This is how I figure you all sound. Just "yelling" about feet per pixel and core strength.Nutso wrote:

No. I hate attention and tend to disappear in the background. I've been out to eat maybe nine times in my life, and three time waitresses have forgotten my order. It's probably more that I am hideously ugly and they can't bear to look at me. Moe Sizlak ugly.Jim wrote:This is how I figure you all sound.

Nitrogen can exist in a liquid state between -210oC and -195.8oC (-346oF to -320.44oF) under normal atmospheric pressure. That’s pretty damn cold. Back in school you may have had demonstrations where teachers put various objects into it and then shattered them. So shoving your hand in a bucket of the stuff sounds like a BAD idea… Right?
Well, thanks to the Leidenfrost effect, your hand doesn’t actually get seriously messed up (but don’t try it, anyway). You may have noticed the Leidenfrost effect whilst cooking with a really hot pan. If the surface is hot enough (much hotter than the liquid’s boiling point), water droplets ball up into little dancing beads instead of instantly evaporating. This is because an insulating vapor layer forms between the liquid and the hot surface, preventing the rest of the water from touching the hot surface. This slows the heat transfer between the two and thus prevents the liquid from further evaporation.
This also happens when liquid nitrogen comes into contact with a room temperature object, such as your hand. Check out this video for a demonstration:

Re: The Youtube video thread!
My all time favourite bit of understatement was in an article I read describing the Subroc missile, which was used to fire a nuclear depth charge at a submerged submarine. "The warhead is nuclear, with a 5 kiloton yield. A direct hit is not necessary."
Give a man a fire, and you keep him warm for a day. SET a man on fire, and you will keep him warm for the rest of his life...

Yeah, the old quote is 'close only counts in horsehoes and hand grenades.' I amended that to include hydrogen bombs.Graham Kennedy wrote:My all time favourite bit of understatement was in an article I read describing the Subroc missile, which was used to fire a nuclear depth charge at a submerged submarine.

A bit of a blast from the past for me.
