    Hand vs. Liquid Nitrogen and the Leidenfrost Effect


    Men stick his hand (momentarily) directly into liquid nitrogen but don't suffer any injuries due to the Leidenfrost effect.

    that's weird. in high school in chemistry they did a bunch of demonstrations with liquid nitrogen and at one point they spooned some of it onto the floor and all the little drops went sliding around. one of them hit my hand it stung a little bit, then later on i noticed a little spot on my hand was all pale and crusty lol.

    Awesome vid. We did the same thing in my electromagnetism class last year.
