Pledge: Liquid Nitrogen

Liquid Nitrogen and a bald chef with glasses looking evil

We are looking at purchasing some Liquid Nitrogen, preferably in time for the 12/05/2013 party

Pledge leader: Oni

The item

• www.mansfieldcryogenics.com
• Basically, we want something along the lines of one Dewar as a one off delivery. We also need a set of gloves to handle the stuff.

Budget estimation

• £130.00 plus VAT per delivery up to 50 litres for the Nitrogen - £156
• £??? for handling gloves. They need to be closed cuff, leather or thick material and preferably elbow length.
• £??? for a lock. Probably not a lot I'd say.

Actions / Information

• http://stores.biochem.uiowa.edu/Pages/ln2msds.htm - current safety handling
• Secure a supplier for the correct gloves: http://www.boconline.co.uk/en/products-and-supply/cryogenic-equipment/cryogenic-protection/hand-protection/hand-protection.html
• Appraise cage, and fit if possible
• Get a better calculation for floor one internal volume. At present, it is estimated that 50L of LN2 will covert to 30.5 cubic metres; around 5% of the volume of floor one.
• Safety training induction for all who wish to use it.

Specification

• Make tasty meats
• Make ice-cream
• Useful for biohackers (so I'm told)!
• Reverse Gridle
• Shrink fitting parts

Additional information

• We need to check over the cage Phil/Cepmender has made and find a position on floor one, near the rear windows to mount the cage and get a lock
