well. This effect is because of spilling. Spills are only microseconds of contact and very spread out. When you dip your hand in you are reducing the surface area for heat transfer. This is why reactor containment domes need to be as perfectly level as possible, because if it isn't it pools in a tiny spot and melts through the containment dome. The more you know.
It only works if it's poured moderately. If you pour a half a ton of nitrogen you will be submerged and freeze to death. That whatever bubble effect won't work.
A human body gives off heat. The surronding air just above the skin is slightly warmer than the rest of the air. That temperater is just warm enough to boil the liquid nitrogen before it reaches the skin. That is why there is a nitrogen gas barrier like she explained.
@ethanstevenson3561 That is all theoretical. There are people who are cold blooded and their extremities do not give off heat. They are cold as a corpse.
The flower breaking was so satisfying, it feels like a dream I had where everything around me was very fragile and broke upon touch like very thin sugar glass
That's amazing I never knew that the liedenfrost effect did that btw to all the people saying that how do u know what is but didn't know what it does there are many different effects of it.. So chill
It also works the same with extreme heat. The heat will evaporate the sweat from your skin, resulting in the same gas barrier. But is maybe less forgiving than the nitrogen. Moral of the story, you aren't in immediate danger. Just don't take a bath in liquid nitrogen or lava
Basically the temperature between the nitrogen and her hand has so big difference, that the nitrogen liquid just creates small gas layer between them and the rest of the liquid just bounces and drips off. This don't mean that you can put your hand into the canister tho, but you can see the same effect if you drop cold water on hot stove or frying pan.
That's actually really interesting to see the leidenfrost effect works both ways I only discovered it while watching a daily dose of internet video a while back when a guy splashed his hand through molten metal, It actually makes sense that it would work both ways I was just dumb and thought something to do with the fact that we are made of water and liquid nitrogen is way below the freezing point of water Thank you for explaining this!
why ppl commenting these cringy jokes always use ''mom''? assuming taking care of kids are mom's job or smth? where's fucking useless dads like always??
My uncle used to do that at work as a magic trick for me all the time and never understood it as a kid! Thank you ! That brought back awesome memories and understanding!
@@Amin10XD correct. See the comment is meant to emphasize that the person is experiencing something different and hoping to share that with other people who also may not have been used to this kind of experiment before 🤔
Well, look at the bright side. Your haircut will stay like that from now on. No more need of combing your hair. You sure will look like the next Disney villain, if it's a girl related with cold of course.
@@goddess-phoenixjoraa1700 The Leidenfrost effect is a physical phenomenon in which a liquid, close to a surface that is significantly hotter than the liquid's boiling point, produces an insulating vapor layer that keeps the liquid from boiling rapidly.
They make a type of glove to wear when handling nitrogen. Definitely don’t want to wear latex gloves. With no gloves on a little bit in you hand will cause the liedenfrost affect. Dumping a lot on your hand and you are screwed.
@@agentmiller4188 well “the white version of the elder black lady” was what i was gonna say originally but i narrowed it down but ya never know with people these days
@@phoneusandfroboof829 that's the problem nowadays, people are afraid to just say what they want to say in case someone somewhere has a problem with it. Just be yourself.
My searches after this video are...."flower breaking into pieces like glass" "sound of frozen flower breaking down" "flower dipped in nitrogen breaking sound" "nitrogen flower"💀
