@@susnojutsu2525 and the popularity around liquid nitrogen isnt directly making it easier to find them on ebay, especially the self contained helium cryocoolers
Yeah, I had forgotten how lame this video actually is after a while, but the title is making liquid nitrogen from scratch while the actual video is we bought a commercial cryocooler, a commercial nitrogen membrane, a commercial air compressor, a commercial dewar, and then just flipped a switch and connected some hoses. Not that a lot of those things would be reasonable to make from scratch, but come on. This is as made from scratch as me buying a cheap laser pointer and changing the variable resistor setting to get more power out of it.
I worked for a company that separated air into liquid nitrogen. They made 99.9999 percent pure nitrogen in liquid state. It was made by a distillation process. Also made liquid oxygen, argon and some other gases found in pure air. Stored it in 50,000 gallon insulated tanks at 5 lbs pressure.
Actually if they made liquid air, that's half the battle of making pure nitrogen, because all you have to do is distill the liquid air, that's how it's done commercially.
So, when liquifying a gas, it is handy to place the container on a scale during the process. As the gas liquifies, it becomes more dense. More dense, but same volume = more mass. More mass in a non-inertial frame of reference (ie, a "gravity field") has more "weight". You can then check the scale during the process without disturbing the process, to see if, and how much, liquified gas you have created.
I too was wondering why they were not using a scale. Although that could be an expensive prospect. Precision scales usually don't have a very large range, and the weight of the flask/dewar/whatever might exceed the weight limit of a scale with enough precision to notice the liquefaction. The other problem of course is the seal they had to use for the nitrogen. When doing oxygen they didn't need such a seal, and the flask could just be overlapping loosely with the nozzle. But the nitrogen required a seal, and that definitely would dampen the reading on the scale. Thinking a bit on this... they might have been able to use a simple arduino "pinger" that measures distance via ultrasonic ping, with that shooting into the flask and measuring the depth of liquid. That would only require wires leading out, and could be integrated into the seal. This might be improved by adding a "float" - a sheet of something that would float on top of liquid nitrogen, to provide a better target for the pinger or maybe a laser distance measurement tool?
Koadster woah dude... disrespectful much? Surely he could have been a bad influence by encouraging them to mix chemicals and teach them to start fires, build rockets, but he did encourage them to go learn about science and how things that typically catch their interests actually work.
I just learned why medical fields use so much helium. I never understood how helium was used in refrigeration until now and I'm absolutely blown away. Also I'm happily supprised how well this project went.
Yup. NMR. Superconducter coils. You need very stable magnets, (sub-parts per million), so you need very stable electrical current, and the best way of getting that is to short a current into a superconducting coil. You disconnect the power, and the current just keeps going round and round. Superconducter coils need low temps, hence liquid helium. Which is sitting in a jacket of liquid nitrogen. which boils off before the helium does, keeping the helium cool and not needing refilling so much.
If you want to be more specific, the reason helium is used particularly in this application is not only because it doesn't liquify, but also because helium, being a light gas, is easier to push around making it more efficient in the cryocooler- which is actually just a stirling engine in reverse.
@@drampadreg1386 We're nowhere near running out of helium. And it's the same with any other natural resource. Technically, we're also "running out" of iron, but are we anywhere close to excavating every single iron vein in existence, and have we tapped into every single way of getting iron? No.
@@nikkiofthevalley also in the case of many elements, we can extract them from asteroids and space rocks, which are essentially an unlimited supply of materials (and this isnt even that far fetched of a concept, its been done more than a couple of times so far, whether from meteorites or orbiting space rocks)
Nitrogen - from scratch Start with in excess of 28 hydrogens for each nitrogen desired. Heat and compress in stellar core for 1/2 to 10 billion years, depending on size of star. Remove from heat as soon as oxygen begins to form. Nitrogen will halve in volume as it cools from to final diatomic molecular state.
As a science video, I don't need the advertising. But as advertising, this is one of the best adverts I've seen. If some of the money spent on *$ coffee ends up as science videos, that's wonderful. In fact, if more advertisers would like to switch from shouting at me and showing me cute puppies to showing me cool science experiments, I'd actually pay attention to their product. We live in a capitalist world, because it's way better than the alternatives. That means we get advertising. So let's applaud the advertising that we actually want to watch.
RUclips: making liquid nitrogen from scratch. *Meanwhile star fusing all helium atoms into heavy elements for us a billions years ago* Am I joke to you?
@@harikishore2514 I always thought liquid nitrogen is nitrogen but in liquid. So the Star did not make liquid nitrogen only gaseous nitrogen... Tho we never know. It might have also created liquid nitrogen for a fraction of a second, even tho it's rare for elements to take on the liquid state in space due to the lack of pressure and too high/too low temperatures
@@C28-m9u there is almost certainly a planet with sustained liquid nitrogen, all it would take would to be very cold (or have an extremely high pressure atmosphere, although it would probably be supercritical before liquid at any normal temps) which given how many planets there are, it is almost certain that there is a planet that has nitrogen and fulfills one of the previous needs
You could have also added a balloon to the system and set the flow rate where the balloon was neither expanding nor contracting, thus matching the flow rate to the condensation rate.

@@tonysimons4883 BOC = bunch of crap?
Linde, air products, air liquide, or messer?
@@Crocodile2873 I worked for Big Three Industries. Air Liquide purchased Big Three several years ago. I managed their pipeline operations.
Me thinks someone at Starbucks went for a pint of Guinness when they came up with this idea...
So, when liquifying a gas, it is handy to place the container on a scale during the process. As the gas liquifies, it becomes more dense. More dense, but same volume = more mass. More mass in a non-inertial frame of reference (ie, a "gravity field") has more "weight". You can then check the scale during the process without disturbing the process, to see if, and how much, liquified gas you have created.
I too was wondering why they were not using a scale. Although that could be an expensive prospect. Precision scales usually don't have a very large range, and the weight of the flask/dewar/whatever might exceed the weight limit of a scale with enough precision to notice the liquefaction. The other problem of course is the seal they had to use for the nitrogen. When doing oxygen they didn't need such a seal, and the flask could just be overlapping loosely with the nozzle. But the nitrogen required a seal, and that definitely would dampen the reading on the scale.
Thinking a bit on this... they might have been able to use a simple arduino "pinger" that measures distance via ultrasonic ping, with that shooting into the flask and measuring the depth of liquid. That would only require wires leading out, and could be integrated into the seal. This might be improved by adding a "float" - a sheet of something that would float on top of liquid nitrogen, to provide a better target for the pinger or maybe a laser distance measurement tool?
The container is attached to the cooler. You need an exact scale that can handle a fairly high weight

R.I.P
I just learned why medical fields use so much helium. I never understood how helium was used in refrigeration until now and I'm absolutely blown away. Also I'm happily supprised how well this project went.
Yup. NMR. Superconducter coils. You need very stable magnets, (sub-parts per million), so you need very stable electrical current, and the best way of getting that is to short a current into a superconducting coil. You disconnect the power, and the current just keeps going round and round. Superconducter coils need low temps, hence liquid helium. Which is sitting in a jacket of liquid nitrogen. which boils off before the helium does, keeping the helium cool and not needing refilling so much.
If you want to be more specific, the reason helium is used particularly in this application is not only because it doesn't liquify, but also because helium, being a light gas, is easier to push around making it more efficient in the cryocooler- which is actually just a stirling engine in reverse.
And we are running out, once it's gone it's gone.
@@drampadreg1386 We're nowhere near running out of helium. And it's the same with any other natural resource. Technically, we're also "running out" of iron, but are we anywhere close to excavating every single iron vein in existence, and have we tapped into every single way of getting iron? No.
@@nikkiofthevalley also in the case of many elements, we can extract them from asteroids and space rocks, which are essentially an unlimited supply of materials (and this isnt even that far fetched of a concept, its been done more than a couple of times so far, whether from meteorites or orbiting space rocks)
Starbucks, and I hoped it would be Guinness 😂
It's coffee, may as well be guiness, they both look the same in a glass.
Except guiness is actually nicer and probably cheaper than the crap from starfucks.
Yeah, Guinness is more known for being nitrogen-pressurized with bubbles going down, but I guess they weren't throwing money at him.
Same
@Quack Quark Nope, Nitrogen for Guinness, that's why you never get the same thing if you buy it bottled.
Nitrogen - from scratch
Start with in excess of 28 hydrogens for each nitrogen desired.
Heat and compress in stellar core for 1/2 to 10 billion years, depending on size of star.
Remove from heat as soon as oxygen begins to form.
Nitrogen will halve in volume as it cools from to final diatomic molecular state.

@@harikishore2514 I always thought liquid nitrogen is nitrogen but in liquid. So the Star did not make liquid nitrogen only gaseous nitrogen... Tho we never know. It might have also created liquid nitrogen for a fraction of a second, even tho it's rare for elements to take on the liquid state in space due to the lack of pressure and too high/too low temperatures
@@C28-m9u there is almost certainly a planet with sustained liquid nitrogen, all it would take would to be very cold (or have an extremely high pressure atmosphere, although it would probably be supercritical before liquid at any normal temps) which given how many planets there are, it is almost certain that there is a planet that has nitrogen and fulfills one of the previous needs
You need to look smaller .. gases are made up from the atomic scale .. noble gases .. and these are made of what?
You could have also added a balloon to the system and set the flow rate where the balloon was neither expanding nor contracting, thus matching the flow rate to the condensation rate.
