I always liked cryogenics as a kid :-)

Of course anything is possible - it's just a matter of cost! :-)



It's very, very difficult to do on any kind of DIY budget :-)

However, the good news is it's very easy to buy, and quite cheap too.
You'll need a reasonable sized dewar, maybe 20-25l, and an account with
BOC. I pay ~£40 per fillup.


And what do you use it for Grunff? Surely not just for party tricks?

Ice cream, of course!

I'm half-seriously thinking about doing it as a finale for one of our
