Mad Research

Brad Simpson If you are into loud explosions and you have some liquid nitrogen lying around do this. Go out and buy a 20 oz. coke bottle. Drink it all down. Fill the bottle up a half inch with liquid nitrogen. Cap the bottle tightly and run. The bottle will actually expand to about a 2 liter and then blow up spreading plastic shrapnel everywhere. It's pretty neat. It is also extremely loud. It's a good lesson in thermodyanmics.

Jasper Grgich, University of 6th Grade I once tried to have a coke slushee by putting a 20 oz. in the freezer. I wondered why no one had thought of it, but left it in there for a day. I didn't have a very good slushee... '' I didn't mean to blow it up! ''
Tony Wilkes: I really like the page. We had a similar insane crew at Penn State. We had a three story glass distillations colum, in our pilot plant. We wanted to convert the top level of the plant into a bar for the stressed out Ch E's. you could walk up the stairs, grab a beaker, and go pour yourself some distillate to relax with.
