1:30 camera man - “whys it making that sound😰” nile- “hahaha😅”

that's like in a cartoon when they spill acid and it melts a hole in the ground

The interaction at 2:08 is so funny to me - "Did the floor explode?" - "Hahaha... yeah"

Only nile would break his floor and say "well we did some science -ThiS lOokS LiKE It cOuLd bE FiXEd wITh SomE TaPe 😆"

They always write the max temperature on those things, never the minimal temperature.

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.

Bare hands, sneakers & liquid nitrogen? A Darwin Award is your future.

This is truly GROUND BREAKING Thank you very much for 1k likes and I hope that all 1000 of you have a nice day

This was one of the funniest moments I've ever seen on the channel. I remember cracking up watching the original video and this extended cut is so funny. Thanks for posting this LOL

RIP Nigel's floor

re-upload ?

The lack of safety and safety equipment is not good at all or smart!

I'm going to file this under "WTF did you think would happen?!"

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

was expecting one of Nile's feet to break away like in Terminator

I feel like I've seen this already...

no gloves? no safety glasses? no clue? alrighty ... 🥴

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"

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.

Oh, no.

that was insanely dangerous, you both could have been scarred for life.

I'm pretty sure Nile died around 2012 and they are using a different clone everytime because something went wrong with every expermient.

poor, no PPE. Really!

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

why unlisted

Pure brilliance from the "it's good enough" generation. And who the eff needs safety equipment???

Quietly leaves room, building, block...

Bare hands and liquid nitrogen always go well together!

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.

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

Who would have thought that pouring liquid nitrogen all willy nilly would go wrong

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.

Quite the throwback

Gloves was invented many years ago.

The cameraman's questions are so short and simple which makes them 10 times funnier lmao "Why is it bending like that." "Why is it making that sound." "Did the floor explode"

That was COOL

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

The tray has great comedic timing

NO safety gear. NO protective floor mat, NO cryo-certified containers prepared. I'm disappointed in you, @NileRed. :(

Those the hand holds are rather low too!

Prep is a big part of science experimentation

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

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

hm unlisted now

Floor refinish time.

And when the world needed him most he returned... Though I would like to see you appear more often on Safety Third

Recall thermal expansion

Floors broken!

That's what happened to the titan.

"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.

That floor could be pretty expensive/difficult to fix.

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

I wonder how expensive this mistake was

That's not good. It's HILARIOUS!!

it contracted and pulled apart

I would have been worried about suffocating

No PPE.🤔

Nile found a new way to demo without a jackhammer.

Doing all this and no protective equipment.

the floor covering shrunk until it split.

interesting reaction. As its getting way too cold, I was thinking its gonna be IMPLODED instead of EXPLODED.

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

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

this meets the definition of a major chemical spill

Well, that was predictable.

even nile get mess stuff

hmm it "imploded" right? cold shrinks...

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

Inject some silicone sealant once it has thawed.

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

not a mech engineer lol

I hate when that happens

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.

DAMNIT NILEEE

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

Proof that the degree you have hanging on the wall is nothing but a receipt that you paid them money.

I see his using mk 1 protective covering for his arms and hands. What if he dropped the container? Or it slipped? The camerman or the pourer would have been in big trouble. Stupid and dangerous beyond words

yeah our epoxy floor is ruined where we pour ln2 also, it happens

the best part 'it is what it is'

I are a scientemist

Science marches on.

fok around and find out nilered version

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

just using strafor

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

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

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

Is it Deja vu or reupload?

plastics and polymers often "burn" at low temps (learned with dry ice & trash cans to make smoke...) so if you have a vinyl or polymer covering on the floor... in CNC work you use a "martyr board"--wood below that if gouged, your surface below is protected: surfaces under ultra low temperature. substances should also be separated with a material that can be martyred (just not more plastic which, as you can see, "conducted" the cold through to the floor).

I can’t believe you did that without PPE. 😮

totally a safety third moment .... no PPE anywhere !!

For science.

You're performing groundbreaking science, Nile. That's what keeps me coming back.

Proper prior planning prevents piss poor performance.

Concrete doesn’t like localized cold. Or heat. It can’t expand equally and just fractures.

That's a lotta damage!

There was absolutely no science on display here

Why is this channel not named “NileInfraRed”?

Yeah "just flash freeze it" Nigel, another fine idea Nigel.
