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.
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
@@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.

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 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!
-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.
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.
@@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 🏴

How did you mix them up? one is a solid Co2and the other is solid water?

Buy it from a grocery store for a few bucks, most of them carry it if you ask. Walmart/Costco are safe bets.

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
Other Applications: Use high proof tequila and make some bomb ass sub-zero margaritas.
That will kill you.

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

Can you use ethanol alcohol instead? so when you freeze food it will be edible

Yeah probably.
Can this solution rapidly cool a bottle of soda or water?
Yeah probably.
Nice job... Starting off with the safety aspect.
Yeah true that.

My Bad I said it was unstable I got it confused with nitroglycerin.
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.

Why do you hide the act of breaking the leave
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.
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.

Obviously not since the dumb ass stuck his bare hand in the container to stir it up!
+1 for the awesome explanations in the description
Should have used 99% instead of 70
Yes correct then it would have stayed in liquid state.
I can finally cool down my ice tea quicker
That’s Hilarious?
Yes
if you try to use it on food, can you eat it?
Says Don't touch the liquid yet proceeds to stir it with bare hands :*/
Will this work for trash can rockets
thanks
I watched this video because I wanted to make dry ice out of liquid nitrogen 😂😂😂
Very Nice
It's an emergency I'll infra evidence with my bot aid comp
Awesome Experiment video
Bg music is my new jam.
What is he watching in the background, that's making him Crack up?
how long can it last? anyone please...
Can we use this for food as a presentation ?
I would not recommend it.
Yes you can
Only negative 28?? Heck, it gets colder than that every winter here in North Dakota
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.

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

What's will happened if you will put your finish cocktail to the freezer ?
No idea.
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
Which one is this alcohol reply me the name of this alcohol?
It is called isopropyl alcohol, otherwise known as rubbing alcohol.
Amazing things 👍🏻
You can't get dry ice in uk
Yes you can, just buy a Co2 extinguisher.
Can this be used to make the type II superconductor levitate?
Can I use drops of this to freeze Warts?
Hi i just have a question. Can i use ethyl alcohol instead of isopropyl?
Sorry but no
Is it cold enough to make a super conductor.
Can you use this in an ice cream maker?
hes crazy he just said it will burn your skin off...... lets mix it with a table spoon lol
They're using a jet engine turbine and op lock tracker like when you guide ball in Mario golf
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
What is dry ice ,co2?
Yes. Frozen co2
Yes frozen Co2
How can I make cryo sticks using this method???
I have no idea 🤷
What you add at first?
The dry ice
What water is that
wonder how cold it would be if you keep the alchohol in a freezer before hand.
Not very much colder
I think they are using more methods
How log can you keep it???
Why'd you break everything off camera
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
This is normal ice or nitrogen ice
Can I freeze hand sanitizer
Probably.
can you use this to freeze warts ?
I don't recomend
Yes that is exactly what doctors use.
Yes that is exactly what doctors use.
Poor spinach leaves
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.
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.
How would you properly dispose of it?
In a metal container that is purpose built.
A metal milk jug
I mean, liquid nitrogen isn't all that expensive though.
It should be.
Bro depending on where you live and how accessible it is.
May be that's for me
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.
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

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.

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.
