hey guys I’m Nate welcome back to the outside of the workshop we’ve got
outside of the workshop we’ve got
outside of the workshop we’ve got another random experiment today we’re
another random experiment today we’re
another random experiment today we’re trying and this one is brought to us by
trying and this one is brought to us by
trying and this one is brought to us by youtuber elite fusion Z who asks what
youtuber elite fusion Z who asks what
youtuber elite fusion Z who asks what does liquid nitrogen do inside of the
does liquid nitrogen do inside of the
does liquid nitrogen do inside of the backyard foundry Elite fusion Z we think
backyard foundry Elite fusion Z we think
backyard foundry Elite fusion Z we think this is a great idea
[Music]
[Music] well let’s let the furnace heat up for a
well let’s let the furnace heat up for a
well let’s let the furnace heat up for a few minutes and then let’s open it up
few minutes and then let’s open it up
few minutes and then let’s open it up and once it’s really good and hot we’ll
and once it’s really good and hot we’ll
and once it’s really good and hot we’ll pour in some liquid nitrogen and see
pour in some liquid nitrogen and see
pour in some liquid nitrogen and see what happens
our furnace is getting nice and hot I
our furnace is getting nice and hot I have a thermos full of liquid nitrogen
have a thermos full of liquid nitrogen
have a thermos full of liquid nitrogen and this metal cup that I’m going to use
and this metal cup that I’m going to use
and this metal cup that I’m going to use as sort of an intermediary I’m gonna try
as sort of an intermediary I’m gonna try
as sort of an intermediary I’m gonna try a few different things first I’m just
a few different things first I’m just
a few different things first I’m just gonna pour some liquid nitrogen from the
gonna pour some liquid nitrogen from the
gonna pour some liquid nitrogen from the cup down into the foundry and then I’m
cup down into the foundry and then I’m
cup down into the foundry and then I’m gonna see what happens if I pour our
gonna see what happens if I pour our
gonna see what happens if I pour our liquid nitrogen into the cup and then
liquid nitrogen into the cup and then
liquid nitrogen into the cup and then carefully lower the whole cup full of
carefully lower the whole cup full of
carefully lower the whole cup full of liquid nitrogen down into the foundry as
liquid nitrogen down into the foundry as
liquid nitrogen down into the foundry as well let’s see the difference quick note
well let’s see the difference quick note
well let’s see the difference quick note I want to apologize for any background
I want to apologize for any background
I want to apologize for any background noise there’s some construction going on
noise there’s some construction going on
noise there’s some construction going on and you might be hearing some of the
and you might be hearing some of the
and you might be hearing some of the sounds from that alright a cup of
sounds from that alright a cup of
sounds from that alright a cup of boiling roiling liquid nitrogen well
boiling roiling liquid nitrogen well
boiling roiling liquid nitrogen well here goes nothing I think it’s just
here goes nothing I think it’s just
here goes nothing I think it’s just gonna make a lot of vapor but I admit I
gonna make a lot of vapor but I admit I
gonna make a lot of vapor but I admit I don’t know for sure
don’t know for sure
don’t know for sure three two one
huh check this out
huh check this out so that bottom just turned black and I
so that bottom just turned black and I
so that bottom just turned black and I think that’s just because it cooled it
think that’s just because it cooled it
think that’s just because it cooled it down so much that it lost all its glow
down so much that it lost all its glow
down so much that it lost all its glow let’s just pour a little bit more on and
let’s just pour a little bit more on and
let’s just pour a little bit more on and see if the same thing happens so it just
see if the same thing happens so it just
see if the same thing happens so it just dissipates but it definitely cooled that
dissipates but it definitely cooled that
dissipates but it definitely cooled that down enough that it lost its orange glow
down enough that it lost its orange glow
down enough that it lost its orange glow for a second it doesn’t take a ton
for a second it doesn’t take a ton
for a second it doesn’t take a ton either so it definitely did something it
either so it definitely did something it
either so it definitely did something it cooled down the board that’s at the
cooled down the board that’s at the
cooled down the board that’s at the bottom of our furnace but overall it
bottom of our furnace but overall it
bottom of our furnace but overall it wasn’t very eventful it just splashes in
wasn’t very eventful it just splashes in
wasn’t very eventful it just splashes in it dissipates very quickly but it’s so
it dissipates very quickly but it’s so
it dissipates very quickly but it’s so hot that you don’t even see any of the
hot that you don’t even see any of the
hot that you don’t even see any of the vapors that you normally see rising off
vapors that you normally see rising off
vapors that you normally see rising off of liquid nitrogen let’s see what
of liquid nitrogen let’s see what
of liquid nitrogen let’s see what happens if we just put our whole cup
happens if we just put our whole cup
happens if we just put our whole cup full of liquid nitrogen down inside the
full of liquid nitrogen down inside the
full of liquid nitrogen down inside the furnace all right I’m gonna have to be
furnace all right I’m gonna have to be
furnace all right I’m gonna have to be pretty quick about this because
pretty quick about this because
pretty quick about this because otherwise it’s gonna start burning my
otherwise it’s gonna start burning my
otherwise it’s gonna start burning my hand but there we go three two one
hand but there we go three two one
hand but there we go three two one that is some very actively boiling like
that is some very actively boiling like
that is some very actively boiling like no it’s still cooling it down on the
no it’s still cooling it down on the
no it’s still cooling it down on the bottom
bottom
bottom he’s just the nitrogen vapors and you
he’s just the nitrogen vapors and you
he’s just the nitrogen vapors and you can’t see nearly as much flame so I
can’t see nearly as much flame so I
can’t see nearly as much flame so I think the nitrogen vapor is filling up
think the nitrogen vapor is filling up
think the nitrogen vapor is filling up the furnace a little bit and it’s really
the furnace a little bit and it’s really
the furnace a little bit and it’s really subdue it mostly is just boiling away
subdue it mostly is just boiling away
subdue it mostly is just boiling away nitrogen is running pretty low that cup
nitrogen is running pretty low that cup
nitrogen is running pretty low that cup has some very very hot parts and some
has some very very hot parts and some
has some very very hot parts and some very very cold parts on it that’s
very very cold parts on it that’s
very very cold parts on it that’s interesting because you know the bottom
interesting because you know the bottom
interesting because you know the bottom of that cup is still freezing cold even
of that cup is still freezing cold even
of that cup is still freezing cold even though the edges of the cup are now
though the edges of the cup are now
though the edges of the cup are now glowing orange I think it’s a steel cup
glowing orange I think it’s a steel cup
glowing orange I think it’s a steel cup so it should be fine but hmm it’s a
so it should be fine but hmm it’s a
so it should be fine but hmm it’s a pretty thin walled steel I’m amazed that
pretty thin walled steel I’m amazed that
pretty thin walled steel I’m amazed that any liquid nitrogen is still in there
any liquid nitrogen is still in there
any liquid nitrogen is still in there that’s very impressive to me that it’s
that’s very impressive to me that it’s
that’s very impressive to me that it’s lasted this long looks like we’re just
lasted this long looks like we’re just
lasted this long looks like we’re just about out and gone oh and that is one
about out and gone oh and that is one
about out and gone oh and that is one hot cup and I’m just gonna splash some
hot cup and I’m just gonna splash some
hot cup and I’m just gonna splash some liquid nitrogen on it and see what
liquid nitrogen on it and see what
liquid nitrogen on it and see what happens
I guess from the point of view of liquid
I guess from the point of view of liquid nitrogen this cup has always been super
nitrogen this cup has always been super
nitrogen this cup has always been super hot I don’t know it’s several hundred
hot I don’t know it’s several hundred
hot I don’t know it’s several hundred degrees hotter right now though no even
degrees hotter right now though no even
degrees hotter right now though no even the bottom of the cup is burning hot
the bottom of the cup is burning hot
the bottom of the cup is burning hot once again not terribly remarkable the
once again not terribly remarkable the
once again not terribly remarkable the liquid nitrogen in the cup in the
liquid nitrogen in the cup in the
liquid nitrogen in the cup in the furnace it boiled faster than normal and
furnace it boiled faster than normal and
furnace it boiled faster than normal and it did darken a little bit the bottom of
it did darken a little bit the bottom of
it did darken a little bit the bottom of this furnace so it was clearly doing
this furnace so it was clearly doing
this furnace so it was clearly doing something there weren’t as many flames
something there weren’t as many flames
something there weren’t as many flames as visible but overall not a huge effect
as visible but overall not a huge effect
as visible but overall not a huge effect from liquid nitrogen in the furnace
from liquid nitrogen in the furnace
from liquid nitrogen in the furnace there’s a couple other variations I want
there’s a couple other variations I want
there’s a couple other variations I want to try first let’s see what happens if
to try first let’s see what happens if
to try first let’s see what happens if we have a cup of water in the furnace
we have a cup of water in the furnace
we have a cup of water in the furnace and we pour some liquid nitrogen down
and we pour some liquid nitrogen down
and we pour some liquid nitrogen down into that cup all right this is a cup of
into that cup all right this is a cup of
into that cup all right this is a cup of regular tap water so that our furnace we
regular tap water so that our furnace we
regular tap water so that our furnace we get a little bit of that same darkening
get a little bit of that same darkening
get a little bit of that same darkening effect just not nearly as much as with
effect just not nearly as much as with
effect just not nearly as much as with the liquid nitrogen now we’ll have to
the liquid nitrogen now we’ll have to
the liquid nitrogen now we’ll have to see how accurately I can pour using
see how accurately I can pour using
see how accurately I can pour using tongs and a metal cup from about a foot
tongs and a metal cup from about a foot
tongs and a metal cup from about a foot up we’ll try and pour this liquid
up we’ll try and pour this liquid
up we’ll try and pour this liquid nitrogen down into that cup of water
nitrogen down into that cup of water
nitrogen down into that cup of water liquid nitrogen pouring into water three
liquid nitrogen pouring into water three
liquid nitrogen pouring into water three two one
well it certainly did something there’s
well it certainly did something there’s still just a little bit of it on the
still just a little bit of it on the
still just a little bit of it on the surface of the water that water at least
surface of the water that water at least
surface of the water that water at least part of it is boiling hot already that
part of it is boiling hot already that
part of it is boiling hot already that is the fastest I’ve ever boiled water
is the fastest I’ve ever boiled water
is the fastest I’ve ever boiled water right there it’s pretty nuts let’s try
right there it’s pretty nuts let’s try
right there it’s pretty nuts let’s try it again
that does look pretty cool I think the
that does look pretty cool I think the biggest effect is that it splashed a lot
biggest effect is that it splashed a lot
biggest effect is that it splashed a lot of the water out of the cup and that
of the water out of the cup and that
of the water out of the cup and that landed on the inside of the furnace well
landed on the inside of the furnace well
landed on the inside of the furnace well there you have it liquid nitrogen into
there you have it liquid nitrogen into
there you have it liquid nitrogen into the furnace not super exciting liquid
the furnace not super exciting liquid
the furnace not super exciting liquid nitrogen in a cup in the furnace also
nitrogen in a cup in the furnace also
nitrogen in a cup in the furnace also not super exciting liquid nitrogen into
not super exciting liquid nitrogen into
not super exciting liquid nitrogen into water in the furnace more exciting the
water in the furnace more exciting the
water in the furnace more exciting the water heated up very quickly and so I
water heated up very quickly and so I
water heated up very quickly and so I was pouring liquid nitrogen into boiling
was pouring liquid nitrogen into boiling
was pouring liquid nitrogen into boiling water surrounded by a ton of heat we did
water surrounded by a ton of heat we did
water surrounded by a ton of heat we did get a big plume of vapor coming off
get a big plume of vapor coming off
get a big plume of vapor coming off because of that but it still wasn’t
because of that but it still wasn’t
because of that but it still wasn’t anything that was really amazing so I
anything that was really amazing so I
anything that was really amazing so I think we need to scale this up to
think we need to scale this up to
think we need to scale this up to something a little bit more volatile
something a little bit more volatile
something a little bit more volatile we’ve tried freezing gasoline in liquid
we’ve tried freezing gasoline in liquid
we’ve tried freezing gasoline in liquid nitrogen before so now let’s take a cup
nitrogen before so now let’s take a cup
nitrogen before so now let’s take a cup of liquid nitrogen pour some gasoline
of liquid nitrogen pour some gasoline
of liquid nitrogen pour some gasoline into it till it freezes solid and then
into it till it freezes solid and then
into it till it freezes solid and then lower the whole thing liquid nitrogen
lower the whole thing liquid nitrogen
lower the whole thing liquid nitrogen and frozen gasoline down into our
and frozen gasoline down into our
and frozen gasoline down into our foundry see what that does
foundry see what that does
foundry see what that does I’m just gonna pour it from this cup
I’m just gonna pour it from this cup
I’m just gonna pour it from this cup into the liquid nitrogen
want a fair amount of frozen gasoline in
want a fair amount of frozen gasoline in there this is gonna be a little bit of a
there this is gonna be a little bit of a
there this is gonna be a little bit of a set and run because the frozen gasoline
set and run because the frozen gasoline
set and run because the frozen gasoline does tend to be pretty volatile so we’ll
does tend to be pretty volatile so we’ll
does tend to be pretty volatile so we’ll see how this goes the liquid nitrogen is
see how this goes the liquid nitrogen is
see how this goes the liquid nitrogen is still covering the frozen gasoline so we
still covering the frozen gasoline so we
still covering the frozen gasoline so we might have to wait for a little bit of
might have to wait for a little bit of
might have to wait for a little bit of it to boil off before the gasoline
it to boil off before the gasoline
it to boil off before the gasoline ignites here we go
well there’s little specs igniting in
well there’s little specs igniting in the air above the vapor of the liquid
the air above the vapor of the liquid
the air above the vapor of the liquid nitrogen this little kind of looks like
nitrogen this little kind of looks like
nitrogen this little kind of looks like fireflies or fairy lights or something
fireflies or fairy lights or something
fireflies or fairy lights or something oh there we go
hey now we have sort of a fire tornado
hey now we have sort of a fire tornado and a furnace
and a furnace
and a furnace I think at this point it’s just burning
I think at this point it’s just burning
I think at this point it’s just burning a cup full of gasoline which is fun
a cup full of gasoline which is fun
a cup full of gasoline which is fun there’s still some boiling going on on
there’s still some boiling going on on
there’s still some boiling going on on the surface I don’t know if any of
the surface I don’t know if any of
the surface I don’t know if any of that’s liquid nitrogen or if that’s just
that’s liquid nitrogen or if that’s just
that’s liquid nitrogen or if that’s just pure gasoline in the cup at this point
pure gasoline in the cup at this point
pure gasoline in the cup at this point that’s a lot of thick black smoke I’m
that’s a lot of thick black smoke I’m
that’s a lot of thick black smoke I’m gonna try putting the lid back on what
gonna try putting the lid back on what
gonna try putting the lid back on what didn’t help it at all fill the propane
didn’t help it at all fill the propane
didn’t help it at all fill the propane it’s still gonna keep burning coz
it’s still gonna keep burning coz
it’s still gonna keep burning coz there’s you know a cup of gasoline in
there’s you know a cup of gasoline in
there’s you know a cup of gasoline in there but yeah still just boiling in
there but yeah still just boiling in
there but yeah still just boiling in there it’s now out there is our cup that
there it’s now out there is our cup that
there it’s now out there is our cup that was full of liquid nitrogen and gasoline
was full of liquid nitrogen and gasoline
was full of liquid nitrogen and gasoline and now it’s full of nothing well there
and now it’s full of nothing well there
and now it’s full of nothing well there you have it liquid nitrogen in a furnace
you have it liquid nitrogen in a furnace
you have it liquid nitrogen in a furnace not terribly reactive until you add
not terribly reactive until you add
not terribly reactive until you add gasoline of course and then it goes
gasoline of course and then it goes
gasoline of course and then it goes about as you expect it’s kind of just
about as you expect it’s kind of just
about as you expect it’s kind of just like lighting a cup of gasoline on fire
like lighting a cup of gasoline on fire
like lighting a cup of gasoline on fire and a furnace which is pretty fun I will
and a furnace which is pretty fun I will
and a furnace which is pretty fun I will push shouldn’t have to say this but
push shouldn’t have to say this but
push shouldn’t have to say this but don’t try this at home
don’t try this at home
don’t try this at home partly because it’s unsafe to burn cups
partly because it’s unsafe to burn cups
partly because it’s unsafe to burn cups low gasoline but more so because it’s
low gasoline but more so because it’s
low gasoline but more so because it’s really kind of a waste of liquid
really kind of a waste of liquid
really kind of a waste of liquid nitrogen there are a lot of more
nitrogen there are a lot of more
nitrogen there are a lot of more entertaining things that can be done
entertaining things that can be done
entertaining things that can be done with liquid nitrogen rather than pouring
