Boy, movies have really let me down on the effectiveness of liquid nitrogen. If this was a movie, that whole pool would be frozen solid. And what do I get? Not even a little ice cube.
I don't always perform experiments with highly dangerous volatile liquids, but when I do (0:54), I do it right in front of my bare face and giggle like a schoolgirl.
Interestingly enough, the specific heat of liquid nitrogen is almost identical to that of liquid water. At roughly 80% of the density. So it can actually change the temperature of the water quite a bit if you could force them to mix somehow.
I was hoping someone would cover the density topic. I was intrigued if nitrogen was heavier or lighter in liquid form. I saw the earlier bit at the start saying there was liquid nitrogen floating on the sea water but that could be because it was landing and boiling away before sinking down so I wasn't sure.
@Shaun Cahill The Liquid Nitrogen is going straight from its boiling temperature to its gaseous form, so specific heat is not really relevant to what's going on here. What is relevant is the heat of vaporization, which isn't very high for Liquid Nitrogen. For this reason, the liquid nitrogen will not cool a large amount of water very much.
Be careful with liquid nitrogen in a pool. The nitrogen will build up along the surface of the pool and your body will not realize its breathing in mostly nitrogen without oxygen. You can suddenly fall unconscious while swimming.
@@insectbite1714 Excuse me for asking and please forgive me if I'm being impolite or disrespectful. Did the doctors have to amputate that part of your finger?
actually It won't be cold because liq. nitrogen would just vaporize due to heat of water and be released in air soooo.. its just a waste of precious nitrogen
This was done at a party last year. The LN became a gas and was sufficiently cold to make a thin ‘cloud’ layer over the relatively warm water, essentially it was in a rolling boil. Some models jumped into the water. When they surfaced they were fine but after deeply inhaling the dense nitrogen gas they passed out one by one. The panic set in and the last swimmers would hyperventilate to keep afloat however the nitrogen had displaced oxygen at the surface level. The onlookers were slow to react given the worrying nature of the suspended gases and the threat to the swimmers. In similar situations in the past people have died or ended up in comas on account of liquid nitrogen and pools. It’s very dangerous and this video doesn’t reflect this fact
I would think this happen more with dry ice since people trow it into pools to make fog (some youtuber had a mass death at their indor pool when they dropped a load during a party also to defend him he has done it outside so there is no threat of asxypsiation ( or how ever ya spell it :P ) as being outside would be sufficient ventilation to move the gas ( considering the pool had small waves meant wind was present that would blow such small amouts of nitrogen away) also the amout was miniscule in the grand scheme of things
Yes, I noticed this as well that the nitrogen was displacing the oxygen at the water surface but apparently not enough to asphyxiate him. Still a little dangerous.
During my university years, 5 people died from a leak on a big liquid nitrogen tank outside. The two workers who tried to fix the leak collapsed first and then three other people who tried to help them. Inert gas are inherently very dangerous due to the risk of asphyxia that comes without warning.

@@wampleek Also, cold water sinks to the bottom and water isn't transparent in IR as far as I remember, so there would be no visible change on the surface in IR. On the flip side, there is a lot of cold gas bursting through the surface, which would obscure it.
The thermal camera would NOT have seen any thermal representation of the event anyway, SINCE Infrared energy doesn't travel through water for any significant distance (unlike visible light).
@@nikolaipavlov2179 grant seemed to love and live the ideal of his channel and one of his goals seemed to be to make the channel available to those around him so that they could also contribute to that concept in their own way. I had never been a consitent follower of tkor before grant had his unfortunate accident. Im also not a tremedously emotional person. I did watch the tribute episode that his team put out shortly after his death. It was even for me very moving and inspiring as well as indicative of the extremely rare and positive impact that Grant had on the people around him. Its an important reminder to us all that there can be neigh infinite ammounts of inspiration and positivity in even the most seemingly simple, obviousl and banal perspectives of others when they take the time and make the effort to share it with us. Not everything Grant did was profound in and of itself. But it is made so retroactively by his unfaltering drive to show us what he was doing and to encourge others to do that as well. Based on what i saw from the people in the tribute episode, i WOULD say that they DID take his channel from him. But not with the implication that you posit, nay sir, i think rather that Grant had the enviable opportunity rare as it is to stumble upon, recognize, develope, and graciously bequeath his legacy BEFORE he ceased his life processes. They did indeed take his channel... because he GAVE it to them. The didnt steal it from him as it seems you imply but instead they received one of the best of serendipitous gifts, one which allows you to benefit from being a benefit to those around you. Grant wasnt a hero. Though im sure that is a role that many would credit to him based on their experience with him. And that i do not come to argue against. I come only to further it and expand it. Grant was better than a hero. Heroes are important they do things intentionally and specifically when others cannot. They act with knowledge and confidence that they can do what is needed. Grant was more than that and more important. He was someone who accidentally fulfills the heroes role. By virtue of their very essence they are capable of inspiring people to strive for that which is seemingly unattainable. Grant was more important than a hero. He was simply a truly good person. We need more of those people. May he legacy live on.
I've done this with dry ice and it was a lot of fun. Pretty much the same reaction, although it's a bit more violent with nitrogen of course. Especially in the beginning, that was pretty impressive.
@@carjockey2135 the CO2 sinks, not an issue if you're standing on the ground above it. But you'll suffocate in a pool as it will all hang above the water surface
I love how he used the underwater drone to film what’s going on under water, but uses another camera to fill the the drone filming what’s going on. 😂😂😂
No before and after temperature readings? No calculation on the minimal cooling that would have occurred? No calculation on how much Liquid Nitrogen it would take to freeze the pool? I miss Mythbusters.
Ok, so water has a very high amount of energy it takes to change its temperature. Liquid nitrogen has a much lower amount, so each degree will have a reduced effect on the water. Not knowing the specifics, we're going to need to make some assumptions. For simplicity, i'm going to assume the water is 293 K, 10kL and that the LN2 is 20L and 77K. The pool has something to the effect of 12 BILLION joules of heat energy, while the liquid nitrogen only has 1.2 million. Overall effect of this is that the energy in the pool will be lowered, and the overall temperature of the pool will drop by a fraction of a degree. (~292.97 K) In order to get the whole pool to 0C (273.15K) you would need to add a lot more liquid nitrogen. The difference in energy between water at 293K and 273.15K is about 830 million joules (830,921,000) which to get with the 77K liquid nitrogen would require about 12 thousand litres. Actually turning that water to ice requires EVEN MORE energy than this!
@mustafa hk It actually depends more on the crystaline structure formed. If you look into ice you can see several different varieties depending on the temperature and pressure each with a different fusion energy requirement. It is indeed related to heat capacity but not entirely
Merik Malhads i think since the nitrogen is cold and the water is a liquid, since they’re both different makings of matter , they’ll shit in each others mouths and that’s why water doesn’t freeze
The efficiency of a bubble to transfer the Liquid Nitrogen out of the dewer through the water with the minimum surface area has to be considered here too.
Considering the volume of water and the fact that the liquid nitrogen boiled of quickly, turned to gas, and rose to the surface it is highly unlikely the temperature change of the whole pool would have been measurable.
@@CarBENbased it's measurable close by, because water doesn't really like to mix with itself even at different temperatures. Temperature of water on opposite border would most likely unchanged.
@@crit420 I think he just watches a lot of UA-cam AND comments on all the videos he watches. Most people don't comment on all the videos they watch; that's why it seems like he's using a bot.
I'm working myself with liquid nitrogen, seeing you working without glasses, gloves and barefoot, sends me shivers down my spine! The danger is real, man!!!
@La Fa TLDR; It's not the nitrogen itself, but *how much* is being handled in factories. Because in the quantities used for industrial purposes, liquid nitrogen could freeze off at the very least fingers, or limbs, and potentially die due to freezing. In the video, it's a relatively small amount, so it's not too dangerous, but in industrial quantities, the cats are big enough to drown in, and because there's so much, it's too costly to insulate, so touching or even being in proximity would be cold enough to give you frostbite.
for small quantities like he is working with, it's safer to be naked because any LN2 that you spill on yourself will bounce off due to the leidenfrost effect. If you are wearing clothes, the LN2 can get absorbed by the fabric and stick to you and cause damage. For working with large qualities, I would suspect you might want heavily insulated waterproof (non-absorbent) clothes that seal around the seams.
@@finnrock5558 This is correct normal gloves and clothes will just trap the liquid close to the skin ,I was more worried about hypoxia swimming around in all that nitrogen gas but for the short time he did it’s not too bad. The lungs can detect co2 not a lack of oxygen
Why..liquid nitrogen is dangerous while it is liquid because it is cold or if you breath it in too much and fills your lungs, just like with any other gas that is not regular air. When it bubbles out it is not liquid nitrogen anymore but it is sublimating into gaseous nitrogen that is in the atmosphere normally...
@Murphy deffa They assumed that it would be dangerous to touch. While he might be in danger if he breathes directly above the pool, he is in fact not going to be breathing it underwater.
Me too I respect that this guy gets to the point With the stuff he does he could easily stretch it out for 15 minutes every time, and I couldn't blame him because it takes preparation. But he does get straight to the point I like that
@Ethan Donaldson That's not exactly how it works though. This falls in the educational/science realm & he is dealing with a chemical that can cause bodily harm. It's also something kids are likely to watch. If YT is holding creators responsible (I think $40k fine)for kids watching vids labeled as adult content how do you think it would play out if a kid got hurt trying to recreate this. Although it was sarcastic maybe the creator could also benefit from my comment & save grief later by being responsible with the content. This is obviously not just some dude uploading a vid. Level of quality & presentation indicates he is trying to grow a channel. Science is fun and exciting but also dangerous. If you want to dabble in that content be responsible. I bet if some kid got hurt trying this the guy would feel horrible & how things are today I could see a parent blaming him (possibly successfully) if their child got hurt because the parent didn't understand the level of danger. There is a channel where a 16ish year old kid makes ridiculous contraptions & even he has the sense to disclose things are dangerous. Drop rate of common sense is so low it should be reclassified as legendary.
@Ethan Donaldson Maybe you weren't completely wrong & I should've been less sarcastic. Maybe I was somewhat scolding myself, I've learned many dangers the hard way. 15yrs ago I probably would've done that out of sheer curiosity with the same level of safety.
This may be the first in-video promo I was actually intrigued by. Never knew I wanted an underwater drone until now. Though I don't even need to look at the price to know I can't afford it.
for what it's worth, uuvs aren't terribly difficult to build. there's actually a great deal of guides to build them online. reckon it's to do with the fact that most of it can be made of pvc piping
@@blackwing1362 not terribly, no. mains water is typically around 60 psi or 4 bar, so typical plumbing compounds can handle it easily. that's equivalent to about 140 feet or 40 meters, which is quite deep, all considered, so a homebuilt uuv will likely not go below that. the difficult part would probably be the joint between the body and the cable to the surface, as that won't use standard plumbing parts.

Seeing someone standing in the water he's adding liquid nitrogen to, without gloves, goggles, or foot protection, is a kind of anxiety that's new to me.
He could have done it naked, but without googles is a NO GO! With LIN freezing your eyes you not only get terrible pain, but also permanent eye damage. From frosbite will heal, but not blindness. I'm working with this stuff multible time a week and it happend to me multible times that LIN threw itself out a bottle. LIN is not Phosgene, but is still no joke.
@Legend of the Stormlord That's a good idea, although I don't think the liquid oxygen will adhere well to ice. The bubbles formed may carry some of the liquid oxygen to the surface though.
@@DANGJOS I produce liquid oxygen myself and experiment with it all the time. It will sink and then rise again, sink, rise. Eventually there will be one or more small concave pieces of ice floating at the top with little pools of LOX inside each one. I have a video on it. So it doesn't actually "adhere", it just forms quickly and carries some of the LOX upward. Once in a while it will completely seal itself in ice and the ice will pop as the boiling gas breaks through.
@@ChristmasEve777 That sounds fascinating! I need to check that out. That doesn't surprise me. The bubbles from the boiling oxygen should cause globules of liquid oxygen to float. I guess it sinks after that and the ice that encases it causes it to overall float. That's definitely interesting. I would love to see liquid carbon dioxide under water as well. Unfortunately, it would have to be deeper than 40 meters in order to work.
@@DANGJOS THAT would be cool too! Well either have the CO2 40 meters deep or inside of a pressurized clear container. Maybe put a chunk of dry ice in water and seal the container. Hopefully, after a while, the dry ice would stop bubbling and start melting. But then you have the risk of an explosion. haha
@@ChristmasEve777 Yes exactly. If you took a large piece of dry ice under the ocean, you wouldn't have to worry about some dangerous explosion since everywhere is high pressure. I would love to see the dry ice melting and boiling at the same time! Unfortunately, the bubbles would probably make that difficult to see. Would still be cool though.

The feeling of suffocation is too much CO2, not lack of oxygen. If you breathe inert gas there's no CO2 build-up, so you can lose consciousness and die without noticing anything wrong.
The only way your body can produce CO2 is by taking in O2. So yes, if you we're holding your breath, CO2 would not be dispelled and would starve the body of O2 and give you the suffocating feeling. I have been hit with small amount of N2 in a respirator hose failure in a atmosphere of 18.9% 02 and let me tell you, felt like I was suffocating. I wasn't due to the small amount of 02 I was still taking in and still being able to exhale, but tell you what, still felt like it. The hose developed a very small cut. I think it must have caught it on something and casused the cut. If not for my coworkers getting me away quickly, could have been a bad situation. Luckily it wasn't a pure N2 atmosphere, just an 02 deficient one, so I didn't pass out immediately. Lasted about 10 seconds before I got out of that location and into fresh air. Longest 10 seconds of my life.
@@4hodmt yup, As any scuba diver will confirm, there is no sense of suffocation with inert gases such as N2, only with CO2, so no discomfort or panic, just a sort of drunken buzz then unconsciousness, finally death. At a minor level it is called being 'narced' and happens to all scuba divers at depth to some degree. Nitrogen gas is also how lab animals are normally ethically sacrificed when that is required, as lethal injections often can't be used in lab experiments (especially medical testing, as the drugs screw up the post-mortem analysis. Interestingly it was also a method suggested for US prisoner executions a few years ago as being more humane than current methods.

So he conducts his experiment, and the analysis is, “That’s so cool!”. That it is, very cool indeed! And his review of the submersible, “That is SO cool!”. Yes it was, I want one!
Because of the intensity of the lavas heat meeting the liquid nitrogen’s intense cold the laden frost effect would come into play a small barrier of gas or vapour would form preventing the nitrogen from making contact and the lava and the nitrogen would just turn into a gas with out doing much to the lava if anything to be fair. If you have an electric oven turn one of the rings to hight heat when it’s fully heated up put some water on it and it will just beed up and disappear into a gas(sorry I can’t speel)

Wonder what the oxygen content of the atmosphere was above the water. With the pool edge being several inches higher than the water, pool may have had a nitrogen blanket over the water. Asphyxiation hazard when he jumped in? Edited for people's knowledge: the asphyxiation hazard is two fold. 1. When the nitrogen boils off in the pool, it rises to the surface of the water displacing the oxygenated air with an atmosphere of 100% nitrogen. This depleted, cool nitrogen atmosphere is trapped by that pools edge creating an oxygen starved atmosphere over the water. If the oxygen content had lowered enough, he would have passed out very quick from breathing it. 2. Upon going unconscious, he would have been face down in the pool and drowned. People have been googling nitrogen content of air and that's not the concern, the lowered oxygen content is. I encourage people to Google (oxygen deprivation deaths and confined space). OSHA will have plenty of reports on the deaths. This was posted by another commentator and is exactly what this had the potential of being... ua-cam.com/video/DM6_pUE-3Pg/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/JLzpQR9iIo4/v-deo.html
@@Centrioless doesn't actually matter if open space or not. There still could be a layer of nitrogen above the water since the pool edge is higher than the water. (As roommate625 said)
It would still not be as dangerous as the dry ice incident because air already has a lot of nitrogen (around 78% according to google) but dry ice releases CO2 and air only has around 1% of Co2 (google again) so you are already breathing in huge amounts of nitrogen
My thoughts exactly! I know you could hear some wind noise, but if this was done in a slight dip (which a pool is) on a still day, it might well have been the very last experiment he every did!
Agreed. I work in a place where nitrogen warnings explain a single lungful of the stuff is enough to kill you. I couldn't believe when he started swimming over it. I just thought "what an absolute idiot!"
@@andywallace56 78% of the normal atmosphere is nitrogen gas anyway, so I think you will be ok as long as you are not in an enclosed space where all the oxygen gets driven out because it rises while the cold nitrogen sinks. You should be able to survive even if there is just 10% oxygen left. Saying a single lungful of the stuff is enough to kill you is simply not accurate, you should fact check that. Nitrogen is not poisonous, even in high concentrations, else we would all die from the normal levels of nitrogen in our atmosphere. Only danger is if more than 90% of the oxygen is driven out of the room or container you are in or if it is cold from liquid nitrogen source, it could freeze your trachea and lungs (then a single lungful could kill you, but only as a result of the cold).
@@ChrisvanderMerwe_cw3 i doubt youd survive long with 10% oxygen thats less than half the oxygen at sea level at everests pek you have a third of it around 7% and if you're there too long you die
Wow. That underwater drone was actually amazing! You should do more videos using that drone to explore cool locations and get really cool shots of things that you couldn't get otherwise. No I don't work for the drone company. LOL
I can't believe you're handling that stuff without gloves. I once got a liquid oxygen burn and it was the worst burn of my life. I'm a blacksmith, so I do get burned from time to time by sometimes white-hot steel. But the LOX burn was by far the most painful and longest duration of pain.
I would think liquid oxygen would be way more dangerous than liquid nitrogen. Liquid oxygen is an extreme oxidizing agent (no pun intended) and will set fire to most organic matter (ever seen a good hydrogen peroxide burn)? All that liquid nitrogen will do is make you very, very cold. Which, is bad, but not as bad as getting actually burned.
@@prestonbecker8784 Well, what got me on the liquid oxygen, was a situation my brother created at my wedding. My father had a LOX tank that he carried and another, larger one for refilling his carry tank. Because of the distance and time factor, they loaded his refill tank into his station wagon and when he ran low at the wedding reception, my brother ran out to fill the carry tank. Being in a hurry and inattentive to the detail of what he was supposed to be doing, he tried filling the carry tank without ensuring that the refill "stud" was completely clean and dry by wiping it with a clean, dry cloth. (When I did it, I also wiped the inside of of the fitting to the refill tank's valve. Anyway, the moisture froze the refill tank's valve open and it started venting LOX all over the inside of the car. It's not too unusual for the valve to 'stick,' and the way to reset is is to go into the valve housing with a screwdriver tip and give it a tap so that it reseats the seal. There were impermeable insulated gloves that were use for that, but no one thought to take them along. I had a pair of gloves that seemed to be of that same material -- or close enough -- so I did 'the screwdriver trick.' As usual, there was a blast of LOX from the valve as the screwdriver pushes it in. This went straight through the glove and immediately froze it to my thumb and finger. Everything was 'frostbite frozen' and it took a couple of minutes until the glove was even thawed out enough to pull it off. Once my hand thawed out, it burned like hell. Like a burn from a white-hot piece of the iron I forge, but worse. Then a couple of blisters rose up and they hurt like hell, too. It took a couple of days before my hand returned to something usable again. What still amazes me is how quick it all happened. Just a 'tap' on that screwdriver and a quick puff/spurt of the LOX was enough to do all that damage. I've had "branding" burns from white hot iron mishaps that left long permanent scars because they'd actually burned down to the meat in my forearm. But I've never had a more painful burn than that LOX.
@@yepiratesworkshop7997 It sounds like having the wrong kind of gloves was almost worse than having no gloves at all. With no gloves, the liquid could have just rolled off your hand due to the liedenfrost effect. But with the gloves keeping the liquid up against your skin, a bad burn resulted. Though that does raise a new question. What the hell were you doing with a tank of liquid oxygen for your wedding? Was there a giant fireworks shows planned during the reception? Sucks about this happening on your wedding. Did the ceremony continue? Or was it postponed. Can't imagine the bride was too pleased either way
I love how explosive the reaction was in the beginning. I’d love to see how high of a funnel you can get it to go with like, a bigger container of nitrogen
It’s about $10 used in this vid, not that expensive (you wouldn’t want to cool off a pool with it, but for a fun little test the gas driving to fill up your dewar will cost more than the LN2 for most people).
The underwater drone looked so cool!!! And the huge splash, and how long the bubbles went, was awesome. I hope you do more high budget stuff like this.
I found it educational! I think it's like the flashpoint reversed. or leidenfrost effect reversed, there was a cushion of gas insulating the water from the LN2. like how water is cushioned from a hot surface. So, I heard long ago, that there's a flashpoint in both temperature directions, heat flashpoint, thing burn or explode, but something similar happens the other way too. like if you drop animal fat into LN2 or Liquid oxygen, any cryogenic liquid, it will produce an explosive effect. this is something I'd like to actually see too!!

I was a bit disappointed, I want to see a LOT of LN2 react with water, all at once. Just bubbling up for 3 minutes is kinda boring, sorry to say. Is it possible to have some sort of container that blows / breaks itself open? Maybe something steel, with something insulating (expanded polystyrene?) around it, and use exploding bolts to hold the 2 halves shut. And a pressure release so it doesn't blow itself up from internal pressure. The idea would be to see it all react as quickly as possible. Would you get a big chunk of ice? Or a sheet of ice on top? Or... what? I've seen lots of Action Lab vids and some of them are AMAZING, black fire was something I was sure would be some sort of weak trick, but it really isn't. But this one, bit of a letdown, which I admit is rare for Action Lab. Fancy revisiting this, Dr Lab? Adam Savage would do it!
I've done it with a 2l plastic bottle. Quite impressive. You don't need the water but it the water makes it a lot quicker since the energy transfer is faster.

Robert Green do you go to your neighbors pool without permission
This was done at a party last year. The LN became a gas and was sufficiently cold to make a thin ‘cloud’ layer over the relatively warm water, essentially it was in a rolling boil. Some models jumped into the water. When they surfaced they were fine but after deeply inhaling the dense nitrogen gas they passed out one by one. The panic set in and the last swimmers would hyperventilate to keep afloat however the nitrogen had displaced oxygen at the surface level. The onlookers were slow to react given the worrying nature of the suspended gases and the threat to the swimmers. In similar situations in the past people have died or ended up in comas on account of liquid nitrogen and pools. It’s very dangerous and this video doesn’t reflect this fact
I would think this happen more with dry ice since people trow it into pools to make fog (some youtuber had a mass death at their indor pool when they dropped a load during a party
also to defend him
he has done it outside so there is no threat of asxypsiation ( or how ever ya spell it :P ) as being outside would be sufficient ventilation to move the gas ( considering the pool had small waves meant wind was present that would blow such small amouts of nitrogen away) also the amout was miniscule in the grand scheme of things
Yes, I noticed this as well that the nitrogen was displacing the oxygen at the water surface but apparently not enough to asphyxiate him. Still a little dangerous.
During my university years, 5 people died from a leak on a big liquid nitrogen tank outside. The two workers who tried to fix the leak collapsed first and then three other people who tried to help them. Inert gas are inherently very dangerous due to the risk of asphyxia that comes without warning.
Fun fact: It is technically correct to say, "Careful, that liquid nitrogen is boiling hot!"

I only recently found this channel. These experiments are all the things he probably wondered about as a kid, and finally has the means to try. I love it!
experiments involve thought and observation ... as well as reasoning ...

It's a shame that drone doesn't have a thermal cam on it - would be great to see if the temperature of the pool dropped any.
agreed! that would be cool, also of the air
It would have to, even if you just threw in a bag of ice.
Water has such a high specific heat that I doubt the change in temperature would be significant.
@@wampleek Also, cold water sinks to the bottom and water isn't transparent in IR as far as I remember, so there would be no visible change on the surface in IR. On the flip side, there is a lot of cold gas bursting through the surface, which would obscure it.
The thermal camera would NOT have seen any thermal representation of the event anyway, SINCE Infrared energy doesn't travel through water for any significant distance (unlike visible light).

@@nikolaipavlov2179 .
@@nikolaipavlov2179 grant seemed to love and live the ideal of his channel and one of his goals seemed to be to make the channel available to those around him so that they could also contribute to that concept in their own way. I had never been a consitent follower of tkor before grant had his unfortunate accident. Im also not a tremedously emotional person. I did watch the tribute episode that his team put out shortly after his death. It was even for me very moving and inspiring as well as indicative of the extremely rare and positive impact that Grant had on the people around him. Its an important reminder to us all that there can be neigh infinite ammounts of inspiration and positivity in even the most seemingly simple, obviousl and banal perspectives of others when they take the time and make the effort to share it with us. Not everything Grant did was profound in and of itself. But it is made so retroactively by his unfaltering drive to show us what he was doing and to encourge others to do that as well.
Based on what i saw from the people in the tribute episode, i WOULD say that they DID take his channel from him. But not with the implication that you posit, nay sir, i think rather that Grant had the enviable opportunity rare as it is to stumble upon, recognize, develope, and graciously bequeath his legacy BEFORE he ceased his life processes.
They did indeed take his channel... because he GAVE it to them. The didnt steal it from him as it seems you imply but instead they received one of the best of serendipitous gifts, one which allows you to benefit from being a benefit to those around you.
Grant wasnt a hero. Though im sure that is a role that many would credit to him based on their experience with him. And that i do not come to argue against. I come only to further it and expand it. Grant was better than a hero. Heroes are important they do things intentionally and specifically when others cannot. They act with knowledge and confidence that they can do what is needed. Grant was more than that and more important. He was someone who accidentally fulfills the heroes role. By virtue of their very essence they are capable of inspiring people to strive for that which is seemingly unattainable.
Grant was more important than a hero. He was simply a truly good person. We need more of those people.
May he legacy live on.
I've done this with dry ice and it was a lot of fun. Pretty much the same reaction, although it's a bit more violent with nitrogen of course. Especially in the beginning, that was pretty impressive.

Eric Paulsen FR
I would be curious about the before and after temps also ...
Ok, so water has a very high amount of energy it takes to change its temperature. Liquid nitrogen has a much lower amount, so each degree will have a reduced effect on the water.
Not knowing the specifics, we're going to need to make some assumptions. For simplicity, i'm going to assume the water is 293 K, 10kL and that the LN2 is 20L and 77K.
The pool has something to the effect of 12 BILLION joules of heat energy, while the liquid nitrogen only has 1.2 million.
Overall effect of this is that the energy in the pool will be lowered, and the overall temperature of the pool will drop by a fraction of a degree. (~292.97 K)
In order to get the whole pool to 0C (273.15K) you would need to add a lot more liquid nitrogen.
The difference in energy between water at 293K and 273.15K is about 830 million joules (830,921,000) which to get with the 77K liquid nitrogen would require about 12 thousand litres.
Actually turning that water to ice requires EVEN MORE energy than this!
😓
The heat capacity of water is just too damn high.
It's actually the fusion point of ice that really makes the difference
@mustafa hk It actually depends more on the crystaline structure formed. If you look into ice you can see several different varieties depending on the temperature and pressure each with a different fusion energy requirement. It is indeed related to heat capacity but not entirely
Merik Malhads i think since the nitrogen is cold and the water is a liquid, since they’re both different makings of matter , they’ll shit in each others mouths and that’s why water doesn’t freeze
The efficiency of a bubble to transfer the Liquid Nitrogen out of the dewer through the water with the minimum surface area has to be considered here too.
The highest...to be exact
Should have measured the temperature of the water before and after.
Considering the volume of water and the fact that the liquid nitrogen boiled of quickly, turned to gas, and rose to the surface it is highly unlikely the temperature change of the whole pool would have been measurable.
@@CarBENbased it's measurable close by, because water doesn't really like to mix with itself even at different temperatures. Temperature of water on opposite border would most likely unchanged.
it still wont probably change significantly water also has high specific heat capacity
@@amongimp7752 yes, difference in heat capacity from 0 to 100 degrees Celcium is ~1%

I'm working myself with liquid nitrogen, seeing you working without glasses, gloves and barefoot, sends me shivers down my spine! The danger is real, man!!!
@La Fa
TLDR; It's not the nitrogen itself, but *how much* is being handled in factories.
Because in the quantities used for industrial purposes, liquid nitrogen could freeze off at the very least fingers, or limbs, and potentially die due to freezing. In the video, it's a relatively small amount, so it's not too dangerous, but in industrial quantities, the cats are big enough to drown in, and because there's so much, it's too costly to insulate, so touching or even being in proximity would be cold enough to give you frostbite.
for small quantities like he is working with, it's safer to be naked because any LN2 that you spill on yourself will bounce off due to the leidenfrost effect. If you are wearing clothes, the LN2 can get absorbed by the fabric and stick to you and cause damage. For working with large qualities, I would suspect you might want heavily insulated waterproof (non-absorbent) clothes that seal around the seams.
@@finnrock5558 This is correct normal gloves and clothes will just trap the liquid close to the skin ,I was more worried about hypoxia swimming around in all that nitrogen gas but for the short time he did it’s not too bad. The lungs can detect co2 not a lack of oxygen

@Ethan Donaldson That's not exactly how it works though. This falls in the educational/science realm & he is dealing with a chemical that can cause bodily harm. It's also something kids are likely to watch. If YT is holding creators responsible (I think $40k fine)for kids watching vids labeled as adult content how do you think it would play out if a kid got hurt trying to recreate this. Although it was sarcastic maybe the creator could also benefit from my comment & save grief later by being responsible with the content.
This is obviously not just some dude uploading a vid. Level of quality & presentation indicates he is trying to grow a channel. Science is fun and exciting but also dangerous. If you want to dabble in that content be responsible. I bet if some kid got hurt trying this the guy would feel horrible & how things are today I could see a parent blaming him (possibly successfully) if their child got hurt because the parent didn't understand the level of danger. There is a channel where a 16ish year old kid makes ridiculous contraptions & even he has the sense to disclose things are dangerous.
Drop rate of common sense is so low it should be reclassified as legendary.

haha, I was about to do this with liquid oxygen! Liquid oxygen is denser than LN2 and denser than WATER but it will float on pieces of ice formed.
@Legend of the Stormlord That's a good idea, although I don't think the liquid oxygen will adhere well to ice. The bubbles formed may carry some of the liquid oxygen to the surface though.
@@DANGJOS I produce liquid oxygen myself and experiment with it all the time. It will sink and then rise again, sink, rise. Eventually there will be one or more small concave pieces of ice floating at the top with little pools of LOX inside each one. I have a video on it. So it doesn't actually "adhere", it just forms quickly and carries some of the LOX upward. Once in a while it will completely seal itself in ice and the ice will pop as the boiling gas breaks through.
@@ChristmasEve777 That sounds fascinating! I need to check that out. That doesn't surprise me. The bubbles from the boiling oxygen should cause globules of liquid oxygen to float. I guess it sinks after that and the ice that encases it causes it to overall float. That's definitely interesting. I would love to see liquid carbon dioxide under water as well. Unfortunately, it would have to be deeper than 40 meters in order to work.
@@DANGJOS THAT would be cool too! Well either have the CO2 40 meters deep or inside of a pressurized clear container. Maybe put a chunk of dry ice in water and seal the container. Hopefully, after a while, the dry ice would stop bubbling and start melting. But then you have the risk of an explosion. haha
@@ChristmasEve777 Yes exactly. If you took a large piece of dry ice under the ocean, you wouldn't have to worry about some dangerous explosion since everywhere is high pressure.

Being a Cryogenic technician, I was thinking the same thing. 1 full breath of that and lights out.
The feeling of suffocation is too much CO2, not lack of oxygen. If you breathe inert gas there's no CO2 build-up, so you can lose consciousness and die without noticing anything wrong.
The only way your body can produce CO2 is by taking in O2. So yes, if you we're holding your breath, CO2 would not be dispelled and would starve the body of O2 and give you the suffocating feeling. I have been hit with small amount of N2 in a respirator hose failure in a atmosphere of 18.9% 02 and let me tell you, felt like I was suffocating. I wasn't due to the small amount of 02 I was still taking in and still being able to exhale, but tell you what, still felt like it. The hose developed a very small cut. I think it must have caught it on something and casused the cut. If not for my coworkers getting me away quickly, could have been a bad situation. Luckily it wasn't a pure N2 atmosphere, just an 02 deficient one, so I didn't pass out immediately. Lasted about 10 seconds before I got out of that location and into fresh air. Longest 10 seconds of my life.
It was a rather dangerous thing to do.
@@4hodmt yup, As any scuba diver will confirm, there is no sense of suffocation with inert gases such as N2, only with CO2, so no discomfort or panic, just a sort of drunken buzz then unconsciousness, finally death. At a minor level it is called being 'narced' and happens to all scuba divers at depth to some degree.
Nitrogen gas is also how lab animals are normally ethically sacrificed when that is required, as lethal injections often can't be used in lab experiments (especially medical testing, as the drugs screw up the post-mortem analysis. Interestingly it was also a method suggested for US prisoner executions a few years ago as being more humane than current methods.

It would just bubble of
Because of the intensity of the lavas heat meeting the liquid nitrogen’s intense cold the laden frost effect would come into play a small barrier of gas or vapour would form preventing the nitrogen from making contact and the lava and the nitrogen would just turn into a gas with out doing much to the lava if anything to be fair.

Wonder what the oxygen content of the atmosphere was above the water. With the pool edge being several inches higher than the water, pool may have had a nitrogen blanket over the water. Asphyxiation hazard when he jumped in?
Edited for people's knowledge: the asphyxiation hazard is two fold.
1. When the nitrogen boils off in the pool, it rises to the surface of the water displacing the oxygenated air with an atmosphere of 100% nitrogen. This depleted, cool nitrogen atmosphere is trapped by that pools edge creating an oxygen starved atmosphere over the water. If the oxygen content had lowered enough, he would have passed out very quick from breathing it.
2. Upon going unconscious, he would have been face down in the pool and drowned.
People have been googling nitrogen content of air and that's not the concern, the lowered oxygen content is. I encourage people to Google (oxygen deprivation deaths and confined space). OSHA will have plenty of reports on the deaths.

@@Centrioless doesn't actually matter if open space or not. There still could be a layer of nitrogen above the water since the pool edge is higher than the water. (As roommate625 said)
It would still not be as dangerous as the dry ice incident because air already has a lot of nitrogen (around 78% according to google) but dry ice releases CO2 and air only has around 1% of Co2 (google again) so you are already breathing in huge amounts of nitrogen
I would have been more concerned if the atmosphere weren't 80% Nitrogen.
For future reference: There is very real danger from oxygen displacement. You could lose consciousness with no warning.
My thoughts exactly! I know you could hear some wind noise, but if this was done in a slight dip (which a pool is) on a still day, it might well have been the very last experiment he every did!
Agreed. I work in a place where nitrogen warnings explain a single lungful of the stuff is enough to kill you. I couldn't believe when he started swimming over it. I just thought "what an absolute idiot!"
@@andywallace56 78% of the normal atmosphere is nitrogen gas anyway, so I think you will be ok as long as you are not in an enclosed space where all the oxygen gets driven out because it rises while the cold nitrogen sinks. You should be able to survive even if there is just 10% oxygen left. Saying a single lungful of the stuff is enough to kill you is simply not accurate, you should fact check that. Nitrogen is not poisonous, even in high concentrations, else we would all die from the normal levels of nitrogen in our atmosphere. Only danger is if more than 90% of the oxygen is driven out of the room or container you are in or if it is cold from liquid nitrogen source, it could freeze your trachea and lungs (then a single lungful could kill you, but only as a result of the cold).
@@andywallace56 so whip its should kill you because I've taken in entire lungfuls for the fun effects. Sounds like bs.
@@ChrisvanderMerwe_cw3 i doubt youd survive long with 10% oxygen thats less than half the oxygen at sea level at everests pek you have a third of it around 7% and if you're there too long you die
Did the temperature of the pool water change?
Now when is someone gonna invent a Cold pool for really hot places 🧐
Him: let’s use an underwater drone with a camera
Also Him: lets have a camera filming the underwater drone also UNDERWATER😳
A paid promotion may be
@@Martin-bt4et yes it is
Next question: Why did I get in the pool with my clothes on?
Because science!!
*major echoing*
SCIENCE
cause the water is cold
mom: MY KID IS FINE
the kid : OKAY! today i would be opening a liquid nitrogen bottle underwater
Opening a bottle of bleach inside my body.

🤮
We already have that......it called stomach acid.......

My anxiety levels rose @ 1:16. Thought the drone controller bout to be a goner.
Yeah I saw that as well!!! :-O
@@telephony Wait, what are you guys noticing??
He almost stepped on the remote for the submarine drone -- which would have been a rather co$tly mistake!!! :-O
I only noticed when you said that and I’m not joking, I actually screamed *AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH* 😵
Wow. That underwater drone was actually amazing! You should do more videos using that drone to explore cool locations and get really cool shots of things that you couldn't get otherwise. No I don't work for the drone company. LOL
I love this guy. He has a very curious mind like we all should have! You're awesome man!
I can't believe you're handling that stuff without gloves. I once got a liquid oxygen burn and it was the worst burn of my life. I'm a blacksmith, so I do get burned from time to time by sometimes white-hot steel. But the LOX burn was by far the most painful and longest duration of pain.
I would think liquid oxygen would be way more dangerous than liquid nitrogen. Liquid oxygen is an extreme oxidizing agent (no pun intended) and will set fire to most organic matter (ever seen a good hydrogen peroxide burn)? All that liquid nitrogen will do is make you very, very cold. Which, is bad, but not as bad as getting actually burned.
@@prestonbecker8784 Well, what got me on the liquid oxygen, was a situation my brother created at my wedding. My father had a LOX tank that he carried and another, larger one for refilling his carry tank. Because of the distance and time factor, they loaded his refill tank into his station wagon and when he ran low at the wedding reception, my brother ran out to fill the carry tank. Being in a hurry and inattentive to the detail of what he was supposed to be doing, he tried filling the carry tank without ensuring that the refill "stud" was completely clean and dry by wiping it with a clean, dry cloth. (When I did it, I also wiped the inside of of the fitting to the refill tank's valve. Anyway, the moisture froze the refill tank's valve open and it started venting LOX all over the inside of the car. It's not too unusual for the valve to 'stick,' and the way to reset is is to go into the valve housing with a screwdriver tip and give it a tap so that it reseats the seal. There were impermeable insulated gloves that were use for that, but no one thought to take them along. I had a pair of gloves that seemed to be of that same material -- or close enough -- so I did 'the screwdriver trick.' As usual, there was a blast of LOX from the valve as the screwdriver pushes it in. This went straight through the glove and immediately froze it to my thumb and finger. Everything was 'frostbite frozen' and it took a couple of minutes until the glove was even thawed out enough to pull it off. Once my hand thawed out, it burned like hell. Like a burn from a white-hot piece of the iron I forge, but worse. Then a couple of blisters rose up and they hurt like hell, too. It took a couple of days before my hand returned to something usable again. What still amazes me is how quick it all happened. Just a 'tap' on that screwdriver and a quick puff/spurt of the LOX was enough to do all that damage. I've had "branding" burns from white hot iron mishaps that left long permanent scars because they'd actually burned down to the meat in my forearm. But I've never had a more painful burn than that LOX.
@@yepiratesworkshop7997 It sounds like having the wrong kind of gloves was almost worse than having no gloves at all. With no gloves, the liquid could have just rolled off your hand due to the liedenfrost effect. But with the gloves keeping the liquid up against your skin, a bad burn resulted.
Though that does raise a new question. What the hell were you doing with a tank of liquid oxygen for your wedding? Was there a giant fireworks shows planned during the reception?
Sucks about this happening on your wedding. Did the ceremony continue? Or was it postponed. Can't imagine the bride was too pleased either way
I love how explosive the reaction was in the beginning. I’d love to see how high of a funnel you can get it to go with like, a bigger container of nitrogen
This was so COOL
Totally thought there would be way more ice.
Me:
UA-cam: hey wanna see what bored people with to much cash are up to??
Who thought I would have so much fun watching someone have fun
Congrats to 4 mil🎉🥳
Liqiud nitrogen: expensive af
The action lab: throws whole container in the pool
It’s about $10 used in this vid, not that expensive (you wouldn’t want to cool off a pool with it, but for a fun little test the gas driving to fill up your dewar will cost more than the LN2 for most people).
@@jakegarrett8109 it's 0.20$ /litre here
You need to see what did he done with the diamonds
its cheap actually
The underwater drone looked so cool!!! And the huge splash, and how long the bubbles went, was awesome. I hope you do more high budget stuff like this.
I wonder by how much the water temperature changed.
I found it educational! I think it's like the flashpoint reversed. or leidenfrost effect reversed, there was a cushion of gas insulating the water from the LN2. like how water is cushioned from a hot surface. So, I heard long ago, that there's a flashpoint in both temperature directions, heat flashpoint, thing burn or explode, but something similar happens the other way too. like if you drop animal fat into LN2 or Liquid oxygen, any cryogenic liquid, it will produce an explosive effect. this is something I'd like to actually see too!!
That was the first advertisement that is actually good.
Welcome to my laboratory, where safety is number one priority...
LAB: IT just keeps coming

IKR 😂
Alternate title: I have a beautiful house with a nice pool
And a water slide!
Jealous that their pool doesn't have a neighbors pine tree dumping crap in it.
Most states allow you to cut the parts of a tree that's hanging over on your property.
Hey neighbour
@@Bryan-Hensley problem is the wind blowing crap from the neighbors. I have a lot of pools I manage that have nothing in the back yard and the neighbors tree trash is only thing in the pool 😂
Everyone else talking about how underwhelming and unsafe this video is. Meanwhile you're just focused on the obligatory tree shit floating in your pool. Lol
I was a bit disappointed, I want to see a LOT of LN2 react with water, all at once. Just bubbling up for 3 minutes is kinda boring, sorry to say. Is it possible to have some sort of container that blows / breaks itself open? Maybe something steel, with something insulating (expanded polystyrene?) around it, and use exploding bolts to hold the 2 halves shut. And a pressure release so it doesn't blow itself up from internal pressure.
The idea would be to see it all react as quickly as possible. Would you get a big chunk of ice? Or a sheet of ice on top? Or... what? I've seen lots of Action Lab vids and some of them are AMAZING, black fire was something I was sure would be some sort of weak trick, but it really isn't. But this one, bit of a letdown, which I admit is rare for Action Lab.
Fancy revisiting this, Dr Lab? Adam Savage would do it!
I've done it with a 2l plastic bottle. Quite impressive. You don't need the water but it the water makes it a lot quicker since the energy transfer is faster.
"It just keeps coming!"
*Yeah, I'm done here.*
lol! I was looking for this comment XD
I love how you low-key show off your awesome pool with this video lol.
Literally can't believe you thought the bottle would sink without significant extra weight! I thought you understood physics.
yeah me too I instantly questioned his credibility
Rather like President Trump allowing people to return to work to soon (if he does... I mean).
Average High School Graduate: "I thought he had infection disease experts advising him??"
I facepalmed. It's like a boat.

Ah, I see a moron has Trump on the brain, 24/7. He owns your life, idiot. He exposed you all as petty fools. We laugh at you.
Well the problem is that, he's a human......puny humans and their mistakes...
Dudeeeee.... It even gave me goosebumps! NEVER WORK WITH LIQUID NITROGEN AGAIN WITHOUT PROTECTIVE GLASSES!
This is extremely serious - a tiny bit in your eyes and you will have severe permenent damages.
Please consider that and warn people they must be very careful with handling liquid nitrogen.

This guy has risked his life many times in experiments and stuff and was completely fine
Missed out your chance looping 3:05 to 10min
you loved pool heaters
now get ready for pool chillers
This is the most underwhelming video on UA-cam - 5 minutes of bubbles, a long advert and a guy saying the word ‘cool’ over and over again.
You dont watch much youtube do you?
I actually just watched a less exciting video involving a match "volcano" but this is close.
You should demand your money back.
Idiots.... Unsubscribing
Yeah it's not really exciting to watch but he surely had fun doing it
