[SF Demo] Liquid Nitrogen

[10th retro gm | paxton hayes]

Liquid Nitrogen

Many experiments can be performed with liquid nitrogen, and the person running the demo gives a brief explanation of each of them showing a total of four different demonstrations. Starting off with creating a cloud by taking boiling water and quickly dumping some liquid nitrogen into it, then they stand tall holding a flower in their hand. All it takes is a tiny bit for the flower to freeze and just hitting it hard on your hand can shatter the petals. Exploding a bottle seems easier. All it takes is filling a bottle about ten percent full, then placing a cap on it, and then stepping back and watching it explode, and the last thing the demonstrator shows is creating a bottle rocket. This is extremely dangerous, and they advise you to be careful. Taking a plastic bottle and filling it about 1/3 of the way up with water, then adding ten percent liquid nitrogen to it. Then taking a gloved thumb and covering the opening loosely, turn the bottle upside down. The liquid nitrogen will expand and create a bottle rocket.

Kevin Leo

Blowing stuff up sounded like a great time to Kevin, so naturally, he signed up for the 'Fun With Liquid Nitrogen!' event. Like, seriously, how could that not be fun? Even if he wasn't good at it, it would at least be enjoyable. Making stuff explode was basically one of his hobbies.

Okay, not even just "basically". It really was one of his hobbies. He definitely made things blow up more than was socially acceptable. He loved to mess around with chemicals, and probably should've been accidentally killed with some of the chemicals and things he'd combined over the years, but here he was, still kicking.

There was a demonstration as to what to do with the liquid nitrogen, and Kevin only half paid attention. He kept getting distracted by random things in the room, like someone fidgeting with something at their seat. Regardless, when it came time for the actual experiment, Kevin did his best to put his ADHD to rest, and focus on the task at hand. Easier said than done, however.

He tried to remember what he was supposed to do. The water was supposed to be boiling, right? Each thing he was supposed to do, he wracked his brain for how he was meant to do it, hoping he'd do it right and not cause himself to get hurt or get in trouble in the process. Now wasn't the time to cause problems. He'd save that for at home in his next science class.

NOAH BLOW

He felt like a five year old kid again. Giddy. His leg bounced in his seat as he watched the demo. Soon, like many others, he was on his feet. It was maybe a bit silly to cheer for an organic interaction but there was really something quite spectacular about the way liquid nitrogen behaved. Noah gave a little clap as the demo rocket too flight. And then, seemingly at once, everyone pounced on the stations.

Noah chuckled. He'd have been happy to give the fair organizers some pointers on crowd control. Instead, he folded his arms and waited along the sidelines for the crowd to thin. He nodded a few hellos, vaped, watched. It was really quite entertaining having so many people from outside the district congregated. He considered slipping a few of his business cards into jacket pockets as he finally took his turn at the stations.

esra perry;

I gotta be honest here - for the first time in a long while, sheesh - I've no clue what liquid nitrogen is. I don't even know how to spell nitrogen! Nite-row-gin? Nigh-truh-gin? Oh who cares! I see people doing cool sciency shit with steam or... like, cold breath, or whatever. And I gotta get in on that! You think I'd get this kind of experience at shitty ol' District Five High School? Fuck no! I mean, I could certainly buy some questionable substances in the school yard that would make my brain feel like it was freezing in the middle of a heat wave. But when am I ever at school anyway? I bunk off half the time to go loitering or shoplifting, like any other good-for-nothing white-trash rebellious teenager does!

So I wanna make shit blow up man! Let's do this!
