice cream get in the alcohol you could.
Maybe.
Absolutely you can.
Says Don't touch the liquid yet proceeds to stir it with bare hands :*/
How can I make cryo sticks using this method???
I have no idea 🤷
Is it edible to put in food?
Yeah if you want to blow your self up.
Yes
No, unless you use ethanol alcohol.
From where you get that liquid
A bottle of alcohol
Bro from any supermarket it is just Isopropyl alcohol A.K.A rubbing alcohol which is used as an anticeptic
Should have used 99% instead of 70
Yes correct then it would have stayed in liquid state.
It's an emergency I'll infra evidence with my bot aid comp

The realest is nigga lol it is if you want to fucking die
Probably not
@@sherlock1159 that was a fair question My kids asked me to the very same thing as he answered in a comment about adding to ice cream.... So please leave the dude alone 🏴
What if i put just a tiny tiny bit on my body to cool down will i be allg 🤣 if its just the right small amount
thanks
can you make dippin dots out of it?
I don't know but i hope you can... maybe if you would take a very high percentage pure 100% alcohol it would'nt be bad... Bud i don't know sorry :(
Stephen Slansky absolutely not
Liquid nitrogen is a gas in it's liquid state it doesn't stay in the food rubbing alcohol will stay in the food
No
If you use ethanol, like everclear, yes, but they would melt.
in your description you spelled pour wrong
haha
No u literally no u
I'm guessing the alcohol is used as a liquid medium for dry-ice temperature as it's freezing point is way lower than CO2
I dunno 🤷 probably.
What can we use this for?
I dunno use your imagination.
Ice cream or freeze drying food
can I use normal ice from my refrigerator
No, it has to be dry ice. Dry ice is much colder than the ice in your refrigerator and dry ice doesn't melt into water and dilute your alcohol.
Every Kind Of Scientist can I make dry ice?
Not unless you have a way to cool CO2 down to -109 F. And if you do have a way to do that, then you don't need to make this stuff:)
Just grab a fire extinguisher, then release the carbon dioxide into the pillow case until it's empty and wow! Dry Ice!
No not if you want it to work properly.
Can the sludge be stored?
Yes if you have the correct container.
Yes if you have the correct container.
Would it be ok to use this for food processing? Like freeze fruit or cream? I mean can you eat it or makes it poison?
Use ethanol alcohol instead so freeze food can be edible.
is it edible like make ice cream with it?
Portal Reach no not this one.
If you didn't serve isopropyl alcohol, you could.
Yes absolutely
how is this video from 2016??
What if you try this and suck it up in a straw like you liquid nitrogen one
What you add at first?
The dry ice
Can I freeze hand sanitizer
Probably.
I think they are using more methods
Where to buy alcahol?
Anywhere
It is not normal alcohol it is isopropyl alcohol and you can get it from any supermarket.
This is normal ice or nitrogen ice
You need to use 99% isopropyl alcohol
Yes that would work better.
Yes correct 👏🏼
Can you use it to make dragons breath
