Hydraulic Press Vs. Ball Bearing Frozen In Liquid Nitrogen + Red Hot Ball Bearing

Exploding liquid nitrogen cooled Ball Bearing and red hot ball bearing with a 150 ton Hydraulic Press. Used force is measured with 240 ton force sensor and explosion is filmed with Chronos 2.1 high speed camera 1500 frames per second in this viral experiment video!

Do not try this at home!! or at any where else!!

I've heard of people cooling their balls with ice packs to improve performance, but using liquid nitrogen seems a bit hardcore to me.

Cryogenically treating steel can make it surprisingly strong. It's used to heat treat drill bits sometimes

I'm sure that you and the Slow Mo Guys would have a great time together no matter what crazy experiments you decided to do! (But I'm sure they'd prefer to visit Finland in summer :D )

It would be cool to see a slo mo guys team up vid

[redcookie]

I never thought I'd see the day where anything actually STOPPED the hydraulic press at maximum. Wow!

That 320000fps shot at the end is absolutely amazing. You see visualizations of high speed explosions and they obviously don't do it justice. The way the pulverized material hangs in the air at specific angles and in specific color ranges is really cool.

So great to see Anni being involved in vids again. Even just having her reactions on audio really brightens the mood of your vids.

these videos are getting more and more crazy, keep it up !

Making the balls colder increases their brittleness, but what that really means is its hardness goes way up, but their ability to absorb shock goes way down. so it would be easier to throw a frozen ball bearing at the ground to break it than to just apply force to break it.

Thank you for showing up Anni, you make every video better, it's more like a family environment..

This has likely been said already, but I’m almost certain the ball bearing from the previous video didn’t get red hot at all. What you saw was a frame where the sparks blurred as they shot across the flat surfaces of the press tools and the rounded surface of the bearing reflected the blurred sparks making it appear as if the bearing was hot.

High quality content. Loved the slo-mo. Glad to see Anni there. Cheers.

What a wonderful example of how pressure creates heat, as you can clearly see the transition as you work the press.

[Chaosrain]

Freeze frame at 0:38 is a great thumbnail! Also nice to see Anni again :D

Hi Anni!

Was cool to see the heat transferring from the pressure points down to the middle of the ball

[existenceisrelative]

Wow! Your filming setup is so much better these days!

[modraccin]

Hydraulic Press Channel has the strongest balls of steel!

[danielhast]

I love your videos, but when Anni is there providing reactions, it just kicks them up a notch. 😂

As an engineer student, it is cool to see the theory in practice

2:20 Sounds like an accent an American actor tries to make to sound foreign. 😂
