Ah, yes, that’s one of our standard things to do at Astronomy Camp. And it used to be pretty standard at department parties.

Right up there with the idea of molasses I’d say and of course, could not help think of the nobium sphere as a “artistic backdrop” to all things superconducting influenced?

I saw an article on this and always wanted to try it — the only hitch was where to get the Liquid N2? I saw a big dewar of it between RTH and SSC, but I doubt security would take kindly to a couple of college students hopping the fence and filling up a Rubbermaid insulated tote with cryogenic liquids. Probably think we’d be using it for some sort of fraternity prank…

Bill Nye, yes that science guy, did this a while ago on some TV program, and sparked a whole new line of technologically inspired Burning Man feasting. Now, many attendees come out to the playa with their tanks of liquid nitrogen and make smoothies, ice cream, blender drinks, and other tasteful amenities, reducing the need to bring along even more massive containers of ice and dry ice.

I always wanted to make ice cream with liquid N2, but I didn’t trust my labmmates’, shall I say, cleanliness. We finally broke down and got a Musso Lussino. That’s what happens when a scientist goes to law school - we see torts waiting to happen everywhere!
