Hi everyone, welcome back to Cody's Lab.
So today we're gonna be dropping liquid oxygen into the canola oil, I've done this before.
But this time what we're gonna do is contain the oxygen inside of something so that
it will actually get down into the oil before it explodes.
Now, I thought about using glass first
But as soon as I put the oxygen in the glass, the glass just shatters.
It's uh, pretty hard for me to find a bottle that actually uh, would work.
Because the soda-lime glass really can't handle the temperature changes.
And I'd imagine as soon as it hit the uh, liquid
even if I did manage to keep it
It would uh, just explode as soon as it hits the top of the liquid
because of the sudden changes in temperature. So let's get rid of that.
Then I thought maybe I could use plastic.
I didn't think it would work all that well.
So what I actually decided to go with is steel.
This uh, tin can here.
Originally uh for uh, pipe dope and stuff.
I took the brush out.
I'm gonna put the oxygen inside of here.
Seal it up.
And when we have this drop into the oil,
It's gonna build a lot of pressure before it finally explodes.
So it's gonna create an explosion down underneath the oil.
If this doesn't do a very spectacular explosion I don't know what will.
Like last time, I'm using my little dropper apparatus
We put this in here.
It's gonna come over.
Like this.
And the it's gonna drop it. See?
Alright.
Let's not put it in there yet.
I'll be pretty far away down there.
I got multiple cameras so this ought to be pretty interesting.
Alright, the oil's on fire now.
Very nice.
I have my uh, liquid nitrogen with liquid oxygen canister inside of it.
Alright are we good?
Alright.
Kanyon : Oh dang.
Cody : Yeah
Cody : That was amazing.
Cody : Look at this.
Cody : There's a... ring of... smoke up there.
Alright so the fire's all out
everything's cooled off.
Look at this pan.
That is, that is crazy.
That hit it really hard.
Looks like there's the lid to my uh
tin can right there.
Stuck to it.
Yeah
So that must have been uh, facing downward and
that must have been what that thing was in the video
that flew up on top of the shed.
Uh, that is crazy.
Looks like the cows came to see what we were doing.
Cody : Can you see it from here?
*Cody laughs* Kanyon : Yes
So it appears what happened was when the uh,
can went into the oil
it also had some nitrogen go in
because I put some liquid nitrogen around the can to keep the oxygen stable
until it actually went into the oil.
So there was a little bit of explosions before that
Which was the uh, nitrogen dropping in.
And uh, possibly the seal on the can wasn't perfect
so it was leaking a little bit of oxygen and had lots of flames.
But when that finally went of it just
BOOM
up into the air
Threw most of the oil out of the pan.
And there was a huge black smoke ring that was going up into the sky.
Unfortunately we didn't get the camera turned upwards fast enough
so, if I do this again I'm gonna definitely
have a camera like, pointing at the sky or something.
But uh, until then, hope you guys enjoyed and I'll see you next time.
got some liquid nitrogen here
we'll see if it puts the fire out
yeah, i think that did it, put the fire out
good
