YT2095 Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 no, the pressure would build up and it would explode, providing the coldness didn`t shatter the plastic like it were glass
-Demosthenes- Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 That makes me want to try it! Why would you want to spy it at things??

-Demosthenes- Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 Serious? What's wrong with my post? I don't think I get the first question then.
smokey-nitro Posted February 2, 2004 Author Posted February 2, 2004 ok i was not gonna let my idea out but i was thinkin of makin a back pack or rather designing one that sprayed LN2 at chewing gum on the ground and then shatter it and scrape up off streets its ingenous jus designing it is hard i was think of a presure think that let out presure when it got to much and the presure in side would pump it through so no pumpin and lower presure ta-da

It would be dangerous and horribly impractical. Hot jet chewing gum removers work fine. Liquid nitrogen is a bit... well, overkilly.
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 You need to keep it cold, and if you don't freeze your back off, it would probably warm up and explode. That stuff is less than -200 degrees!
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 Hey! Don't do that to me! Would make that backpack anyway?
-Demosthenes- Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 Seems like it would shatter the street or the sidewalk also.
-Demosthenes- Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 It could be use as a wepon, right? That would be awesome!
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 I think the word is "devastating" Seriously, freeze someone and touch them, they'd shatter!
greg1917 Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 A ridiculous idea thats not only totally unecessary, but dangerous, expensive and pointless. Liquid N2 has loads of practical applications already.
-Demosthenes- Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 I'd pay good money to see things get shattered! He could make a TV show!
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 Dip a flower in it, tap it, and POOF, no flower! Oh, and you can make ice cream with it. It's supposed to be really good.
Glider Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 I have worked with liquid nitrogen. I even used it to cool new valve seats to insert them into pre-heated heads (nice tight fit). It's a low pressure medium which can be kept in a thermos. It's not particularly dangerous (although I wouldn't dip a finger in it), and it's actually very good at freezing and shattering chewing gum from pavements. Give it a little spray, the apply a steel scraper and it comes off very cleanly.
