- That's full.
Took me three weeks to make this.
- Really?
This is nuts.
(dramatic music)
- Big thing here is called a doer.
- A doer?
- It's like a big thermos.
It's like a big, glorified one of these things.
When I was asking Justine, what would she do
with liquid nitrogen, she said, will it blend?
So, we're gonna try and mix it up.
- Let's start off with some ice cream.
What we're gonna do is we're gonna melt the ice cream first.
- I got a piece of styrofoam in here,
just kind of blocking out the mouth.
When you pull that out you can see
kind of the cryogenic vapor, it wafts out with it.
There is a lot of liquid in there,
which we're gonna transfer into this thermos
just for convenience.
This is one of the coldest-- - Is it gonna be heavy?
- Substances on earth.
But it won't freeze you right away.
- Okay, would it freeze a body?
- [Grant] Oh, yeah.
- Holy crap, this is so neat.
I can't believe what's happening right now.
- [Grant] So I'm just gonna stop it there for a second,
we're gonna give that thermos a second to cool down.
Look at how it's going crazy.
It's actually making like a little vortex
or cyclone in there.
- [Justine] Yep.
- [Grant] Because it's extracting all the heat
from the plastic and cooling it down.
- [Justine] Oh, God.
- [Grant] You hear it cracking?
- Yes. - Yes.
Now tip it more upright so we can get more in there.
No, upright.
- [Justine] Upright.
- [Grant] There you go.
- [Justine] Oh boy, I'm so scared.
Holy crap.
Oh, I spilled on the floor, is that bad?
- [Grant] It's gone already.
- It's gone, It's gone already, oh geez.
- So we will put that right over there.
You can see it's nice and vapy.
Liquid nitrogen, it is one of the coldest substances
on earth, but if you're quick enough,
you can actually put your fingers into it.
- Wow.
- Without freezing them.
And if you accidentally spill some on your countertop,
- [Justine] Yeah get that, get that.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- [Grant] It may start skittling around,
- [Justine] Whoa, whoa!
- And it just like flows right off.
See that, look at that, look at those little beads.
Look at this one, look at this one.
So, the question is, is liquid nitrogen so cold
that if we poured it into a blender,
the glass will crack?
If it cracks and spills out, that's no good.
We kinda lose everything and it's a little anticlimactic.
Although that would look cool.
- True, but, now if something starts happening
should we just unplug this?
- I guess we'll find out--
- Okay. - When we get there, yeah.
- Some ice cream soup.
Alright, so we've got our ice cream
nicely mixed up and melted.
- Are you okay?
If you feel it hit your hand,
just wiggle your hand a little bit.
That looks cool, right there.
- Wow, okay so now what do we do?
- So let's just go ahead and set these down
right there, there's two little spikes at the top
we gotta make sure we don't puncture.
And I guess I'm gonna have to kind of lean that in.
Safety glasses on for safety.
- Should we move maybe the fire extinguisher?
- You know what I love about this is we're dealing
with liquid nitrogen and we just have a random
fire extinguisher hanging around.
- Yeah, that was from our previous.
- That was from our last video, which you need
to go check out on my channel.
- Oh geez, oh, my God!
It's incredible.
- You're not gonna want to miss it because---
- I light on fire.
- She got lit on fire.
- Should we move that?
Like I don't know what's gonna happen.
- Not a bad idea.
- Yeah, maybe we'll move everything.
Do I need my lab coat?
- You know things are getting serious,
when you start busting out the lab coat.
Alright, so we're about to do this.
Safety measures in place?
- Yes.
- Alright, I'm gonna grab the top and the bottom
and I think we're second button in from the left.
- So we have a bunch of different options,
we have grind, dice, puree, should we do puree?
- I think kind of like grinding,
cuz I wanna like grind the bottom of that styrofoam cup
and just watch the nitrogen seep out.
Okay, watch the bottom here, cuz once that tears open,
we're gonna see probably a lot of vapor.
- Do you got the shot?
- [Man] Yeah, I can get closer.
- You can, it's okay, he's our friend.
(laughing)
Alright, Ready?
Oh, God, I'm so scared.
- [Grant] Oh my gosh, look at all the vapor,
that started coming out.
- [Justine] Wow, should I keep spinning?
- [Grant] Look at the bottom, look at the bottom,
yeah, spin it again, wow.
(whirling)
- [Justine] Oh my God!
- [Grant] It's actually spinning inside the styrofoam cup,
look at this, look at this.
It's actually spinning inside the cup.
I think the styrofoam got stuck to the blender blades.
- [Justine] I think it did.
- Let's go ahead and pull that out.
Oh yeah, it is stuck on there pretty good.
- [Justine] Probably cuz it's frozen.
- [Grant] Look at that.
(dramatic music)
- Look at that, look at that.
- [Justine] Should we pour some ice cream in there?
- That's frosty, right?
So I'm gonna fish some of these styrofoam chunks out.
Let's put that on and just watch the nitrogen by itself.
- [Justine] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
(laughing)
- Oh my God.
- [Grant] Wow!
- Oh my God.
I love it!
- I can't keep this thing on, it keeps popping off.
All the pressure, it keeps popping it off.
Oh and not only that, I think this
is kinda like frozen solid, too.
- Oh man, I'm having the best time!
- That is amazing.
- God, should we throw some ice cream in there?
- So, with all those styrofoam chunks,
I don't know if that would be appetizing, but look at this,
all of our nitrogen is almost gone.
- Wow!
- Like, that happened fast.
Let's go ahead and try it one more time with the lid off
- [Justine] Okay.
- And burn off the rest of the nitrogen.
- Alright.
- So yeah, go to puree.
(upbeat music)
- Oh my God!
- There we go, anything left?
Nope, there's nothing but cold air.
You know what really impresses me about this blender
is that the container held up to the nitrogen like that's--
- This was a 26 dollar blender.
I was so afraid it was gonna break and explode.
- Yeah, I was expecting it to crack and all the nitrogen
to leak out, like these are cryogenic temperatures.
You know what would be really, really, really, really fun?
Is to get some hot water, like boiling on the stove.
And then like as that's spinning, pour the boiling water in.
- What will happen?
- Epic-ness will happen.
- Alright. - Trust me.
- Hey, I'll boil some water.
(laughing)
I've never used this pot filler before.
So why not use it to put liquid nitrogen boiling water?
- Just look at this cup,
that's all the damage the blender did.
And then, the cup just started spinning freely
inside of the container.
Like now, that it's starting to warm up,
the bottom of the glass is starting to crack.
- [Justine] Oh it's definitely starting to crack.
- You can actually see it cracking in real time.
We should put a little nitrogen in to cool it back down.
And I think it warmed it up a little bit too much.
- Well I guess while this is heating up, what would happen
if we dumped some of it just into the ice cream?
- That's a good idea.
We've never tried this before,
liquid nitrogen ice cream, I know it has been done,
but it hasn't been done by us.
- Or in my kitchen.
- We have melted ice cream mix in the microwave,
it's actually quite warm.
And I don't know how much is too much, so.
You think that's good?
- Yeah, that's good.
- Okay.
(upbeat music)
Anything?
- Well, I can't see.
- [Grant] This looks like some kind--
- This looks awesome. - Of a witch's brew.
Oh gosh it's splashing out on my hands.
- Oh no.
- [Grant] Oh look, it's clumping up!
Oh, look at this.
- [Justine] Oh, some stuff is happening.
- Well, it's like bubbling on the bottom, which looks great.
- Yeah, this is good. - I'm gonna add
a little bit more. - Looking great.
- Alright, yeah, you got all this clumping up on here,
that looks a lot like ice cream.
You want to try a bite and just see how it tastes?
- You know, I was thinking you might want to try it first.
You let me know how it, you go for it.
I'm lactose intolerant.
- Lactose intolerant, okay I'll give it a shot.
What's the worst that could happen?
I think we're getting there.
See like, if you look at this right now,
you can see some of it's clumping up.
And the cool thing about this is,
because we're not adding water, like chunks of ice,
it won't dilute the taste at all.
- [Justine] Do I just dump it?
- That face, I love it.
Yeah, let's go with that.
- Should I stop? - Oh look, look,
It just made like a layer.
- Wow, it's an ice pancake!
- I think we got the consistency of like a soft serve now.
- Oh wow.
- [Grant] And I'm just like stirring them
to get rid of some of those chunks.
- It's fine to eat though, right?
- Oh yeah, well, when you think of what's in the atmosphere,
it's 79 percent nitrogen, that you're breathing in.
And 20 percent oxygen.
I mean, this was nitrogen, but now that
it's transferred the cold, the nitrogen is gone,
so it really is just ice cream.
- Wow, reverse engineered ice cream, this is good!
- That is good, that's how you rejuvenate your ice cream
after it's like melted.
- Yeah, spend three weeks making liquid nitrogen
in your basement like totally calm
and normal. - Worth it (laughs).
- Definitely worth it.
- And we've got some hot water that's been boiling
on the stove we're gonna dump in there.
Just for fun.
- I love fun.
What's gonna happen, do you know what's gonna happen?
- I have an idea.
Okay, it seems to be resilient enough.
In fact, is this our last experiment?
- [Justine] Yeah.
- So I'll just pour the whole, oh, wow, that's a lot.
Right there you're looking at about $15 worth
of liquid nitrogen, folks.
- Worth it, do we wanna pulse?
(whirling)
Oh God, oh geez, it scared the crap out of me!
(laughing)
- That was amazing, I love how you jumped
and like your hand just got chopped off.
You gave me a minor heart attack there.
- I jumped like out of my glove.
- Do you still have a pulse?
- Yes, it's very high, ready?
- Sure, go for it.
(whirling)
Oh wow, did you hear that?
- Yeah, that was something.
- Yeah, the gears are starting to grind.
Get that hot water ready.
(whirling)
Here we go, ready?
- Here you go!
- Three, come here, come here.
- No, you do it, no, you do it!
- Three, two, one.
- Holy shit, oh my God!
(laughing)
Oh my God!
- I got nothing to say to that,
That was amazing, that was amazing.
Liquid nitrogen is completely gone,
it just went up with one huge puff of smoke.
And I tried pouring a little bit more water,
but it just stayed in there, you can see.
I think other than making a huge mess,
I think we completely destroyed this blender now.
If you look down inside,
you can see all the glass is cracked.
The blades are still intact, but I don't think
this is going to be usable again.
- I'm crying.
I'm crying, cuz I'm freaking out.
- [Grant] Yeah, how you doing over there?
- I'm like, freaking out.
(laughing)
- So, I take it you weren't expecting that.
- No, look I'm crying, there are like tears
of excitement and happiness,
cuz that was like, I don't even know what just happened.
- You know what we just did, I think we just made
a cloud making machine, like for real, right?
- Oh my God, I couldn't believe it!

This is what happens, that moment you realize
you can make clouds in your kitchen.
For real.
- Thanks for coming over, mission complete.
Thank you so much for joining me for this experiment,
because this is something I could have never done
by myself, I needed adult, responsible adult supervision.
- That's a qualifier.
We came, we made a mess, we conquered.
- Yes, well thank you so much for watching
and thank you so much for joining me.
Make sure you guys check out his channel,
I'll put a link in the description
and also to a video, that we did,
where we did a little something like this.
- Yeah we'll see you guys there!
