What Is Liquid Nitrogen (Mr. Wizard)

[@AliciapTexas]

I LOVED watching this show back in the day. Miss shows like this

[@robinlynnshipley8163]

Me too! Brings back memories of my childhood in the 80s 😁😀

[@Blade5276]

You never see tv shows with this kind of organic unrehearsed vibe anymore.

[@Doriesep6622]

I always liked it as a kid, because I was glad the kid wasn't some genius.

[@loupelez7183]

[@creativesparks2164]

Called KZbin, Tv is for scripts now KZbin is for stuff like this

[@baloobear1976]

Don is the Bob Ross of science experiments! Soooooo relaxing!!!

[@commander1982]

Well said

[@Muonium1]

I was so desperate for scientific knowledge and information as a kid in the late 80s that I would, to the great annoyance of family, actually attempt to organize my day around being able to watch things like Mr. Wizard and 321 Contact. I now work at an ultra high power laser-driven inertial nuclear fusion facility which does experiments to recreate the interior of stars and planetary cores in the laboratory. Just a few days ago I was able to take a little liquid nitrogen from work to make some LN2 ice cream for my niece and nephew's birthday party. Don Herbert could never know it, but along with thousands of other kids of that era, this man opened up countless vistas of new scientific horizons for us, and shaped my entire life trajectory.

[@mikemodlin]

I was exactly the same way as a kid, same shows and all. Coincidentally, my job in the Army was nuclear, biological & chemical ops & reconnaissance.

[@LP-fy8wr]

Mr.Wizard is the reason I love science and physics !!!! We need more shows like this that teach kids real science and core concepts.

[@JmieYoutube]

I’m sure this kid still remembers how cool this was 🙂

[@LucifersDeathSquad]

Jamie - He's dead

[@ginoyesano5649]

Why would he be dead?

[@LucifersDeathSquad]

@@ginoyesano5649 - He died in a murder suicide. His boyfriend killed him then killed himself. It happened in San Francisco in 1998.

[@ginoyesano5649]

Woa, that's too bad.

[@lekoman]

@@LucifersDeathSquad This sounds made up.

[@T3hN3wB]

I remember watching this episode as a kid. I'm now 42 and remember learning a lot from this show. I remember taking things I learned from the show into school w/ me too.

[@NoNipHamp]

Same❤

[@leilasalera603]

One of my fave shows to watch growing up. Mr. Wizard is not such a grump. I like him. He's a good teacher. He's very encouraging, he gets you to start thinking, analyze and realise/learn from mistakes, and he does not patronize. Kids these days are too privileged.

[@ladynikkie]

Yeah they don't make shows like these anymore. God knows kids nowadays need to learn from shows like this instead of the social media

[@draco-amercon]

I was a kid of the 80s I caught the latter half of his career as Mr wizard. I believe they had his program on the original Nickelodeon channel.

[@SamGuthrie1977]

The world was such a better place in the 80's.

[@shaynecapps5844]

SamGuthrie1977 I agree I remember watching Mr. Wizard's World on Nick every afternoon.

[@rebekahdykema5515]

SamGuthrie1977 when everyone wore sweaters over collared shirts and we didnt have people like trump ruining twitter

[@kalisz01]

...when we didn't have twitter.

[@monsterx3055]

yah we just had trump on life style of the rich and famous.

[@LinkRocks]

No it wasn't. It just that we were kids in the 80s and didn't know what was going on around us. That's what makes being a child so amazing.

[@dylaneliot3582]

I watched this all the time when I was a kid - great to see these episodes again!

[@jacktupp4358]

My favorite show growing up.

[@kokokolamk1749]

"i dont want your hands to get hurt, so i gave you the goggles" 😂😂😂😂

[@kirkpritchard]

I don't think you understand how quotes work.

[@stepvanjoe3469]

Here's a glove but I don't think you need it so give it back! 😄

[@Deadpool_64]

Well anyone knows that you always wear protective eye wear in the lab.

[@nobodyhome31337]

"The goggles do nothing!"

[@WS-gw5ms]

Mr Wizard made me incredibly curious in everyday things. He truly shaped my life.

[@Mr_Chris77]

The kid said car gas...trying to slip one past Mr Wizard

[@ajnode]

fuckin lol

[@jryoung4961]

😂😂😂😂

[@timjung640]

Loved that kid!

[@GetOffUrPhone]

Kid was clever haha

[@Vexen4]

"Now Christain, clean this shit up"

[@safireking729]

Dads would say the same thing lol!

[@ThunderPants13]

This episode of Mr. Wizard taught Jason how he could shove that chick's head into liquid nitrogen and then smash her face on the counter in "Jason X".

[@Kvasir2150]

Brilliant! Lol

[@Yyyyyy5]

Yeah, that was gross sh!t

[@millennialcaveman8383]

This one segment AMAZED me as a kid. Thanks for putting this online.

[@nooyawker377]

I remember watching this back about 87 or 88. This is one of the episodes I specifically remember

[@88Doug]

Ahh, 88! This show is classic. Do you remember the show Dinosaurs when they say, "We're going to need another Timmy" 🤣

[@b_isfor_bethany]

I absolutely loved watching Mr. Wizard as a child in the 80s. I believe watching his show single-handedly got me interested in becoming a scientist. I majored in chemistry and have been working as an analytical chemist for many years. 😊

[@mbgrafix]

I was half expecting Mr Wizard to quickly grab the kid's hand and thrust it into the bowl while yelling, "You see? You see what happens?!"

[@Jason918114]

Lmao! The 80s was a reckless time.

[@privateperson7523]

That was more of a 70s kid thing much safer in the 80s now smash this stuff with a hammer

[@myceliumman7554]

LMAO

[@goldcanyon340.]

I am so proud to have grown up in the 1980’s. I loved this show when it aired on Nickelodeon!

[@julianfelix9372]

Why isn't this show doing re runs on Nickelodeon? I'm a sophomore in highschool and didn't even know that about liquid nitrogen! My science teacher was lazy and really never taught us anything or made us interested he just gave us vocab and notes then we take finals...

[@bfsgman]

So? The science behind it isn't dated.

[@itsnukamoola4488]

You didn't know solid's when getting cold enough will change its molecular structure

[@Tornado1994]

Viacom has alot of MTV Networks old material stored in Vaults.

[@dano4004]

Because its 2 white males..thats why

[@VicRattlehead1980]

lol

[@Lurker1979]

Oh my childhood. Loved this show!

[@walldoo99]

In HS I worked at a carwash fixing hydraulics. My boss asked me where I learned so much about hydraulics and I said, watching mr wizard. He laughed and I said, if you think about it, they don't teach this in school except in physics class and I never took physics, but I did watch Mr Wizard. I figured out what was wrong and then opened the pumps and motors to see how they worked, then fixed them.

[@henrygibson4937]

Man oh man this was one of my favorite shows as a child. Here it is 2019 and still interesting.

[@Spideychu]

I remember watching this at 5 in the morning before going to school….ahh the simple times.

[@JohnSmithZen]

Anyone else here for the nostalgia? I used to love this show back in the 80's and 90's.

[@sarahmattingly6971]

So apparently one of the apprentices of this guy is still around and making KZbin content! My daughter introduced me to it- It’s called “Midnight Science Club”. Pretty much the same vibe as this but in a studio that looks like something out of Mythbusters! 😅

[@cjmarsh504]

I used to wake up before school to watch this guy. I miss these science shows

[@TotallyRadical]

Thank you so much for uploading these and helping preserve this part of our childhoods. ♥️

[@phalanx237]

This is the feller that got me interested in science stuff as a kid I remember sitting at the kitchen table eating cereal and watching this every other morning or so. If only my math skills were ever good in school, which they sure weren't... probably coulda been a chemist or something.

[@mcw0530]

I watched this episode when it was new. Back when kids were not shielded from science. Memories!

[@somebodyfixmyinternet]

Who's shielding kids from science?

[@truthhurts3524]

This was always one of my favorite Mr Wizard experiments.

[@djmoch1001]

Oh my god, I LOOOOVED Mr. Wizard as a kid. Such a trip to see this again, and I think I remember this bit about liquid nitrogen.

[@KirkWilcox]

True story: After smashing the apple and hot dog with a hammer, that kid grew up to be the comedian Gallagher

[@karlysorenson]

I probably watched each episode (at least 2x) YET I have NO RECOLLECTION of the safety message at the beginning of each episode!?

[@unchainedwiththecapt]

OMG you'd never see this show on now.

[@boohcrew8311]

Wild disclaimer at the beginning!😁Bring back Mr Wizard - no, not a remake-replay this one on TV!!

[@BuckandOden]

Cooking with Mr. Wizard. Apple, Rubber, Ball, soldering soup.

[@lucasdavis1964]

Okay, Christian, now I'm gonna teach ya how to make a pipe bomb. Then we'll show those bastards at that damn golf club what happens when you disqualify Mr. Wizard over "property damage."

[@jaubuchon28]

rip my sides

[@coffeenut9588]

I did not expect the springy soldering. You learn something new every day!

I am a science professional in my 30s. I just watched that with great interest - didn't blink once!! :) love Mr Wisard, wow...

Now Christian, we're going to freeze this T-1000 sent back from the future to kill John Connor...

So much better than Bill Nye. Loved this show as child

[@NicolasPrince-j8k]

he was so practical he was the Bill Nye of my generation

[@Brandon-rq3ys]

I love the fact that this show was never staged or scripted. It makes it that much better.

[@warrenyazzie9975]

You've never seen some of the outtakes where he gets annoyed at the kids, have you?

[@polesetti]

very nice, thanks, kid is so lucky to get such a good exposure to such good experiments.. subscribed! and liked! :-)

Aahhhh.. I watched this every Saturday morning cartoons. Circa 1988. 😃

"here's a hot dog" Kid:"rubs it"

[@jerk5959]

His dad trained him well.

[@erikranker5106]

Excellent video. One small error, liquid nitrogen actually boils at −195.79 °C, not 290 degrees below Centigrade as mentioned. 290 degrees below zero centigrade is below absolute zero(-273 below zero centigrade) Absolute zero would be a point where all molecular motion ceases to exist.

[@FightingRimbaud]

Went to school with Mr Wizards grandson in NJ. No one believed him when he said it was his grandfather. He wasn’t kidding!

[@official_nick_knight]

"You ever see a gas as a liquid?" "Like for a car??" "I see... " Classic!!

[@nintendonerdsvideos4727]

well it was the 80s they couldn't say I farted and in my pants was a liquid

[@andyhess8433]

Wouldn't the Leidenfrost Effect protect his hand (at least briefly) from freezing in the liquid nitrogen?

[@Ultratechman]

my favorite show as a kid

[@roberttelarket4934]

I remember him and the great program in the 1960's when I was a teen.

because bill nye is lame...

[@Blahbevava]

Because he's now Bill Nye The PC Left Winged Indoctrination Guy

[@vampov]

Yeah, Mr Wizard doesn't go around saying that people that disagree with his ideas should be jailed and treated as war criminals. Bill Nye is a loser like Al Gore making a name off climate change.

[@The_Mimewar]

My brothers generation had Bill Nye. My generation had Mr. wizard. I watched it on Nickelodeon as often as I could as a kid

[@subaruthug]

He always seems like he's in a bad mood, and ready to start yelling at the kids if they answer the wrong thing.

[@TheLimedew]

Such an amazing precursor to Bill Nye

[@Yyyyyy5]

Bill nye was a douche

[@scott9036]

This is how I understood what happened in terminator 2 as a kid. Great T2 prequel

[@SultrySole]

I got nervous when he asked the kid to bounce the ball. Like, you’re asking a nerd to do sports? Lol

[@LP-fy8wr]

At least he didnt say hey Jimmy hang onto this piece of Cobalt 40 wire and we will see if you become wildly radioactive

[@zeke6319]

Mr. Wizard was so cool back then though me as an adult would not be near any liquid nitrogen. Geez that's dangerous.

[@JohnDoe-re4qy]

I loved watching this show on the rare occasion I found it. But, I feel like he could explain things better for children.

[@bsleezy859]

Don herbert is the Jordan of science Bill nye is his pippen😅

[@alanfike]

Superstar: Don Herbert. Or he would probably say that it's chemistry and physics that are the superstars in this clip. Best of all, they could have chosen anything for the studio. They could have chosen a school lab. But instead they chose a kitchen, because every kid watching probably has a kitchen.
