AnswersDriveOne of the biggest downfalls to nitrogen is its cost and availability. While standard air is often free or $1 at many gas and service stations, nitrogen costs $5 or more per tire to fill up.
Thereof, how much does a tank of nitrogen cost?
For expensive gases, it is more common to purchase a small, disposable, non-refillable cylinder. A 50-standard-liter "lecture bottle" costs about $150 for the cylinder itself and its transportation. You can have such a cylinder filled with nitrogen. The product in the cylinder in this case would cost almost nothing.
How cold is liquid nitrogen?
(-346°F and -320.44°F). Below 63 K, nitrogen freezes and becomes a solid. Above 77.2 K, nitrogen boils and becomes a gas. Since it is obtained from the atmosphere, liquid nitrogen is inexpensive and is rarely refrigerated.

How much does it cost to get nitrogen in my tires?
The average cost to fill a tire can vary widely, anywhere from $3-10 per tire, depending on several variables such as tire size, tire pressure, and if the dealer chooses to bundle any other services with the nitrogen fill. This cost usually includes top-offs for as long as you own the tires.
2
Why are tires filled with nitrogen?
First is that nitrogen is less likely to migrate through tire rubber than is oxygen, which means that your tire pressures will remain more stable over the long term. Racers figured out pretty quickly that tires filled with nitrogen rather than air also exhibit less pressure change with temperature swings.
3
How long does nitrogen last in car tires?
On average, tires filled with air lose about 1.5 psi every month, whereas tires filled with nitrogen will lose that amount in about 3-4 months.
4
Can you mix air with nitrogen in your tires?
The benefit isn't as great as nitrogen-filled tires, but there is still benefit with a mix. The reason is that a mix still has less water vapor and oxygen than tires that are entirely filled with air, so the some of the downside of that type of tire is removed. You can mix air and nitrogen in tires.
5
Can I put air in a tire filled with nitrogen?
If you have a "flat" tire or a situation where most or all of the nitrogen in your tire has been lost, you can also fill it with regular air if necessary, but we encourage you to visit your NitroFill dealer as soon as possible to have the tire(s) purged and refilled with NitroFill so you can continue to enjoy the
6
Do nitrogen filled tires run cooler?
Myth: Pure nitrogen-filled tires will run cooler. Simply having a different type of gas in your tires will not make them run cooler. Myth: Nitrogen-filled tires last longer. The type of air inside a properly inflated tire does not affect the tire's tread life.

How much does it cost for NOS?
If your system is jetted for 100 horsepower it will use 0.8 lbs of nitrous for every 10 seconds of usage. Q. How much does it cost to get nitrous refills? A. The cost of nitrous oxide varies with the region of the country, however a general estimate would be between $3.50-5.00 per pound.

Can you drink liquid nitrogen?
So, although the nitrogen is non-toxic, this is cold enough to cause instantaneous frostbite. While pin-point-sized droplets of liquid nitrogen on your skin won't pose much of a hazard, the extensive contact you would get from drinking the liquid would cause severe damage to your mouth, esophagus, and stomach.

How much does it cost to fuel a rocket?
384,071 gallons of liquid hydrogen in the external tank of the shuttle, for a cost of $376,389.58. ~141,750 gallons of liquid oxygen for a cost of $94,972.50. The total cost of all propellant for "rocket fuel" is $1,380,000. These numbers exclude the hydrogen and oxygen used for cooling, etc.
10
How much does it cost to buy liquid nitrogen?
The prices vary but this is about it: When delivered in Dewar flasks, liquid nitrogen costs about $2 per gallon but when delivered in bulk storage tanks, it costs about $0.50 per gallon.
11
Is nitrogen a flammable liquid?
The liquid to gas expansion ratio of nitrogen is 1:694, which means liquid nitrogen boils to fill a volume with nitrogen gas very quickly. Nitrogen is non-toxic, odorless, and colorless. It is relatively inert. It is not flammable.
12
What would happen if you ate liquid nitrogen?
So, although the nitrogen is non-toxic, this is cold enough to cause instantaneous frostbite. While pin-point-sized droplets of liquid nitrogen on your skin won't pose much of a hazard, the extensive contact you would get from drinking the liquid would cause severe damage to your mouth, esophagus, and stomach.
13
Is it safe to ingest liquid nitrogen?
The main point is that liquid nitrogen must be fully evaporated from the meal or drink before serving, said Peter Barham of the University of Bristol's School of Physics. It can safely be used in food or drink preparation, but it should not be ingested.
14
Can I buy a can of nitrogen for my tires?
You can buy nitrogen gas and put it in tires, as it is becoming a popular alternative to replacing regular air in your tires. You can buy it in places like Costco, tire dealers, and car dealerships. Another option is places that sell welding gases, as they too sometimes will also sell nitrogen.
15
What is the difference between liquid nitrogen and dry ice?
Like carbon dioxide, nitrogen is a gas at standard temperature and pressure, and, like carbon dioxide, it must be pressurized and cooled to change state. However, unlike dry ice, when exposed to cold temperatures and high pressure, the gas turns into a liquid.
16
Where can I get liquid nitrogen for warts?
Your doctor may use liquid nitrogen to freeze the wart. This treatment is called cryotherapy or cryosurgery. Applying liquid nitrogen to the wart causes a little discomfort. To completely remove a wart, liquid nitrogen treatments may be needed every 1 to 3 weeks for a total of 2 to 4 times.
17
How do they get liquid nitrogen?
Nearly all large-scale liquid nitrogen is made by compressing, cooling, and expanding air. This process removes heat from the air and can be repeated until the air liquefies. The condensing gasses are then separated using fractional distillation.

How do you make liquid nitrogen at home?
Part 1 Making the Cryogenic-Temperature Alcohol
- Dress appropriately.
- Gather your supplies.
- Prepare your bottles.
- Nest your bottles.
- Add the dry ice pellets.
- Pour in the isopropyl alcohol about 2" deep.
- Wait till the liquid stops bubbling.
- Pour the liquid nitrogen into a sturdy container and label it appropriately.
