Sweet! Great link Bel!

[Atmotteenrift]

Thank you. Only another techie...

It does sound like a fun gag at a dinner party, prepare instant ice cream at the table. Most of my frinds are technical types, engineers and computer geeks, they\'d love it.

[55Beaphable]

Oh yeah, my friends would definitely get a kick out of it too. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] Who doesn\'t secretly wanna play with liquid nitrogen?! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

[Atmotteenrift]

You haven\'t? It\'s lots of fun. A friend of mine uses LN on a rig for forming plastic. The machine heats it up and blows it over the plastic to get it hot enough to manipulate. It\'s ideal because it is so non-reactive. Once in a while he\'ll bring over a thermos of it to play with. Ever play with a hilsh vortex tube? They can be fun too. It is used to seperate high energy air molecules from low energy ones.

But, but, but...

[55Beaphable]

Oh, we used to play with it in chemistry class in college. That stuff rocks. We were all going around looking for things to freeze. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Can\'t say that I\'ve ever heard of a hilsh vortex tube though. Sadly, my engineering toys don\'t generally include plastics or chemicals.

It\'s a pretty simple gizmo. In the center of the tube there os a hollow spiral structure (would have to draw it to make better sense). High pressure air is injected into the spiral, the high energy molecules follow the turns forcing the low energy ones out the other end. With 30-40 pounds pressure, you can get temps down in the -20 range.

Oh, look who it is again....dork and dorkier. Maybe we should start a science for geeks thread on the forum. j/k

Well, I\'ve got to do something and they won\'t let me have explosives anymore. It really was just an accident but nobody seems to believe me. Takes all the fun out of it. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

[gennickO]

I actually think you look sexier with 6 1/2 fingers

[Atmotteenrift]

Most the hair has grown back too

[gennickO]

I don\'t mind the penciled in eyebrows either. I hope they grow back someday. You really shouldn\'t use the black marker when you do it.

[Atmotteenrift]

Oh, you noticed. With the horn rimmed glasses I didn\'t think it was that obvious.

You should get a pair like DVK has. I think the tape in the middle makes her look really hot!

DOH! Low blow, miss Lingerie Queen. Try to keep the gloves up! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Oh, come on, you know you think nerds are sexy... all that creativity just *waiting* for an outlet.

[Atmotteenrift]

Really? I\'ll have to check that out. Pics?

[gennickO]

DVK....you know I like you a lot, but can you please pretend you don\'t know me when we are in public. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Why thank you! It\'s my signature look. You know, the hook that reels them all in. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] After all, I *am* quite the hottie.

[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] And here I thought we had something special. <sniff, sniff> I think I\'m going to need some consoling now...
