Cryogenics Contd.!!

Hello everyone--back on the topic of liquid nitrogen, here's an amazing website all about it!

Now there are many of these websites which explain the concept of cryogenics, liquid nitrogen and how to use them, but this website also gives great pictures as well as great suggestions on what to do with some LN2 if you happen to get your (heavily insulated) hands on it. After all, liquid nitrogen happens to be only about 50 degrees warmer than the temperature on the surface of Pluto.

Some of the great experiments on this website include dipping a flower into the liquid and shattering the frozen petals like glass, breaking frozen rubber balls into little pieces, and why should I tell you another-- go see for yourself!!!
