Title: Liquid gas
Post by: Scratch- on May 03, 2004, 07:05:27 PM

Anyway to make "Homemade" liquid gasses like nitrogen/oxygen or for extracting xenon? I don’t get much from the search engines.

You could buy a $10-20K small machine for making cryogenic liquids.  Building your own machine will present a problem, though.  Take a trip to your local university library and look through the Kirk-Othmer encyclopedia of technology, and look under nitrogen, liquid.  It will give you the entire process for making it.

liquidifying gas at home? Making liquid N₂ is too hazardous. Try liquifying ammonia.. (bp shldnt be too low, but it's still liquifying gas technically)
