RIP Nigel's floor

I am a plastic research guy... Generally, most of the plastics that we use in our daily household or workplace have flexibility at room temperature. Some plastics like PP, HDPE also has crystallinity due to which they are tough and long lasting. Coming to flexibility of these plastic container/buckets/treys, it comes from their segmental mobility upon stretching. When such plastics were kept frozen for long time in a deep freezer they tend to become too hard and lose their flexibility due to a lack of segmental mobility. When it comes to pouring liquid nitrogen into those buckets you are instantly freezing the polymer chains and they are becoming a glassy material at cryogenic temperature eventually breaking. This is a very good demonstration for students as well, particularly to explain why you should not use a plastic cup to take liquid nitrogen.

I remember a cool liquid nitrogen seminar at a science event when I was a kid, the guy made instant ice cream with it out of cream and a few other fun things… then he demonstrated the instant brittleness from freezing with rubber gloves and plastic cups :) then he showed how it fizzes and boils inside its metal ladle.

@FinnMcRiangabra

Ha Ha. Good one. I regularly use utterly standard HDPE beakers (50 ml) for transferring LN2. I did it today. A convenient benefit is that the thermal conductivity is low, so I can handle the beaker rims with nothing more than nitrile gloves and knit polymer glove liners. The problem in the OP video seems to be a differential thermal expansion problem (the cold parts both contract and become brittle, but build up thermal expansion stress due to the constraint of the un-cooled parts around them).

The tray has great comedic timing

This is evidence of why liquid nitrogen is not available at Walmart stores but it seems it is still too easy for some to get a hold of.

There was absolutely no science on display here

Bare hands and liquid nitrogen always go well together!

Nile found a new way to demo without a jackhammer.

You will burn for this.

The Don'ts of Handling liquid N-2, including standing over the tray while assessing damage.

It's all fun and games until someone breaks the building.

"Why is it making that sound?" may be not at the top of the "Things you do not want to hear in a chemical lab"-list, but it's a strong contender for the top 10.

BreakingBad taught me not to pour acid in the bath. NileRed taught me not to pour liquid nitrogen in plastic.

To walk away from this with your eyesight and limbs is pure luck. Stupid is as stupid does.

I feel like he should know better than that at this point... At least he didn't use the glass bowl. It probably would've also shattered.

Prep is a big part of science experimentation

"Why is it bending like that?" "Hahahahaha uhhhh..."

this meets the definition of a major chemical spill

The container is full... continues to fill, and excitement ensues.

“Adult Supervision Required” 🙄

You should see the face of the guy downstairs. "Hello, Vatican? I need an exorcist. The ceiling just started smoking."

Proper prior planning prevents piss poor performance.

Looks like you spilled some science on the floor...

The people who make the biggest mistakes didn’t know that they were making them.

That's why kids need adult supervision.

Doing all this and no protective equipment.

So, this is what the opposite of arson looks like.

Meanwhile in the lab on the floor below ....

As soon as I heard him set the tray on the floor and noticed it was plastic, I knew we would be in for a treat

CORRECT STUPIDITY KNOWS NO LIMITS.

More lack of accountability

*very* high IQ right here. impressive. really.

That floor could be pretty expensive/difficult to fix.

Yeah the safety gear and precautions when I got to handle liquid nitrogen for a student lab are nowhere to be seen here lol

That's what happened to the titan.

Pretty dangerous way to pour nitrogen. You got off lightly.

So lets just hope no one in building management watches Nile

The floor is lava, no liquid nitrogen!

"is it gonna hold?!" Nile: "Uhh..." *proceeds to pour a huge tank into it*

Spilling that stuff on your shoes could have gone really wrong.

um, you've just seen it destroy the plastic container and the floor, why would you touch it with bare hands?

anyone else notice the cooler behind Nile's head that probably would have worked out much better?

0:52 - "Is it, is it gonna' hold?" / "Uh..."

that is an unfoldable tray he did not unfold

even nile get mess stuff

sooooo do you know that security deposit? don't think we're getting it back

Mom always said, "Don't pour liquid nitrogen in the house"

Why no personal protective equipment? No gloves🧤or eye protection 🥽 or overalls 🥼

Is this a re-upload or am I a time traveller?

Nigel could make 10 different youtube channels and we would watch all of them

the best part 'it is what it is'

0:50 "Is it gonna hold?" "Uhh." *awkward silence*

I predict that table will inexplicably move about 3'.......

Why is this channel not named “NileInfraRed”?

In high school, our chemistry teacher demonstrated chilling various items in liquid nitrogen. A racquetball so treated then shattered when he tossed it against a wall (I kept a sliver of it as a souvenir for a long time because it looked so cool), so I knew Nile's container didn't stand a chance.

As someone who used to work with Liquid Nitrogen. (LN) Always wear a Cryo glove on at least one hand when liquid is present in liquid form outside of the storage container. If something goes wrong you have at least one hand to react with. Only pour LN over a carpeted surface (or carpet tiles) . that is larger than the receiving container. Carpets are great at catching the spill and reduces the spread area while it changes back to gas state. Stainless steel, and borosilicate glass are the best thing to hold LN outside of the storage container. They can withstand the rapid change in temperature the best. Avoid aluminum and plastics. Aluminum will warp (This is why bakers and cooks allow aluminum pots and pans to cool before washing them) and many but not all plastics will often shatter. It is hard just by looking and touching a plastic to know if it will shatter or not. Finally with playing with LN and food make sure ALL ln has evaporated from the food before eating it.

not a mech engineer lol

2:00 some experiments involve detailed planning, rigorous experimentation, and peer review from multiple colleagues other experiments involve pouring a bunch of liquid nitrogen on the floor and saying "yep, floor broke"

Camera man looking at the pretty much compromised plastic tray: "Is it gonna hold?" Nile: LIQUID NITROGEN GOES GLUG GLUG GLUG GLUG

Up to now, I thought that was a bare concrete floor. Starting now, I wonder why it's not a bare concrete floor.

I would have been worried about suffocating

The tensile strength of the floor covering wasn’t high enough to withstand the forces exerted when contracting as the temperature dropped from the liquid nitrogen.

Only Nile would do something like this he could've used glass or metal, but it had to be plastic

I'm pretty sure he didn't just "forget" to wear and protective gear for the views.

2:37 "A container can't take it." You mean: "A container can't CONTAIN it." Ya?

"We did some science.."

At least he didn’t freeze parts of himself. His occupational health and safety is not good.
