Achieved some really good flight times with those.

Shouldn't you be wearing safety goggles or a face shield? The big bottle apparently spat out a lot of liquid. That could be pretty nasty if it you would get it in the eye or even just the face. Otherwise a great video and awesome presentation of the experiment.

@@TommyTechnetium totally reckless. LN2 is highly dangerous and I am alarmed at the number amateurs posting videos on youtube for entertainment purposes with no PPE or basic precautions.

[@BadDadio]

[@COD4JESSE]

@@hencole It really is a disturbing trend. And the scariest part of it all, is most of the more popular channels showing such a disregard for safety seem to be ones based out of academia. Which means they are responsible for shaping young minds.

[@ChemikerH2SO4]

@D0ctorF0ster You mean the Leidenfrost effect, which would work if your face was flat. You can quickly dip your hand in LN2 or pour it over your hand. But you cannot hold it in your hand. Also I think the Leidenfrost effect doesn't work with wet surfaces such as eyes, the mouth or the nose. So you wouldn't get damage on your cheeks but you could get damage on your eyes or your lips if a drop of it gets stuck there.

[@fotticelli]

Good illustration of reaction mass. This is why 95% of rocket mass is fuel. Just burning stuff in a rocket engine, illustrated by nitrogen just venting while the bottle is upright, is not going to cut it. Rocket engines need stuff to push against as illustrated by turning the bottle upside down.

[@leolipasti]

Can't stop thinking about the bottle hitting your eye 👀

[@ReverendReverb]

So will the reaction inside the bottle be over with (ideally) before it hits the ground? It looks like a really cool thing to try, but I would be worried if people or properties would get stuck by a gallon-sized makeshift mortar…

I anticipate doing some rocket equation maths would be fascinating. Like, velocity of escaping gasses can only scale up so far, so the force doesn’t scale linearly with size but idk

[@amritpathak6122]

Holding tightly onto a big enough bottle that can lift you will be tough though. Better way would be to tie some heavy stuff to it and check for the max payload it can lift

[@Wordshine77]

For the bigger bottle, should use a completely cylindrical bottle with no handle. And add 3 or 4 fins to it for stability. Make sure it is weight balanced so it goes straight up. Then see how high you can make it go. Have a watcher stand at 50 feet away, or other given appropriate measured distance. Have them record the angle to the highest point of travel. Then use trigonometry to calculate the height.

[@grimreaper2606]

Add some sticks with fins. Go straight for altitude.

[@SotEnjoyer113]

Add weight to the top and 3/4 styrofoam fins around the sides and it will be enough to stabilize it during flight resulting in a higher altitude and less risk of getting blasted in the face by a bottle going at least 50 mp/h
