Throwing a -346°F Snowball Made of Solid Nitrogen

The Swedish name for nitrogen is "kväve", which essentially means "suffocator" in this context.

[@graxxor]

In Japanese it’s Chisso. 窒素 which means Suffocation Substance.

[@matisssvehs5094]

Same in Latvian. Slāpeklis

[@ShaunCheah]

And in Dutch: "stikstof". Chokestuff.

[@waynegnarlie1]

😆

[@Tamamo-no-Bae]

That's pretty cool, but I wonder if there could be a mechanism to press it once it is solid... Perhaps a magnet that could move a pulley to squish it, so you have a solid proper snowball :3 I bet the reaction with the water would have been wilder

[@bugsbunny8691]

Release the vacuum pressure after the launch but before the impact. That would look cool.

Poor Lincoln, keeps getting shot 😔

Hey 1 quick question Does light have GRAVITY... I mean can ENERGY offer gravity....

[@johnarizona3820]

AI: According to the theory of general relativity, yes, energy can indeed "offer" gravity, as any form of energy contributes to the curvature of spacetime, which is what we perceive as gravity; meaning that even though energy itself isn't a force, it can still create a gravitational effect due to its mass-energy equivalence.

[@bluewolfofl7424]

@@johnarizona3820 Isn't matter a huge amounts of concentrated energy? It's huge amounts, in fact, that half a gram of matter was converted into energy (the atomic bomb) and devastated an entire city. So if I had to guess, I'd say energy (photons, in this case) do "offer" gravity.

[@waynegnarlie1]

Good answers. I didn't know the answer before, but I reasoned that since light is affected by gravity that it must also have some.

[@bluewolfofl7424]

@@waynegnarlie1 " A pulse of light carries energy and momentum, and it is deflected by the gravitational field of a massive body. Then, according to Newton's 'actio equals reactio', it is also a source of a gravitational field of its own." Your assumption is spot on as well.

Nitrogen, vacum chamber, magnets? Good ol days ;D

[@danmannz]

If you shoot a temperature camera gun at it while it's solid? will it be super blue (cold) on the screen?

Seriously, dude, why are you this cool? Pun definitely intended!

[@lupedozier762]

This was very interesting!!!!!!!

[@BestSpatula]

Fun fact: Lincoln signed the Morrill Anti-Bigamy Act in 1862, which targeted the practice of polygamy-a central tenet of early Mormonism. While enforcement was minimal during the Civil War, the law symbolized federal opposition to Mormon practices, contributing to some negative feelings among Mormons.

[@DANGJOS]

@The Action Lab What do you think of repressurizing the chamber with *argon,* instead of air, for the nitrogen snow? Since our atmosphere is nearly 80% nitrogen, I think letting the air back in is like steaming the snow as the nitrogen condenses on it and heats it back up. Maybe it would last longer with argon or helium gas instead?

[@TheVirtualArena24]

How do you create liquid nitrogen at home? What we need?

[@sergal2]

Seems like strange, the water with solid nitrogen in it didn’t turn to ice

[@januszzczarnolasu]

is it possible to throw a snowball so fast that it will melt before hitting the ground?

[@isank27]

why does the water not freeze?

[@AA-yv9dn]

What happens if you compress the solid nitrogen into a puck?

[@AndrewDavis1]

Why didn't the water in the pan boil off in the vacuum chamber?

[@JesusIsKing-OfKings]

What happens if you put dry ice inside liquid nitrogen?

[@JonathanZigler]

So does this mean I can neglect friction due to lack of air?

@anipodat394 I am not a bot and I know very well what I'm talking about. If people did not allow themselves to be led only by the layer of attractiveness, they would see very well that these channels do nothing but stress them, while pretending to inform them.

[@EstamosDe]

So, what happens??: Nothing 😂

[@hansjzeller]

What's the thick fog that appears when the liquid nitrogen is thrown into the water? Is it water vapor from the air, because the air is suddenly cooling down from the evaporated nitrogen?

[@mrxmry3264]

wait, what? SOLID nitrogen at -190 celsius? doesn't liquid nitrogen boil at -196? so how can solid nitrogen be warmer than liquid nitrogen? BTW, -346F is -210C, not -190.

[@williamburroughs9686]

Floating most likely because it's ice. Ice expands and would be liter than water. Also, it's hard to tell the difference between water ice and Nitrogen ice just by looking at it. One question. You froze the Nitrogen in a vacuum chamber. So why didn't the water boil or freeze?

[@newtonsbackyard]

Bro is wild for this 💀

[@anipodat394]

I also have an idea, drinking a glass of water, its more hydration than science but could be fun.

[@satishselvam6557]

why is water liquid in the vacuum?

[@waynegnarlie1]

Because it hasn't boiled off (sublimated) yet?

[@DANGJOS]

Water's triple point pressure is much lower than nitrogen's, so nitrogen can freeze before water does. In fact, the water can remain a liquid while the nitrogen behaves like dry ice.

[@vimukthi.]

Just use Celsius
