He Put a Laser In Liquid Nitrogen And THIS Happened

What happens?

This home experimenter does something awesome and put it on video. Have you ever wondered what might happen if you put a laser in a container of liquid nitrogen?  Maybe you have or actually not but lucky for us this ambitious experimenter filmed it! The ever adventurous styropyro does it again with yet another laser experiment.

Note: Do not try this without the supervision of a professional.  

Are you ready to see what happens in the video?

Here is a bit more on the safety precautions in this experiment:

Regarding laser safety…This laser was run at just above its threshold current, putting it at 5mW of output power according to my own measurements on an OPHIR laser power meter. At 5mW, this laser is classified as FDA “eye safe” meaning that the blink reflex will prevent any damage from this laser, even from a direct hit. I ALWAYS wear laser goggles when working with lasers over 5mW!!

StyroPyro also replies to one of the safety skeptics on the thread:

We hope you enjoy this science awesomeness!
