  • TT Ball With Hole in or Hero's Engine (10-18)

    As the liquid nitrogen boils, the gas will escape holes and spin a ball or engine. Introducing nitrogen slowly into an apparatus is tricky. Placing one end of a hollow tube into liquid nitrogen causes boiling and expansion, forcing nitrogen up the tube and out the other end in a spray. On floors, liquid nitrogen beads will race downhill, and pouring it across a floor will carry dust to the edges as the nitrogen evaporates. These experiments are dangerous and CERN accepts no responsibility.

    TT ball with hole in or Heros engine

    (10-18)

    As the liquid boils the gas will escape out of the holes and spin the ball or engine. Getting the N 2 inside the apparatus is tricky and should be done slowly in advance.

    Hosepipe - CAREFUL
    (10-18)

    Place one end of a 40 cm length of hollow rubber tube into the N 2. The other end MUST be pointing somewhere safe as N 2 will spurt out of it. The end in the N 2 causes boiling and expansion which forces liquid N 2 up the tube. When it lands on the floor it evaporates spectacularly

    WARNING: on solid floor surfaces, beads of liquid will race downhill across the floor.

    Solid floor in an empty lab


    (10-18)

    Pour liquid N 2 across the floor. Any dust will be picked up by the liquid and taken to the edge of the room. The N 2 then evaporates leaving a dry floor. The N 2 will flow downhill so be careful.

    All these experiments are dangerous and some are more dangerous than others. CERN accepts no responsibility teachers perform them at their own risk.
