The Kid Should See This

Liquid Nitrogen and 1500 Ping Pong Balls

Watch more with these video collections:

Dr. Roy Lowry of Plymouth University in the UK made science explosively exciting for his class by demonstrating how powerful (and loud) it can be when the pressure of cold, trapped Liquid Nitrogen, a liquified gas, is warmed in a bucket of water. Then he addedΒ 1500 Ping Pong Balls.

If that didn’t make sense, watch. He’ll explain it all. And then when you see him pour the balls in and run away (it’s dangerous!), cover your ears or turn down the volume, and let the science commence!
