no don't play that's a terrible idea no it's a great idea he got ten million views just by throwing a block of dry ice into the water I don't trust me this is going to be a viral video Kevin the answer is no you are not setting the pool on fire so the plan is to set my pool on fire with diethyl ether and hopefully put it out with two and a half gallons of liquid nitrogen diethyl ether is crazy flammable and notorious for blowing up chemistry labs we all know that fire needs oxygen to burn and these 10 liters of liquid nitrogen will turn into 10,000 litres of nitrogen gas so hopefully that'll be enough to smother the fire and put it out hopefully two and a half gallons of liquid nitrogen come on yes in here whoa you see that that's so cool now I've got to admit I've had my doubts against this experiment but it turns out worked better than I expected the flames put up a pretty good fight but in the end the looking nitrogen won and it made a pretty cool tornado and you can see on the thermal camera that the liquid nitrogen put out the flames and pulled the whole place down whoa this sound the yard this is so cool look it's like a different planet where you think about that awesome that was awesome that was cool the reason this works so well is because liquid nitrogen floats on top of water and it hangs around for a while and it creates a blanketing layer of nitrogen gas which keeps the oxygen away from the fire and it looks really cool floating on top of the water and skidding across like that it was so cool that this dragonfly had to come check it out alright so I also got about 15 pounds of dry ice so try throwing that in the pool I put my camera underwater at the perfect time because there was a little tornado on the water that picked up my GoPro camera and tossed it around I think a bunch of small pieces of dries clumps together and somehow I made an underwater tornado it's pretty cool just tossed her on my GoPro and no dam that was really done it just sat there at the bottom of the pool according to dry ice bubbling away all right now we're gonna see if the dry ice can put out the diethyl ether it worked out perfectly the bubbles of dry ice formed a blanketing layer of carbon dioxide on top of the pool which put out the fire pretty much immediately now I should have stopped there but I did this again and kind of ended up catching my hand on fire a little bit good thing I was next to a pool because that would have hurt if I left it on fire anyway everything turned out all right in the end all right check back next week for another episode of the backyard scientists were safety I mean having fun is the number one priority no it's not he got ten million views just by chucking a drug of what are you talking about it's a great idea he got ten million views just by Chunkin by throwing him again sorry alright say I don't care how many views he got and it made like a tornado of smoke yeah it was pretty cool yeah like five minutes you didn't see the fire like almost at the top oh man I'm gonna post it tomorrow

Nitrogen safety video if anyone is interested - https://youtu.be/f2ItJe2Incs

I want to criticize his complete lack of safety precautions... but something about this guy makes me REALLY want to see the video where things DO go wrong.

Keep up the good work, Backyard "Scientist!"

I should buy a pool.

So what kind of chemical reaction is he creating with the diethyl ether, chlorine from the pool, the liquid nitrogen, the dry ice, whatever else is in the tap water, and whatever leaches out of the concrete from the walls of the pool, plus the fire?

This guy is such an idiot. Beyond even normal levels. It's one thing to do dangerous experiments - it's another to not use any proper safety equipment. Ugh.

Does he think life is a cartoon or something?
