We received the Club3D Radeon 9700 Pro graphics card to our test laboratory and of course once again we ordered 10 liters of liquid nitrogen (LN2 -196°C).
Of course.

You know it's generally considered safer to handle LN2 with bare hands than with gloves...

Because if you get LN2 trapped in the glove, it stays next to the skin longer. If your skin is bare, the LN2 tends to be forced away as the mere contact with skin causes a vapor barrier. With bare skin, you may be (probably will be) frostbitten, but it isn't as bad as keeping your extremity in contact with the rapidly boiling LN2.

For some reason though they won't let you fill LN2 tanks while wearing sandals.

Ya you can pour liquid nitrogen into your cupped hand and just let it boil away (so I've heard)

I've had some splash on me before while I was helping to fill up the tank on the electron microscope in the concrete lab at Skule... it evaporated immediately, and I hardly felt a thing.

When they freeze off warts at the doctor's office, they are normally doing it with liquid nitrogen.

LN2

I use the stuff on a weeky basis and I can tell you this... It stings... when it eveporates it leaves a small white patch of (frozen skin? condensed water...) or something... I have gotten some splashed on my shoe once... I just scrunched up my toes to the other side of the shoe and was fine But yea that is how we know the dewar is full when it all comes splashing out the top... It is alot like fire... you can put your finger through the flame for only so long....
