dead fish and liquid nitrogen testing how live tissue which are more brittle break apart once frozen.

i. latex balloon ii. balloon full of exhaled air (78% nitrogen, 16% oxygen, 5% cardbon dioxide) iii. blown up balloon in vaccum of liquid nitrogen at -196C iv. air inside balloon freezes, latex shrinks v. pinching balloon with plyers, shaking against vaccum flask does not cause latex to shatter vi. balloon taken out of liquid nitrogen, liquid air turns to gas again once in contact with normal atmospheric temperature vii. latex expands
elastic materials and liquid nitrogen testing what materials shatter once frozen with liquid nitrogen; latex retains its shape because its not brittle enough .

this model demonstrates the system that will be used to divert excess heat and condensed liquid nitrogen through vents in the chapel floor. the clouds of smoke will allow privacy for the
