There are a lot of people commenting that the temperature of the liquid nitrogen didn't actually decrease, but that it only froze due to the pressure decrease. This is not true at all. In general you cannot make a liquid turn into a solid by decreasing pressure. For nitrogen especially, you would actually have to INCREASE pressure to turn the liquid into a solid at the same temperature. So the reason you get solid nitrogen in a vacuum is due to the rapid evaporation of nitrogen that lowers the temperature. The same thing happens with water. It freezes due to the rapid evaporation. Here is a link to the phase diagram of nitrogen so you can see what I mean: itschemicallydelicious.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/nitrogen-phase-diagram.gif
I'm not fond of physics but I think I understood why it vanished like that. Seeing the phase diagram of nitrogen, it shows that at 0 pressure or close to it, there is no liquid state, so when you opened the vacuum, you instantly raised the temperature inside the chamber (since outside it's 290K~ vs 63K of inside) and the solid started to sublimate directly from solid to gas. But as soon as it started doing it, pressure was rising too, so it soon reached a point where there were three states, so it started melting and then evaporating instead of directly sublimating. That's very cool.
I think it did go into a liquid state first. the 'snowball' mass shrunk as it melted, spreading itself all across the bottom of the chamber. Then because it was spread out so much all the molecules were able to heat up at as approximately the same rate so you had a near instantaneous evaporation of the nitrogen spill. following that was the vapors that seemed to fog up the entire chamber briefly.
That's awesome! All of the videos I see of nitrogen in a vacuum is the nitrogen right on the edge of freezing, and it rapidly goes between frozen and liquid. You have as close as you can get to a perfect vacuum.
Wow so cool (pardon the pun) to have it look like it is boiling and then freeze then have it disappear! wow and wow and don't go to Pluto! Thanks so interesting! love it
I've actually seen this done before (By Flinn Science labs). The thing is, if you have a powerful enough vacuum, you can adjust nitrogen's freezing point to be much higher, and the only reason it doesn't stay solid is because it's difficult to get the temperature required to keep it there, so it passes back and forth as the air pressure fluctuates on the surface. When it freezes, the liquid beneath heats it up again, causing the instability cycle. Quite interesting stuff, really.
Thanos: You... Should have gone for the head *Snaps fingers* Thor: NOOOO! *flashback* Thor: What did you do? WHAT DID YOU DO? *Thanos leaves using portal* 3:59
That is NOT the coldest thing I've ever seen. Not if you count in videos at least. I've seen cold lasers before. I LOVED this video though! Thanks so much for the awesome science nerd stuff!
An idea for the vacuum: How about a small fan turned on with a sheet of paper or napkin in front of it. I know the paper should stop moving in a vacuum, but I think it would be cool to see nonetheless.
WOW!! Now that's what I call COOL! FANTASTIC video Sir, Thank you very much. 👍😉 I really want to build my own pressure chamber now, but can't find any 25mm thick plexiglass on ebay!
How did the sound travel from inside the chamber? I mean, when you toppled that bowl off, how could we hear it, since sound doesn't travel through vacuum. Anyway, I just got to know about your channel and I'm loving it!

Hydraulic Press Action Can a small vacuum in a big vacuum survive? Will It cause a hole of emptiness?
Hydraulic Press Action I tried to read but it didn't happen. It was too much 😂👌
I think he could have gotten it colder if he had a smaller vacuum chamber inside that one and tried the same thing.
Very true, it is on the "phase diagram" of nitrogene. www.chemix-chemistry-software.com/school/phase-diagram/nitrogen-phase-diagram.html
Endorphin Rush You can't create a hole of emptiness it just doesn't make sense.
This was really cool. I didn't get mine to work.
Grant Thompson - "The King of Random"
Hi grant! Love your videos.
+Grant Thompson - "The King of Random" hi! Mine didn't work at first either until I put it in a small container. This was actually "take two" :)
Get water in a cup and put it in the freezer then there you go
"coldest thing you've ever seen" I have actually seen liquid helium sooooooo
Oh dang, its The King of Random!
it disappeared quicker than my hopes and dreams
Vihn HD quicker than my will to live
Vihn HD
You have hopes and dreams? Lucky!
@@jamesbizs *had*
Good Lord you guys are depressing! Haha
it would be far more impressive if you made solid helium, it has a far lower freezing point than plain old nitrogen
Gabe Hopkins is that possible? If so I really wanna see it
It’s basically impossible to do it in his vacuum chamber
@@humanppplus4306or any vacuum chamber. Helium doesn't have a triple point, so it can't be frozen solid using this method
This is literally the COOLEST thing I've ever seen.

Nitrogen is by far one of my favorite elements.
A really "cool" Video :)
I can only see the comment
WHO ARE YOU!?!
Exaflare Bahamut John Cena
yeah ive never cena video demonstrating what happens when liquid nitrogen is put inside a vacuum chamber before
A Rare Pink Pepe Ha
Wait, why is your name blank and your DP is all black? Hmm, weird.
Wow, that's the "COOLEST" thing I've ever seen!
Pretty sure the coldest thing I have ever seen is my Ex.
Lmao.
Right there with you... the only thing colder is my Ex-Mother-in-law
Jon S nice one. my ex can say the same thing about me.
And 6 years later, here's your 69th like.
@@Pyroteknikidshould i give it a 70th?
He missed the opportunity to say "that's the coolest thing you've ever seen"
Go go gadget science.
I would love to see this done again under a thermal camera.
I've seen many people attempt to do this, but all of them were either unsuccessful or didn't get nearly as far as you did. Nice job dude.
I love how your vids teach me things I never knew before lol
Glad you like them and learn something!
This is the coolest,no pun intended, thing I've ever seen...
One of the coolest things I have seen on the internet.
Very nice! This is the best video of solid nitrogen I have seen so far
I love his admiration for this kind of stuff.
hands down, this video is absolutely awesome. ive never seen something like this before - thanks yo, dude
Man this was incredibly awesome! And super badass as usual! Keep doing what you do Hydraulic Press Action, you're the scienciest!
your channel is the best hydraulic press channel. Thank you for such great content!
Great! Keep up the good work 👌
This is awesome,subbed ! :D
I love your vacuum chamber videos!
That's awesome! All of the videos I see of nitrogen in a vacuum is the nitrogen right on the edge of freezing, and it rapidly goes between frozen and liquid. You have as close as you can get to a perfect vacuum.
Dude that's awesome. I'm really enjoying the vacuum videos
Holy crap, dude! That was really awesome!
Wow so cool (pardon the pun) to have it look like it is boiling and then freeze then have it disappear! wow and wow and don't go to Pluto! Thanks so interesting! love it
That was soooo cool! Thanks for making this!
Super cool, this was awesome... keep up the good work ,brother
…that was friggin' cool…
…or rather FREEZIN' COLD?! 😉
Just imagine what would happen if you "dropped" Pluto right into our atmosphere(cal pressure)…😮

That is super cool! (both ways)
2:20 yeaah it is COOL in every way :3
shoot a bar of solid gold with the ping pong cannon.
This channel should be renamed to "Vacuum Chamber Action." I'm not complaining though, these videos are very enjoyable.
you guys make it to the Next Level, i want to see unOpen and Open Coconut in a vacuum
Thanks grant for another amazing video. 😀😀👍🏼👍🏼
"What happens when you put a vacuum chamber in liquid nitrogen?" please!
It will be a cold vacuum chamber..
I REALLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYY LOVE THESE VIDS! :D
Dude this was just awesome
That was freaking awesome !
The coldest think u ever seen! (Dank bass boosted music)
crazy video man!
That's absolutely amazing
He's so cute when he gets excited
the change from solid to liquid was impressive
Great job.
Finding a piece of Pluto on Earth, so cool.
That was awesome man
Very cool great vid👍🏾
This is another level of liquid nitrogen video.
Wow it disappeared so fast , once the vacuum that's the end of solid N2
i love this channel
"coldest thing you've ever seen" looks allot like my ex's heart
Really impressive!
That was awesome. You need to make some slow motion vids of the disappearing.
Maybe you and Cody's Lab could shoot nitrogen ice from his cryo-canon? Ultimate assassin's bullet.
The ‘coolest’ thing I’ve ever seen haha
Thanos: You... Should have gone for the head
*Snaps fingers*
Thor: NOOOO!
*flashback*
Thor: What did you do? WHAT DID YOU DO?
*Thanos leaves using portal*
3:59
That was intense!
👌👌👌nice video bro.....
That was GREAT!
good idea
That was awesome!
This video was so cool do more vacuum chamber videos.
That is NOT the coldest thing I've ever seen. Not if you count in videos at least. I've seen cold lasers before. I LOVED this video though! Thanks so much for the awesome science nerd stuff!
That was super awesome.All the wannabe scientists like me thank you for this!
Definitely need to show this to my AP Chem teacher
At 4:22.... Wait.... What?! You said thanks for watching another hydraulic press action.... But its a vacuum chamber one........ Lol
An idea for the vacuum: How about a small fan turned on with a sheet of paper or napkin in front of it. I know the paper should stop moving in a vacuum, but I think it would be cool to see nonetheless.
Very cool video.
bose-einstein condensate is the coldest thing I've ever seen so you were wrong sir lol
That's really cool, but how effective would it be at cooling my drink?
Wow, aswesome!
is there a way to measure the temperature?
That was rad!!
JUST AMAZING!
WOW!!
Now that's what I call COOL!
FANTASTIC video Sir, Thank you very much. 👍😉
I really want to build my own pressure chamber now, but can't find any 25mm thick plexiglass on ebay!
Total impressive
2:18 " Wow, that's so *cool* "
"wow this is so cool" lol
Your videos are awesome! Y BTW You are so welcome
That was a pretty cool experiment! Yhwh bless!
Wow nice idea
How did the sound travel from inside the chamber? I mean, when you toppled that bowl off, how could we hear it, since sound doesn't travel through vacuum.
Anyway, I just got to know about your channel and I'm loving it!
4:20 what channel was I watching again?
There goes my hopes for ever living on Pluto.
when your liquid nitrogen isn't sufficiently cold
is there a way to put gloves on the vacuum chamber (like from the outside to the inside to be able to grab stuff inside???
next video make solid oxygen?!!
Do experiments with solid nitrogen.
HPA says that solid nitrogen is the coldest thing I've ever seen. Little does he know that I worked in a BEC lab in college.
Still neat, though!
If you didn't release air and just kept it in the vacuum would the solid nitrogen stay that way forever?
No, it would slowly sublimate away.
"That's so cool" - yeah, metaphorically and literally
This is pretty awesome but you were really at risk of the chamber imploding on you when you knocked that solid nitrogen out of its container...
Rad experience! But could a liquid nitrogen lightbulb be made? One that doesn't create vapor but has frozen nitrogen illuminated???
that was spectacular
now put in a superconductor and magnet
Is your hand okay after all that vacuuming thing? ( flash back to your earlier video.)
love ur vids
pls reply if u love us 2
It is true!
