Shivering Quarters In Dry Ice

wouldnt you be shivering if u were pushed into something freeing cold?

Come on! It's freezing! MEANIE!!

The heat from the quarter sublimates the dry ice quickly and the weight of the quarter pushes back against the escaping gas. It is basically bouncing on gas puffs. I like pushing the coin flat against the dry ice, it makes a much prettier ring! Spoons work too.

simple its feeling cold ;)..............

George Washington.... Probably brings back memory's of the Delaware.

I called 911 You president abuser... I wish they put bush on a coin so i could do dat =).

easy way to make a trick

its not nice to be shoving a former president into a -75 degree block of ice.

Them quarters need some scarfs hats gloves and a coat! With the dosh you've made making this vid i think you can afford them:)
Great vid 5*rs

can also be observed with small chunks of dry ice are set on a flat surface. The evaporating CO2 creates a small air current which causes the dry ice to vibrate. Interesting stuff

when the warm quarter hits the dry, it evaporates it, this causes a mini explosion of CO2 which then propels the quarter away, it repeats itself cause its in a closed space.

Its because the zinc in the Quarters don't not act well in very cold temps in a very short time.

i went shivering when he stuck the quater into the dry ice, just the screeching of that noise gives me the heebe jeebes

..stop shaking the table.

The poor coins are shivering because its too cold just like you would in the cold.

since the quarters are room temperature, and the dry ice is well below zero degrees, the ice boils. the definition of boil is turning liquid (or in this case solid) to gas. when you add the quarter, the dry ice boils causing the quarter to shrill.

Try using a tripod.....
Nice trick 4 stars!

If you look at the side of a quarter you will notice two different colors. Quarters are made of two different metal alloys laminated together. The alloys contract at different rates when subjected to the intense cold of the dry ice causing them to quiver. When the quarter reaches a consistent temperature over the entire surface, the contracting is complete and it stops shaking.

the co2 that is released from the dry ice by the quarter is moving it because it is at room temperature

The frozen co2 is a gas at normal atmospheric temperature and pressure.So if frozen,upon thawing the room temp is super hot to the dry ice.This creates a super quick micro steam evaporation and the quarters' weight slightly counter acts against the heavy evaporating gas,thus causing it to tremble back and forth.

some might thinks its fake but its not i did this in class. also did you know if you put a basketball in Nitrogen it would feeze in seconds but when it defrosts it explods because the air inside expands

can i buy dry ice??
