Not a particularly great photo, but it was more for fun than anything. I really think this dry ice thing has some potential if I can figure out how to get the vapor to behave.
On another note, this bottle exploded shortly after this was taken. Turns out putting the lid on with dry ice inside will cause that. Good thing I foresaw that possibility and placed it outside. It was loud.
Dry ice is SOOOOO much fun! I know as a science teacher I should be more excited about the science behind it, so OK, fine - sublimation is COOL!
ReplyDeleteI took some photos of my students and dry ice earlier this year - they put one in the yearbook.
Don't know what you tried or what the contest is (haven't clicked the link yet), but for some really fun looks, try adding food coloring to some water and then add the dry ice - the vapor will remain white but it looks especially cool with different colors in different beakers. Also, if you can get your hands on an old fish tank, try playing around with some water in the bottom of that (or no water) and add food coloring if you want. The tank traps the vapor and concentrates it. You can float a balloon on top of the vapor too - much fun! /end ramble
Anyway - cool shot! Glad you're OK after the explosion! Be careful!
