This Is How Russia Does The (Dry) Ice Bucket Challenge
As The West shows its fortitude (and apparent philanthropy) with mere 32-degree Fahrenheit ice-bucket-challenges, Russian chemistry professor Yury Zhdanov goes 290-degrees better...
Nikolay Novosyolov, founder of a science popularization project, poured a bucket of liquid nitrogen, which temperature was minus 322 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 197 Celcuis), as part of the #IceBucketChallenge campaign, taking the world's social media charity craze to a whole new level.

Don't try this at home. Performed on a closed course by batshit crazy fuckers
LoL. Yes. Those crazy Phuckers.

So I guess a charity benefits just as much from someone dumping crap on their head as they do from actual money...hmmm maybe I should try this with my bills?
"You got the rent?"
"Ya, Hang on a minute"
*splash*
"there ya go, see you next month."
Listen American Zero's.
When you have a strong leader you have a strong populous.
What you got America? Ferguson thugs?
i spent time with Russians and foolishly challenged them to a drinking contest. Biggest mistake I ever made, felt it for 3 days.
Even Scandinavians know better than to attempt a drinking contest with Russians, and for multiple reasons. That should tell you all you need to know on the subject.
Let's all sing together.

I tried it 15 years ago. I'm still feeling it.
They take a kidney after you passed out?
No, just a liver. Might have also killed some brain cells, but couldn't tell due to the shakes.
Yes, ruskies are so cool... so awsome drinkers... :D

Dumb Video.
Agreed. A nation of alcoholics will win ever time! :-)

Talk about thugs.
Is there anywhere on earth where the police are more arrogant and brutal than in India?
Even Pakistan's not as bad.

No actualy we have a nuke primed and ready to shove up your immigrant ass
That's it -- I fold.
Nikolay strong like bull!
People...that is so FAKE. Liquid nitrogen does NOT drip off you at the end.
No he soaked himself down first, the water was the only thing keeping him from getting severe frost bite burns
wrong he poured liquid nitrogen into air and water max minus temperature he was exposed to was 0 and not kelvin. Mostly showmanship, cool.
Listen.

Stop boring us with science and reality. We want to BELIEVE
Listen.
You're a fucking idiot.
why you downvote this? oh, i frgot, just more to be flushed out with the slush pravda.
Mainly because this twat insists on starting each inane post with "Listen". He knows he's winding us up, and we keep falling for it; but I suspect that for many here, hitting the "-" button in response to his every post has become a reflex, regardless of content.
Having worked with LN2, this video piqued my curiousity. If you download the video (720P) and review it closely you will see that his shirt was not soaked as the bucket was tipped during one segment. Also, the changing composition of the background audience indicates that he performed the trick more than once and was likely soaked by the accumulated condensation produced by the evaporating LN2. The video is a compilation of several events. In at least one sequence the bucket contents appear to include LN2, ice, and liquid water
Looks like the bucket contained mostly water with a bit of Liquid Nitrogen that was floating on the top. The Liquid nitrogent would not have wetted his shirt as shown.
Mostly Vodka

Yeah, first comment is a russophile manlove declaration. This is ZH alright...
WARNING...........................................
That is a trick and not really liquid nitrogen. Did you notice that his head was wet when finished pouring. That strongly indicates it's bullshit.
I'll bet my balls, if one where to pour a bucket of liquid nitrogen on themself then the result would be death.
Brings new meaning to the term "brain freeze."
Mom.... my left teste still is swollen from where the dog bit it.
Soak it in this, sweetie.
I'll give this crazy bastard his props.
Or put another way.
Westerners are pussies.
Haha, speak for yourself there bud.
51% of them, yeah, sure.
Plus or minus a percent or two of the really confused.
He should have lit himself on fire... The burns wouldn't have been as bad.
Good luck playing with liquid carbon dioxide, much less liquid nitrogen in public USSA.
That b trst
Never quite understood this one...is it some kind of bragging right to say "I don't want to give money to a charity so I'll pour a bucket of ice water on my head instead"?
I think it's a kind of programming. No matter how stupid, if it is being pushed by certain "idols" and spread by media, the sheeple will find it very cool and hysteria can be created.
Additionally the PR for the 1%: look we are like you, we don't sit on the high horse, we are all equal.
In mother Russia, bucket ices you.
I call bullshit !
That guy aught to be off- gassing and looking like frosty, not like he just stepped out of a shower...no fuckin' way...my two cents...
He'd be the Terminator at the end of The Terminator if he poured liquid nitrogen on himself. And liquid nitrogen would also destroy the bucket. No way. But good trick in any event. Just some dry ice in a bucket with water. Speaking of which, hand it to [even the weekend] Tylers for making the dry ice reference in the headline.
Me to. There's no way you pour "liquid nitrogen" out of that canister without blowing your cranium off.
The psi required to keep nitrogen cooled( in that aluminum beer keg) would have "superheated" FROZEN everything in a 20-50 foot radius. (10-15 meters)
Aluminum beer keg? LOL It is called a DEWER.
The cannister is made of an Aluminum ingot. (solid aluminum block)
American and European 'KEGS" are made from a differnt process. They use blanks/ Not ingots.
I'm tired of educating 20 #somethings about metallurgy/ BITCHEZ
20 years of using liquid nitrogen in the lab...yep you really educamated me.
Can I get another N2 draught? *hic*
The Leidenfrost effect is a phenomenon in which a liquid, in near contact with a mass significantly hotter than the liquid's boiling point, produces an insulating vapor layer keeping that liquid from boiling rapidly. This is most commonly seen when cooking; one sprinkles drops of water in a pan to gauge its temperature: if the pan's temperature is at or above the Leidenfrost point, the water skitters across the pan and takes longer to evaporate than in a pan below the temperature of the Leidenfrost point (but still above boiling temperature). The effect is also responsible for the ability of liquid nitrogen to skitter across floors. It has also been used in some potentially dangerous demonstrations, such as dipping a wet finger in molten lead or blowing out a mouthful of liquid nitrogen, both enacted without injury to the demonstrator. The latter is potentially lethal, particularly should one accidentally swallow the liquid nitrogen.

Thank you for the link. What was interesting about the Russian Dry Ice bucket challenge, were the number of students who were inspired to find out how the good professor did it. Russian students are encouraged to ask questions and seek scientific explanations.
I wonder if he experienced the lower limit of the thermodynamic temperature scale? Probably went beyond it, relatively speaking. Nonetheless, pretty "Bose".
Brain freeze for sure and sorry didn't see the earlier post.
I say HOAX.
LN2 would have made frost around the outside of the bucket.
He would have frozen his scalp and cranium.
Probably a bunch of chunks of dry ice in water.
The hoaxer is probably waiting to see the first dumb ass that tries to repeat the stunt.
I'd do this for charity with a bucket of liquid Zirpium, or Talfium for that matter, not nitrogen.
Why???
"Science" always seems cooler when a Russian accent is involved.
Yeah bit it's even 1000x cooler when you have a German accent.
How about science in an african or arabic accent?
Oh wait! No one has ever heard that.
Looks like America does not have a monopoly on attention whores.
The difference is the ones in America makes millions...
Moar Bullshit, like most science these days........
Liquid nitrogen makes this an 'Alcore' challenge. (Alcove freezes dead people)
I was expecting him to nominate Ukraine for the ice bucket challenge.
LOL!
Okay ZATO troops - you want to fight these Russians pouring liquid nitrogen on themselves or doing ice swims. These people are pretty tough. The only ones dumb enough to want to fight them are the Poles.
Dude, we got DP'd by the Germans and Soviets and still held out longer than France.
I like the Poles but they are stupid getting involved in the Ukraine coup/junta. The USA is criminals and stupid too to have caused it and contiuning to run it.
And the Finns occasionally.
White Death
The Finns are bad ass.
Hey Rusky .. I bet you can't pour a bucket of Piss on your head ... I don't think you can do it... No way can you do that ... NO WAY
LULZ
You know how the game works, you have to post a clip of yourself doing it before nominating someone else.
who said i was playing the game, dipshit !
The proper name for your challenge is an "orange revolution".
LOL ... that is so true LOL

Its real. Leidenfrost effect... the later side view seems to show the t-short was wet with water before pouring the N.

thats cool, and the hotter the metal the better it worked
Listen.
I like that little fucking American minx. I'd bust her American myth wide open till it was the color of her hair.

The women are pretty amazing in Russia. I fell in love with this gal and a couple of others. You simply just know that what is under that skirt is a good thing.
I think it is time for some of you young males to go there. I recommend St. Petersburg for your first trip. That is a great city and it will change you in ways that I can not describe. It is easier to go there now and many young Russians speak at least some English now. What you need to do is have a passport and get a visa. You need an invitation but most most hotels will do that for you for a fee. Once you have that, book your flight.
Technically, it is illegal to exchange US dollars or Euro's in commerce but it does happen. Whatever the case may be, make sure that you have the newest and most perfect bills or they will fuck on the exchange rates. They take credit cards in Russia too but you need to call and authorize your card to work there. Go figure.
Drink only bottled water, trust me on that advice. Always keep every piece of paper or receipt you are given because you will be asked for it later and if you do not have it then a major problem occurs. Always have your passport and visa on you because you will likely be asked for your papers.
Wear darker clothing because Russians wear fur for the women and leather for the men generally. No one wears a half sideways Oakland Raiders hat there or bright colors. Just blend in. Do not walk around with a smile on your face or people there will think you have a mental problem. A pair of sunglasses is a great idea as well.
Russia is one of the most interesting places you can go in the world. You have to experience it for yourself before you can really comment on the country. Just going there changes your mentality if you stay at least 9 days. One of the things that hit me hardest when I got was how I looked at my own country. I saw some things that I had not noticed before that I should have noticed. I realized at that point that they are not entirely different from us after all but they are different. The only way to know is to go there and see for yourself.
St. Petersburg is nothing but eye candy anyway. The women are beautiful and they dress in wonderful fur that would make PETA faint. Russians like to walk and that is probably why their women don't have fat asses. You will walk there too but is not so bad. It is an experience to be sure and one well worth the effort.
