Chemistry Professor Roy Lowry experiments with Liquid Nitrogen and the results explode on the web.
The experiment took place at Plymouth University on July 26. Lowry explains the dangers of storing liquid nitrogen. A liquid with the ability to maintain temperatures below the freezing point of water. This ability allows liquid nitrogen to have a wide variety of uses.
It can be used as a coolant for computers and cameras, in cryogenics for preservation, and it can be used to make ice cream. However, it's uses go much further than those listed.
As Lowry explains, storing liquid nitrogen in a one-liter bottle is "perfectly safe." He continues, "but one thing you really shouldn't do, is screw the cap on." The video explains why.
This video is not professor Lowry's first. This video from 2008 documents his experiment with a jelly baby, reports Yahoo!.
With experiments like these, Lowry is quickly becoming a sensation to not only his students but to anyone with internet access. The liquid nitrogen video has already exceeding 70,000 views.
