Liquid Nitrogen Bomb

 If you have worked with liquid nitrogen you know that it is cold and that if it touches you it will roll off your hand like water or turn into gas. But there are ways you can make it really dangerous. liquid nitrogen is more dence than nitrogen as a gas which is not surprising. Nitrogine as it self without oxygen is really bad for you it can sufficate you and you wont even know it is doing it. A little fact is that nitrogen suffication has been cleared as a humanian way to execute people. If you make a liquid nitrogen bomb as it is called always do it outside and for a purpose not to harm anyone. If you put liquid nitrogen in a contaner and seel the top and if the container is the right density it will explode possibly harming people but if the container is not dense enough it will blow a hole right through and will steadily leak air. Liquid nitrogen takes up 600 times less space than the gass version of nitrogen so thats why it expands when the pressue is let off and explodes the container its in. Someone who works in lab did a test nitrogen bomb and their water bottle went thirty feet in the air one of the observers was ex-military and said the blast was about the same as a 3/4 stick of dynamite. Most people that make these do it in a pool or in a spot away from people to keep people safe I HIGHLY advise doing it away from people.
