the finished project. nothing like ice cold, frozen cereal that tastes like ice cream


with this new found power we had to do something great....so we went to wal-mart for shaving cream, and froze it to put on our neighbors porch. observe:

i will not comment on the tank. however, anyone can get liquid nitrogen. just look it up in the yellow pages. as long as you have a proper tank, anyone can get some, as unsettling as that sounds.

oh shit...we stayed hid out until 6:30am for the first person to leave that apartment. the girl stepped in the shit, looks down with a wide open jaw and says "THE FUCK!?!?!??!"

...then she keeps on going to class. her roommates thought it was their neighbor, and they ended up transporting all the fucking shaving cream by dustpan to their neighbors place across the hall. it was priceless. the video is great. we're trying so hard not to laugh that the camera is shaking.

ahhh. good fucking times.

liquid...err frozen liquid nitrogen [lol] is edible?
Click to expand...

Its just nitrogen in liquid form, as long as you wait for it to freeze whatever and don't put the liquid directly on your tongue, i don't see why not.

Thats cool and all, but you paid $950 just to do that stuff?
Click to expand...

hahahaha, no. not a chance. my friend got it in a somewhat legal, yet not costing him any money way. that's about all i can say. we didnt steal it or anything.


but after he got the tank, it's only $30 to fill it up.

Injuries related to liquid nitrogen exposure are usually either attributable to direct contact (face, limbs) or a result of inhalation of the evaporated liquid (damage to the mucosa of the upper respiratory or gastrointestinal [GI] tract). Ingestion of liquid nitrogen is extremely uncommon and gastric perforation has not previously been reported. This article reports such a case.

CASE PRESENTATION

A 13-year-old boy was transferred to our hospital after ingesting of a mixture of orange crystals with liquid nitrogen. This was a part of a science experiment in which students were given orange crystals, liquid nitrogen, and water to mix and produce a frozen drink to demonstrate the freezing effect of liquid nitrogen.

After swallowing the still smoking mixture, he instantly developed an intense burning sensation in the back of his throat and severe abdominal pain, followed by abdominal distention and shortness of breath. On examination in the referring hospital he was hemodynamically stable. Bilateral cervical subcutaneous emphysema was noted. There were no burns to his face, lips, or tongue. There was decreased air entrance to both lungs

[...]

Although liquid nitrogen instantaneously becomes. a gas in room temperature, it appears that the ingestion of a liquid nitrogen mixture may cause mucosal injury and perforation of the intraabdominal GI tract with immediate or delayed presentation; symptoms may be unrelated to the true nature of the more severe pathology. High index of suspicion of a possible gastric injury (despite lack of facial or oropharyngeal findings) should be maintained and can lead to a prompt diagnosis and an appropriate management. Efforts should be made to educate the general public and especially science teachers regarding the potential harmful effects of liquid nitrogen in food products.

people make liquid nitrogen ice-cream all the time.

It's supposed to taste much better than regular ice-cream, because there's somethnig different about the way it feeezes (but don't ask me what, because I can't remember).

It's more the texture that is different, as the ice-cream mixtures freezes too quickly for large crystals to form. As a result, its very smooth.

Messing about with LN2 (in a responsible manner) is perhaps the best thing. Ever.

Note to self: Google FAQ on making liquid nitrogen ice cream later.
