Fun with liquid nitrogen

[giza]

I always wondered what happened if you dumped enough liquid nitrogen into a swimming pool.

I was expecting a lot more... Cesium or Francium would be much more spectacular!! :)

How the hell did they get permission to do that?

Permission?? Ha

That was PengiCon in Livonia Michigan a few months back.

As someone who's worked a great deal with LNO2, I would caution about diving in to the water after such a keen event. Not from the temp, but the layer of NO2 can pool at the surface.

Yeah, I was kind of wondering if the guy would start to drown because of that.
