In response to what Michael Fuhrer (mikef@physics.berkeley.edu) wrote: ... > You really don't need to enclose the lock in styrofoam. Just pouring enough of the stuff over the lock should do it. I've even seen "spray cans" that let you aim the nitrogen at a specific spot. And, if the nitrogen evaporates violently, you know it's cooling something. The thing that worried me is that liq. nitrogen is so easy to get at (you're in the phys dept, so you know what i mean). If it's so well known, how come we never hear about it from the lock manufacturers? Good point abou the torch, though! But, I guess that would take longer than the freezing method (i've seen it done in a matter of seconds, but not on a lock). ??? --
