Dropping a match into liquid oxygen

So today, I'm going to be making some liquid oxygen. Oxygen is normally a gas, but it can be turned into a liquid using liquid nitrogen. It's a bit hard to see, but liquid oxygen is faintly blue. This is very dangerous, but what's fun to do, is to throw a match into it. As a liquid, oxygen is an even more powerful oxidizer and it can sometimes react explosively.

WARNING: Liquid oxygen is extremely dangerous. It's an extremely strong oxidizer and can react explosively.

Love it when "Really dangerous" and "fun to do" appear side by side on this channel.

Nile's short are much more interesting than tiktok copy shorts.

"Now this is really dangerous but fun to do..."
Yep, that is chemistry in a nutshell, everybody

Liquid oxygen was one of the two things which were mixed in the F-1 engines of the Saturn V rocket which was the first stage in the stack which took people to the moon. The other was kerosene. Mix those two together and toss a match in. Then either watch your Pyrex tube explode, or hold on tight as you ride that beaker into the stratosphere.

"ayo wanna drink some oxygen?"
"you mean breathe?"
"did i stutter?”

For a moment, it looked like the sudden heat was going to make the glass fail.

We keep 3 liquid oxygen tanks at work to fill portable oxygen units. When one of those units didn't seal properly during the fill, I learned how shockingly good oxygen is at staying liquid at room temperature. A small amount collected around the slot the unit fits into to fill, and it lasted for a good 30 seconds just bubbling away before it finally fully evaporated and left a nice deposit of frost

Well, imagine oxygen as a *s o l i d*

i need a version of this without the voiceover, just because the sound of the match hitting the oxygen is the most fun sound I've heard in a while

[zeina.elzemity]

i love how he does all this while im here getting freaked out when a drop of water lands on the stove when im cooking

Liquid oxygen exists:
My Brain: "drink it"
Me: "no it's like -200 degrees"
My Brain: "DRINK ITT"

[quinnmartin]

I never thought I would see such an efficient combustion of a match

[BeholdMyStrength]

"It can be explosive"

Can we all give it up for the little three fingered robot hand thingy? So courageous, so brave.

"now this is dangerous but fun to do"

That has got to be the cleanest burning anything anywhere ever.

[RoadRash]

Subscribed- dude I was sold on the starightforward title and the short and simple video... none of those 20 minute lectures before seeing it burn.

[shayminthedoctor]

Ironically oxygen cannot burn. It instead makes it so that *everything around it suddenly burns a lot better*

"And it can sometimes react explosively"
