Jason I’m sending $25 your way now dry

Jason I’m sending $25 your way now dry ice is solid carbon dioxide with a

ice is solid carbon dioxide with a

ice is solid carbon dioxide with a temperature of about minus 109 degrees

temperature of about minus 109 degrees

temperature of about minus 109 degrees Fahrenheit but that’s at sea level if we

Fahrenheit but that’s at sea level if we

Fahrenheit but that’s at sea level if we put it in a vacuum chamber and suck the

put it in a vacuum chamber and suck the

put it in a vacuum chamber and suck the air out the pressure changes and the

air out the pressure changes and the

air out the pressure changes and the properties of the dryest change as well

properties of the dryest change as well

properties of the dryest change as well now people ask all the time where do you

now people ask all the time where do you

now people ask all the time where do you even get dry ice I just went down to the

even get dry ice I just went down to the

even get dry ice I just went down to the grocery store and picked this up for

grocery store and picked this up for

grocery store and picked this up for about $13 they usually have a container

about $13 they usually have a container

about $13 they usually have a container near the front of the store where they

near the front of the store where they

near the front of the store where they keep it and you can get some as long as

keep it and you can get some as long as

keep it and you can get some as long as you’re over 18 ok cool let’s jump right

you’re over 18 ok cool let’s jump right

you’re over 18 ok cool let’s jump right in clothes make it hard to work with

in clothes make it hard to work with

in clothes make it hard to work with being safe is so restrictive ooh good

being safe is so restrictive ooh good

being safe is so restrictive ooh good stuff hey just a thought will your

stuff hey just a thought will your

stuff hey just a thought will your tongue stick to dry ice if you lick it

mmm apparently not but it is a little

mmm apparently not but it is a little fizzy my tongues local okay so one

fizzy my tongues local okay so one

fizzy my tongues local okay so one problem guys this isn’t gonna fit in

problem guys this isn’t gonna fit in

problem guys this isn’t gonna fit in they’re gonna smash it up a little bit

they’re gonna smash it up a little bit

they’re gonna smash it up a little bit so let’s grab a hammer a little work oh

you think I can karate chop this in half

you think I can karate chop this in half [Music]

[Music]

[Music] [Applause]

[Applause]

[Applause] that’s a lot harder than I thought and

that’s a lot harder than I thought and

that’s a lot harder than I thought and it actually did hurt quite a bit but we

it actually did hurt quite a bit but we

it actually did hurt quite a bit but we did it we did it that is how you break

did it we did it that is how you break

did it we did it that is how you break dry ice there we go all right cool

dry ice there we go all right cool

dry ice there we go all right cool so we’ve got a few chunks of dry ice in

so we’ve got a few chunks of dry ice in

so we’ve got a few chunks of dry ice in there this is that our driest is having

there this is that our driest is having

there this is that our driest is having a private moment look at the way the

a private moment look at the way the

a private moment look at the way the vapor is falling in filling up the

vapor is falling in filling up the

vapor is falling in filling up the container right now what it’s doing is

container right now what it’s doing is

container right now what it’s doing is pushing the oxygen out and filling the

pushing the oxygen out and filling the

pushing the oxygen out and filling the container with carbon dioxide so we’ve

container with carbon dioxide so we’ve

container with carbon dioxide so we’ve got a few good chunks and rice in our

got a few good chunks and rice in our

got a few good chunks and rice in our vacuum chamber let’s go ahead and put on

vacuum chamber let’s go ahead and put on

vacuum chamber let’s go ahead and put on the lid close the valve get this thing

the lid close the valve get this thing

the lid close the valve get this thing fired up let’s see what happens

all right so it actually is pulling

all right so it actually is pulling vacuum pressure it’s probably not the

vacuum pressure it’s probably not the

vacuum pressure it’s probably not the smartest idea to be using a glass

smartest idea to be using a glass

smartest idea to be using a glass container because the dryest can

container because the dryest can

container because the dryest can actually cool down the glass at the

actually cool down the glass at the

actually cool down the glass at the bottom while the glass at the top stays

bottom while the glass at the top stays

bottom while the glass at the top stays warm so that creates a difference in

warm so that creates a difference in

warm so that creates a difference in temperature that could expose a glass to

temperature that could expose a glass to

temperature that could expose a glass to shattering and imploding so it’s a

shattering and imploding so it’s a

shattering and imploding so it’s a little bit dangerous from here I can see

little bit dangerous from here I can see

little bit dangerous from here I can see the gauges probably around 23 inches of

the gauges probably around 23 inches of

the gauges probably around 23 inches of mercury which is about as low as that

mercury which is about as low as that

mercury which is about as low as that vacuum pump can pull I’m going to close

vacuum pump can pull I’m going to close

vacuum pump can pull I’m going to close this valve and turn off the vacuum pump

this valve and turn off the vacuum pump

this valve and turn off the vacuum pump watch the gauge as I do now it’s about

watch the gauge as I do now it’s about

watch the gauge as I do now it’s about 22 inches of mercury but as the dry ice

22 inches of mercury but as the dry ice

22 inches of mercury but as the dry ice continues to vaporize that carbon

continues to vaporize that carbon

continues to vaporize that carbon dioxide you can see the container

dioxide you can see the container

dioxide you can see the container actually starts repressurizing and the

actually starts repressurizing and the

actually starts repressurizing and the gauge is dropping in pressure so just to

gauge is dropping in pressure so just to

gauge is dropping in pressure so just to go a little bit further let’s release

go a little bit further let’s release

go a little bit further let’s release the pressure let’s add a little bit of

the pressure let’s add a little bit of

the pressure let’s add a little bit of warm water to get this thing vaping a

warm water to get this thing vaping a

warm water to get this thing vaping a little bit and then turn the vacuum

little bit and then turn the vacuum

little bit and then turn the vacuum chamber back on let’s open the valve in

chamber back on let’s open the valve in

chamber back on let’s open the valve in three two one

three two one

three two one [Music]

[Music]

[Music] sweet dry ice vapor it actually smells

sweet dry ice vapor it actually smells

sweet dry ice vapor it actually smells like vinegar and I think that’s because

like vinegar and I think that’s because

like vinegar and I think that’s because the proto buddy haha I just poured some

the proto buddy haha I just poured some

the proto buddy haha I just poured some hot water it’s about the hottest I could

hot water it’s about the hottest I could

hot water it’s about the hottest I could get it out of my tap and pouring this in

get it out of my tap and pouring this in

get it out of my tap and pouring this in will actually help insulate the bottom

will actually help insulate the bottom

will actually help insulate the bottom of the glass as well and reduce the

of the glass as well and reduce the

of the glass as well and reduce the chances of it imploding on us oh that’s

chances of it imploding on us oh that’s

chances of it imploding on us oh that’s cool

cool

cool oh man who doesn’t love dry ice

oh man who doesn’t love dry ice

oh man who doesn’t love dry ice [Music]

[Music]

[Music] surprisingly I can actually breathe that

surprisingly I can actually breathe that

surprisingly I can actually breathe that quite well I mean I thought it’d be

quite well I mean I thought it’d be

quite well I mean I thought it’d be stinging my lungs like if you put dry

stinging my lungs like if you put dry

stinging my lungs like if you put dry ice into a balloon and then breathe it

ice into a balloon and then breathe it

ice into a balloon and then breathe it it hurts lungs quite a bit but I can

it hurts lungs quite a bit but I can

it hurts lungs quite a bit but I can breathe this just fine let’s go ahead

breathe this just fine let’s go ahead

breathe this just fine let’s go ahead and add the rest of it

and add the rest of it

and add the rest of it [Music]

so we now have hot water dry ice in our

so we now have hot water dry ice in our vacuum chamber so let’s go ahead and put

vacuum chamber so let’s go ahead and put

vacuum chamber so let’s go ahead and put the lid on and see what happens when we

the lid on and see what happens when we

the lid on and see what happens when we turn on this time this valve open this

turn on this time this valve open this

turn on this time this valve open this valve closed you can see if I actually

valve closed you can see if I actually

valve closed you can see if I actually try and hold this container close the

try and hold this container close the

try and hold this container close the lid will actually start popping up

lid will actually start popping up

lid will actually start popping up there’s nothing I can do about it

there’s nothing I can do about it

there’s nothing I can do about it and if I open the exhaust valve we could

and if I open the exhaust valve we could

and if I open the exhaust valve we could actually get dry as vapor shooting out

actually get dry as vapor shooting out

actually get dry as vapor shooting out of that looks cool let’s right out of

of that looks cool let’s right out of

of that looks cool let’s right out of the movies like a busted pipe line or

the movies like a busted pipe line or

the movies like a busted pipe line or something sweet okay let’s close that

something sweet okay let’s close that

something sweet okay let’s close that off and turn on the vacuum three two one

[Music]

[Music] oh and we actually are pulling back in

oh and we actually are pulling back in

oh and we actually are pulling back in pressure that’s surprising to me because

pressure that’s surprising to me because

pressure that’s surprising to me because with how much vapors coming off I

with how much vapors coming off I

with how much vapors coming off I wondered if that would kind of

wondered if that would kind of

wondered if that would kind of neutralize if it equalized but we’re at

neutralize if it equalized but we’re at

neutralize if it equalized but we’re at about 13 inches of mercury right now and

about 13 inches of mercury right now and

about 13 inches of mercury right now and steadily increasing so there used to be

steadily increasing so there used to be

steadily increasing so there used to be a really dense thick white fog and that

a really dense thick white fog and that

a really dense thick white fog and that has been reduced to the point now where

has been reduced to the point now where

has been reduced to the point now where I can actually see the dry ice blocks

I can actually see the dry ice blocks

I can actually see the dry ice blocks inside there still is a white vapor but

inside there still is a white vapor but

inside there still is a white vapor but that is slowly being pulled out if you

that is slowly being pulled out if you

that is slowly being pulled out if you look closely you can even see a little

look closely you can even see a little

look closely you can even see a little bit of that vapor flowing down the tube

bit of that vapor flowing down the tube

bit of that vapor flowing down the tube here to the vacuum pump now I’m not

here to the vacuum pump now I’m not

here to the vacuum pump now I’m not exactly sure how good it is to be

exactly sure how good it is to be

exactly sure how good it is to be running carbon dioxide and water vapor

running carbon dioxide and water vapor

running carbon dioxide and water vapor into a vacuum pump but hey it’s for you

into a vacuum pump but hey it’s for you

into a vacuum pump but hey it’s for you guys it’s for science

guys it’s for science

guys it’s for science all right so update guys we’re down to

all right so update guys we’re down to

all right so update guys we’re down to about 20 inches of mercury right now so

about 20 inches of mercury right now so

about 20 inches of mercury right now so let’s just flip the valve open let all

let’s just flip the valve open let all

let’s just flip the valve open let all the air back in and see what happens

the air back in and see what happens

the air back in and see what happens oh and now you can hear it bubbling

oh and now you can hear it bubbling

oh and now you can hear it bubbling again that’s interesting so we tried a

again that’s interesting so we tried a

again that’s interesting so we tried a massive amount of dry ice in a container

massive amount of dry ice in a container

massive amount of dry ice in a container what would happen if we just tried a

what would happen if we just tried a

what would happen if we just tried a very small amount of dry ice let’s break

very small amount of dry ice let’s break

very small amount of dry ice let’s break off a small chunk throw it into our

off a small chunk throw it into our

off a small chunk throw it into our pressure cooker and just see what

pressure cooker and just see what

pressure cooker and just see what happens there throw that in set the

happens there throw that in set the

happens there throw that in set the vacuum on gauge is rising rising fast

vacuum on gauge is rising rising fast

vacuum on gauge is rising rising fast now that looks good oh yeah that’s a lot

now that looks good oh yeah that’s a lot

now that looks good oh yeah that’s a lot faster and we had all that dry ice in

faster and we had all that dry ice in

faster and we had all that dry ice in there we’re almost up as far as this

there we’re almost up as far as this

there we’re almost up as far as this thing can go right now 22 inches of

thing can go right now 22 inches of

thing can go right now 22 inches of mercury oh wow look the Dreyse is

mercury oh wow look the Dreyse is

mercury oh wow look the Dreyse is shaking a little bit

shaking a little bit

shaking a little bit it’s like vibrating looks really nervous

it’s like vibrating looks really nervous

it’s like vibrating looks really nervous right now if I grab this lid and shake

right now if I grab this lid and shake

right now if I grab this lid and shake it there’s no way that’s coming off but

it there’s no way that’s coming off but

it there’s no way that’s coming off but interestingly enough like the dry ice

interestingly enough like the dry ice

interestingly enough like the dry ice isn’t doing much in there it’s still

isn’t doing much in there it’s still

isn’t doing much in there it’s still sublimating like it normally would but I

sublimating like it normally would but I

sublimating like it normally would but I don’t know if it’s sublimating any

don’t know if it’s sublimating any

don’t know if it’s sublimating any faster but I really have no way to gauge

faster but I really have no way to gauge

faster but I really have no way to gauge that so yeah dry ice in a vacuum is very

that so yeah dry ice in a vacuum is very

that so yeah dry ice in a vacuum is very anti climatic nothing’s really happening

anti climatic nothing’s really happening

anti climatic nothing’s really happening so there you have a guys a very fun and

so there you have a guys a very fun and

so there you have a guys a very fun and a very cool experiment with dry ice and
