A small correction, you are trying to realign the electrons not the protons

Things lose conductivity with heat. When I blacksmith I use a magnet to find out when the steal is ready, if it still conducts then it's not ready!

Your my favorite science teather of all people who lived. Pls like his videos. :)

[gedichtenall]

does that magnet keep spinning if you don't touch it until it warms up?

[redjr]

That's nitrogen gas. It makes up something like 70% of our atmosphere (oxygen is something like 20%). We breath it all the time so no, it's not toxic.

[Anthea]

is it safe to inhale the mist it gives out?

[ThePixelPlantStudio]

Interesting! as always this is awesome

[Quilli]

No, it's mist. It's condensed water vapour.

[Quilli]

Those "fumes" are not nitrogen. It's mist. Condensed water vapour.

[bradsta]

... The 'smoke' that comes from liquid nitrogen is... nitrogen gas

white flame thrower that don't burn you

[keegsweeney]

It's called a flask not a beaker.

[bruceliu]
