BOY! Thanks for watching. This was a very fun (and complicated) episode to get done. Also, if you haven't played the game and you have a PS4, you probably should. It's fantastic. -- KH
Thermodynamics is always fun (and extremely complicated).
Because Science why doesn’t the axe blade shatter on impact? How strong would it need to be to survive these extreme temperatures?
Quarter2Doom
If you are thinking of things like someone shattering a banana dipped in liquid nitrogen you might be under a bit of a misconception. When the temperature is lowered, objects require more energy to deform, not less. So the blade would actually be harder to break or bend because the atomic binding between molecules would become stronger. You can snap a rose in half with your fingers when it is room temp but it requires a hammer to break in half when frozen.
Here's an interesting article on how those scientists can achieve sub-1-Kelvin temperatures: www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-are-temperatures-clos/
I think active cooling like they do here might be a more plausible way for the axe to work
So going on with the example of how "Cold" works by accepting kinetic energy from warm particles... Going below 0 Kl (Al be it impossible) will mean that the blade is somehow supposed to not only accept kinetic energy, but absorb more than it is usually given?
Probably doesn't make sense any way

@@SzadoB I just watched the vid lmao
science we dont understand yet is always labelled 'magic', ofc this is fiction but I mean in general
When you called your Leviathan Axe to you while explaning the variables it took it 39 sec to reach you (4:30 - 5:09). Using YT's video speed control I measured that the axe moved from the right side of the screen to the left side in 1.9 sek at 1/4 speed which means that it flew by you in 0.475 sec.
To calculate the width of the section of the emotionless void that is shown in the video I used the average shoulder width of about 19in or 48.26cm and measured that your shoulders were 15cm apart on my 34.2cm screen in fullscreen mode. This means that your body from shoulder to shoulder is taking up 44.05% of the videos width and 48.26/0.4405 = 109.55cm is the range of the void that is visible. Taking my time measurement from earlier I calculated that the axe was flying through the screen at a speed of 0.475s/1.0955m = 2.306m/s.
This means that if your axe took 39 sek to reach you, assuming it flew at a relatively constant speed after take-off, it was about 90m (295ft 3.3in) away from you.
This is over three times the current world record for throwing an axe at a target. (The biggest number I could find is 27.5m or 90ft)
Congratulations to your achievement!

That is impossible, because, the realms have a temperature that is not infinitely cold. Rather, it has a Temperature, keeping the axe from going to an infinitely cold temperature. If it was that cold, it would FREEZE LITERALLY EVERYTHING IN EXISTENCE.

To freeze an enemy with an ace throw, you have to hold back L2 and R2. This charges up the throw and when he swings it back, the axe covers itself in loads of ice.
Maybe it just creates a layer of ice around the enemy rather than freezing their body which also explains why they don't die.
@@pasindudinusha6507yes but you can shatter frozen enemies
@@pasindudinusha6507why do you assume that freezing them solid would kill them? You’re using real world logic on a world that has magic
@@christophermoore6110 Same reason why you assume they won't die. We don't know. Even in the game, they are frozen in some places, yet they come to life when we get near. Also at the same time, frost attacks work on them. So, we can't say what works and what does not.
I would like to point out that the Axe doesn't freeze someone solid. It encases them in ice. If it froze them solid then they would shatter into pieces when you hit them once.
In the game they unfreeze and the ice shatters off of them.
Matthew Hilliker I guess technically, they can shatter if you hit them and make them go flying towards and hit a solid surface (Wall or Rock) so in a sense, they can be cold enough to shatter but not enough with a single punch which is the point you’re trying to make obviously...
Excellent point, but how does it freeze the air around its victim? Maybe it forms an extremely cold gust as it flies towards them?
Matthew Hilliker You can actually shatter them if you kill them before they “thaw”
Matthew Hilliker you can shatter it with one punch if the health bar is very low
Matthew Hilliker this comment proves the video was around misinformation that is very informing.

@@philosoraptor771 I understood that reference 😂
This is great. Now we can have a "How hot are the Blades Of Chaos?" video
But IF the axe froze the Draugr completely they wouldn't be able to come back to 'life' as soon as Kratos called the axe back. Wouldn't it be more 'realistic' if inside the axes engraving there would be some kind of outlet for supercooled Liquid Or Gas? So the impact of the Axe would release an burst of this gas and cool down the humidity around the victim so much, that it would be encased in ice (theoretically). Maybe the Dwarves Punch-markings are actually some kind of pressure pump Process which fill up a container inside the Axes Handle with a Liquid or gas they create from the frozen flames?
This also would explain why he can shoot Ice waves over the ground and encase the blade with Ice. Some real Eitri shit going on there. Ancient weaponry which actually is a huge chunk of technology.
You know its magic right?

Great video Kyle! But I do think you made a bit of a wrong assumption...
Draugrs are dead bois right? So then why compare their body temperature to alive bois? id bet they have a lower body temperature, and I think that if you took the temperature of a corpse, you’d have a closer approximation. Corpses, due to death chill (algor mortis), lose heat at about .83 degrees Celsius (1.5 degF) each hour until they reach room temp. And, draugrs are corpses of dead dudes reanimated, right? So, depending on where the draugr came from, and how long it’s been in the place you are in, it’s body temperature would vary. SO if a draugr came from a northern area, and was chillin out in a frozen wasteland waiting to fight Kratos (kinda like how we see in the game) his/her body temp may already be below freezing!! I’d bet our frost ace could freeze them through then!
Would the fact that the corpse is reanimated and moving around increase it's temperature a bit above room temperature? Maybe not much, but I would guess that tissue on tissue friction and things like that would heat it up a bit.
Lord Baktor really good point! Only problem is I’m not sure how we’d implement that in the formula, since we don’t know how much friction/heat is being produced. Really good point though I didn’t think of that!
I believe that, even if those bois were already at 0C, the amount of heat transfer needed to bump it over from liquid 0C to solid 0C is still too much. Source: Matter Beam; see above
Perhaps, but what about the dead bois that are on fire that still get completely frozen. Then the axe would have to be even colder
ninjajake21 but they wouldn't be able to move without snapping off limbs. Kyle is right that you must assume the creature is at least above frosting temperature, which can occur at around 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Hell, the motions they make would warm them up just from friction.
If you want to get that detailed, then they wouldn't have sweat or exhalation, which means any movement would warm them up extremely fast. They dont have the biological heatsinks that nature provides living beings.
Hi all!
I discussed freezing with Kyle for a bit. The critical issue, as the video explains, is the temperature gradient. Between 0K and body temperature (37°C or 310K), there is a gradient of... 310K. As the flesh cools, the temperature gradient becomes smaller and the heat transfer (further cooling) becomes slower and slower. The best approximation is actually 273K, because that is the temperature at which water freezes and becomes ice.
Phase changes happen at constant temperature: the temperature does not change until you remove enough heat energy to change liquid water at 0°C into ice at 0°C.
Even worse, as the ice layer gets thicker, the 'L' value in the equation becomes bigger, which proportionately slows down heat transfer. Trying to cool flesh through 10cm of ice is ten times harder than through 1cm of ice.
Another problem is that heatsinks... eventually fill up. Kratos's axe might be magic and stay perfectly cold no matter what, but real world objects heat up as they absorb heat. Imagine you put two ice cubes inside a cup full of hot coffee. It will only cool down by a little bit, until the ice cubes melt. If you put four ice cubes in, you'll cool it down twice as much, and so on, until the coffee is ice-cold... that is the 'cooling capacity' of the ice cubes.
A real world axe would have a cooling capacity too. If it were made of steel, this wouldn't be much. If the axe has a volume of 0.0004m^3, then the steel would absorb at most 0.0004m^3 * 8000kg/m^2 * 500J/kg/K * 310K = 496kJ. That is barely enough to freeze 1kg of flesh.
So, coming back to Kyle's conclusion, in the best of cases, freezing a Draugr instantly is impossible, and with realistic considerations, it's even more impossible.
hey Matter Beam, do you have a Twitter I can follow?

i just noticed that
Plot twist
He's really dead
Never noticed, just saw it as a red thread... but now that I see it it's cool, cooler than the leviathan axe
I've also heard that when matter reaches absolute zero, the particles are so close and motionless that it becomes a singular quantum wave. If his axe was to reach absolute zero would it even function practically
Well considering they are GODS yes? U think they using human level weapons? NO
Never understood humans thinking gods work by humans rules lmao fuck outta here
What if the axe didn't rely on the static conductivity but somehow increased that conductivity so that heat could be exchanged faster?
Kind of like how blowing on hot soup makes it cool faster.
I don't know what mechanism that might be, any ideas?
Its just magic nothing to do with science
*Insert multiple sentences that are related to change of temperature, surface area and total volume*
*Insert equation*

Love you, Kyle.
That's how I write scripts -- KH
Wouldn't freezing a corpse boy that fast also create an explosion like with Ice-Man? That heat has to go somewhere, right?
Since the leviathan axe seem to get cold all by itself, I'm assuming it breaks the conservation of energy and just voids heat because magic. I know, wrong show.
I think the heat would leave through the axe, that's the impression I got
Doug Rogan Rea then there'd be an explosion
My theory is the gem is supercooled and the temerature switches between thehead and gem
i wondered the same thing . Kyle said on one of his episodes it would create an explosion as energy is moving too fast .l

Great episode! You are the only channel I watch on a regular basis Kyle. I have so many questions I would love you to talk about. Be on the lookout for some soon.
ahhh that's why SubZero is ... well ... sub zero
Quick answer: ICE COLD!!!
Why? Because science.
(For more details watch the video)
Alright alright alright alright
0:09 my weapon would be an umbrella
this is my favorite episode by far i absolutely loved this
Neglecting the (extremely large) problem of the cold not being able to be cold enough...
When the draugr gets frozen, presumably all of that thermal energy goes directly back into the axe head instantaneously. That's a massive increase in temperature for the axe blade, but then it has to be re-cooled back down so that it can be chain-thrown repeatedly and still be able to maintain its freezing efficacy. It's very unlikely that the axe itself is providing this cooling since that would mean that it would eventually run out of whatever coolant it was using. Since Kratos is coming into contact with the weapon between throws, it can only be Kratos himself cooling the blade off by touching it. Maybe this is why Kratos bursts into flames - he absorbs so much of the heat from the Leviathan Axe that it causes him to combust!
Quick fact. If Kratos' axe absorb the heat from things that it froze and we assumed an average human body, if all the heat went into the handle, it would increase in temperature by over 3000C.
That is hot enough to melt titanium and definitely beyond the ignition point of the wood.
The wood you see is not wood, but made of Groot.
Sean Peery Magic wood! 😂
Sean Peery maybe that’s why you build the rage meter by killing shit, because all that heat is being absorbed by Kratos himself and turned into his fiery Spartan Rage. Notice that he’s never holding any weapons in his hands when the rage is active in GoW4
Well I mean it's a magic freezing axe that can magically return if thrown, it wss made by a pair of magical dwarves, it's upgraded by a magical material called frozen flame, the source of it's cold comes from some magical ice trolls, and it can magically withstand the force that Kratos can swing it at, so there's a small chance that the wood might be magical, but no guarantee
GBishop17 will nobody comment about my rage meter connection?
what if time was accelerated by the magic of the axe? (meaning the minutes necessary to freeze an opponent passed by for that opponent in an extremely accelerated rate?)
You're channel is a gift to my life!
You're very interesting & fun.
You don't swear.
And you're just downright awesome!
Tried to call the leviathan axe but got stormbreaker instead.
Now calculate how much energy Stormbreaker have.
Well, using the numbers Kyle used on the Stormbreaker episode, if all the energy was kept in the head from the casting process would be 200,000,000,000,000,000,000J of energy. if that was discharged as electricity in a .1 second, its wattage would be 1,318,815,734.48W.
Hey, what about another assumption.
Keep the axe at 0K. But assume that the axe would just turn into liquid as soon as it touches something and freeze within let's say 5 sec and was some material that doesn't absorb heat and so won't melt off by body heat ( radiations ☠) or won't allow the flesh inside to radiate heat (or probably slowed heat radiation). Then it would be correct. It didn't instantly freeze flesh but it formed a layer outside that froze, encasing them in ice, the same effect.
Another thing the bodies were dead and environment was already ice cold so the bodies were already below 0°C. So we don't really need to worry about heat radiations again melting the ice formed around them.
I am sorry but your calculation completely breaks down when you lower the temperature at near zero but you leave the same value at the constant k. At these temperatures the thermal capacities are completely different and they are not even continuous and therefore cause a completely different k. Also at these temps Bose-Einstein condensates are going to be formed so I wouldn’t go as far as to use the law of conduction, i f I were to do such a calculation myself I’d probably do the microscopical view first getting the results of atomic interactions and then use distribution functions to find the transfer of heat, but not as heat, as energy states first and the convert that to temperature. Also, I’d do that because of the lack of thermodynamic data for the materials used. If the axe was from solid helium for instance I might use some thermodynamic data as well in order to save some effort, but even for water at these temps no data exist. (I love your vids, plus I am doing a PhD in cryogenics so that why I wanted to give my input!)
It's fuckin magic that's why
Man with PHD: long answer with science backing it up
Second man: iTs fUcKiN mAGiC!
Brok and Sindri
His calc break down when he assume draugr have the same temp as human. THEY BLEED FUCKING LAVA FOR FUCK SAKE.
However you want to calculate the temperature gradient of the ax & some fleshy creature-looking thing, it's still not gonna change the overall conclusion. Absolute Zero, or 0K, is still NOT cold enough to freeze animate/inanimate objects within seconds. Atomic interactions, distribution functions, whatever, is not going to make a difference, or a significant one at that. Your values may differ, but the end result is still the same. It's just not "cool" enough, plain & simple.
I’ve seen a few videos of yours over the years and I found this 5 year old video today and it’s by far the funniest one you’ve made
What if it was, instead of drawing heat away instead forcing atoms to slow down by slowing time? Wouldnt that object or badboi seem colder to the rest of us?
Alternatively, what if it was just freezing the air and moisture around the enemy. Encasing them rather than freezing them solid.
Also this shows why Iceman is an Omega Level mutant in Marvel Universe.
Really cool idea!
Just how strong is kratos. Topic for your next video

-100K is an approximate of Kratos’ axe.
*"They decided to replace his signature Blades of Chaos"*
There are two other variables you could mess with, even if making a real thing with these properties is not possible.
The first is the active surface area of the axe. We see it embed itself in the monster, so the surface area is a bit more than you used.
The second is the thermal conductivity of the axe. It is forged to be suitable for gods after all, so i don't think it is made of steel. If we made the thermal conductivity much higher than the level you used, then you can reduce the time further.
*ᛒ ᛟ ᛁ*
Marcelo Gadelha not completely relevant, but I like where your head is at.
@Because Science I love your videos, whenever you do videos on games or movies I have always wondered what the science is. First time I seen your videos, I was hooked. Love your videos and jealous of your hair tho o.o so damn shiny
That ice melting detail even before you were done talking about it, was a kojima like level of detail
What if the axe doesn't freeze, but instead just sucks up the heat into the blade. I mean this is magic were talking about, and magic is just science we cannot explain yet.
Well, that is in fact what Kyle described, heat transferring from a Creature to the Blade through the transfer of kinetic energy, effectively sucking the heat from the poor (now very frosty) boy.
Precisely -- KH
Björn Rubencûfe zip it boi
so we're going from the axe being a frosty boi to a sucky boi?
hot
Sucking up heat is what freezing is, but you raise an interesting point. We can't see the blade of the axe when it's embedded, so it could be increasing its area once it buries itself in. Sending out little cold tendrils or something.
How fast would Kratos have to swing his blades of chaos to create the fire on them? (Obviously I know he has powers but without them being in play)
UFO KingJose99 those blades can burn at will even in the cold of hel, brother
Hyenatwo 4 I would say roughly 20,000-21,500 MPH just because of how intense the fire is it’s not a corona of Fire it’s a complete blaze engulfing the blades
I'd rather know, how hot would they need to be to be spun around and still hold a constant flame? (In moves like GoW3's L1+square they spin around him really fast and seem to make more flames)
Nerds
MAORI CHIEF GAMING loser
Your channel is gold
Maybe the axe possess some ability like time compression, and upon hitting the target it makes the time to flow faster around certain area or for the object it's touching.
Kyle, wouldn't it be possible for the Leviathan axe could also generate liquid with temperatures you mentioned? The axe in game, as it impacts a target, explodes slightly on impact before the target freezes.
That seems to me it's not freezing the target, but rather coating it in a liquid the axe generates. It can also explain why when the axe hits a interactive object, gears for example, they get covered in ice quickly. So instead of the axe being super cold it's self it can make a super cold liquid, like Mai's weapon in Overwatch, explode on contact, then constantly secreting the liquid covering foe, gear, or poison generating totem in a thick layer of ice.
Could this be what's happening?
The unite of measurement for that much coldness can only be measured in "MyGF'sHeart" measurements. Those measurements measure a temperature so cold, it freezes *your soul!* Yeah, Cratos axe can freeze your soul according to these measurements!
Fun fact - the same heat transfer as described in 2:45 happens in ducks feet venes and that's what allows them to walk on much lower temperature surfaces without freezing and hurting them :D
Short answer: It’s magic.
the Q formulas is also kinda spelling the word KALT, which is german for cold
JayFolipurba Neat, thanks for pointing it out!
Oh dang -- KH
Kyle you better watch out Kratos is coming for you in the next game.
6:04 Turbo-tastic!
I like how Mjolnir naturally gravitates towards Kyle
What if its not the flesh that's freezing?
What if its the air around the enemy that freezes?
Is there any way that's physically possible?
Also are you ever gonna tell us how do you write on that glass?????
Btw the last part was really cool
Awesome vid I love your videos they are not only awesome but cool have an ice day
This video in 1 word.
Magic
Maybe the axe activates it’s magic when it’s axe head hits the target which freezes the air around the drauger as well as internally
But hey that’s just a theory a... game theory.
aNobody wrong channel
Just a thought, but if that’s what’s required to freeze near instantly, imagine the heat burst that occurs as you pull the axe back. Sure, it causes a little damage in the game & we have to ignore magic as before, but I’d imagine the heat required to insta-thaw them on axe recall would be enough to cause catastrophic conflagration in the surrounding area also, resulting in them seeming going from freezing to burning from environmental fire, not to mention setting nearby enemies ablaze.
mdavies97131 exactly what happens in game dude. Send the axe to a drauger, pull it back and the drauger exploded. Although not all of drauger.
The tongue part killed me 😂😂😂😂😂
Now I have this funny image of Kratos saying "BOI! Math time." Which Atreous. In response. Would fall to his knees and scream "NO!" To the heavens
If the temperature changed so rapidly, that means that the pressure changes rapidly, right? So wouldn't the pressure change completely destroy the draugr? Also, if it does, then the draugr would explode because of the pressure difference and the poor boy would forever be haunted by the visions of a dead corpse exploding into a million little bits right in front of him. I also saw a simmilar comment that said something about the temperature difference and explosions. Pls no hard feelings, I'm not copying your comment. You have a good point and I'm just saying that the pressure difference would do a simmilar effect.
Vedran Jakelic Thats only for gases. solids and liquids dont do that. so the air in their lungs (if indeed draugr have functioning lungs) would depressurize and they would basically take a massive breath in assuming theyre not sealed in ice. After that, their lungs might explode while they thawed or they might just make a similarly large breath out, im not sure. Might depend on the speed with which they thaw.
Just imagine having air forced inside of your lungs. Should be a painful experience...
But yeah corpses do not react like that to cold, cause our fleshy bois have a proper volume and proper shape, which in turns mean that he won't explode that easily from rapid temperature shift !

Repeatedly press it
Im glad you made the Mjolnir joke at the end. If there ever was a video where people are gonna abuse the joke of calling you thor. The video on the game that takes place in Norse mythology is probably gonna be one of the top places to find them.
FACT: The blades of chaos hasn't been tookin out of the game, it's just now became Kratos secondary weapon.
what if the blade isn't cold, but warm? the mpemba effect is the observation that warm water freezes much more quickly than cold water. what if the blade is heating up their bodies so that they are becoming frozen, not from the blade itself, but from their frozen environment freezing them due to the mostly water bodies of the draugr being easier to freeze?
dpbw0w but enemies freeze in muspelheim, too and it's definetly not cold there so i doubt that it could be explained that way but it's still a cool idea haha
That wouldn’t work because the blade works in Spring season like conditions. The whole game isn’t in a frosty land it covers many areas with different temperatures and the axe always instantly freezes them.
Water freezing faster when warm vs cold is specific to water, and tap water at that. Pure H2O doesn't demonstrate this effect and it is still unknown what chemical reaction causes this exactly, but it is through to have to do with the minerality of the water. Other materials do no demonstrate this effect so it would not work here.
In addition to other replies, heating something up would take just as long as cooling it down unless you intend to actually burn it, in which case, there should be charring or ignition.
What if the axe sucks every last bit of heat from what kratos uses it on, and then transfers it to kratos to power his Spartan rage and blades of chaos
Sometimes the answer is just MAGIC
Kratos' axe could also just have really good thermal conduction. Then it would make the flesh-freezing faster. He could be using some sort of unknown alloy, or the axe could have some sort of time-warping technology which saps kinetic energy or freezes foes in times... i mean if you're temporally frozen, then you'd also be literally frozen since your kinetic energy would be zero.
The axe doesn't necessarily need to freeze the entire body. When you freeze an enemy in the game, sometimes they thaw themselves out on their own, which would imply their interior is still warm and the heat from the inside would move outwards in order to thaw the enemy out
i mean yea but gameplay isn't fair to assess because the game's trying to challenge you
well it's fair but it's difficult to assess gameplay
Thor's axe stormbreaker Vs Kratos Leviathan axe
Super Llama oooo that’s a good one actually. I’d still say storm breaker would be stronger becuase it draws form thor and vise versa. Leviathan axe isn’t directly connected to kratos. It’s just a weapon. And again, Stormbreaker gets stronger WITH thor and powers up.
@@game-enjoyer13
Kratos is *God of War* BTW
He is connected to every weapons ever.
One thing, isn't the drauger very warm since if you execute some of them they explode and deal fire status effect on enemies near the execution. This scientific explanation would work on the Hel-walkers but they are resistant to attacks from the leviathen axe
Maybe i have missunderstood something but i think you underastimated the surface area of contact. Of course the edge has not much of it but when you think about the axe blade sides and how deep they are inside the target you should get more surface area or not?
How can you write on the air in your void?
He concentrates on what should appear and use the marker as a focus to do so, like writing "I am Voldemort" in Harry Potter, only in neater scripture. ;-)
*BOI*
What if the axe was enchanted in a way that it basically just vacuumed up all heat of anything the axe touches? Sounds sick
Just a thought. What if his axe exhibited the same effect that the cold storm in the movie "The Day After Tomorrow" did. In that it was already starting to freeze the target as soon as it was launched and then finally hitting the already frozen bad guy. There have been instances where flash freezing did occur in the past, right?
What if the axe didn't actually freeze its targets, but instead caused something like rigor mortis and "magically" turned them frosty blue in appearance only? Maybe the axe could turn cold on command, but not to the extent of freezing someone. That "freezing" is actually a deceptive paralytic that turns all of the target's muscles rigid, and given the outward appearance freezing, the common person would assume the axe has extreme temperature-manipulating properties.
Can we realistically science this weapon into fooling the average joe into believing they can actually freeze their targets without literally freezing them in the time shown in the game? If not instantaneously, at least in the order of seconds.
So a Gen-jutsu like the tree binding one in Naruto? The enemy only thinks it's frozen/bound but is not.
Well, with an axe lodged into your head or chest and with the rest of your body paralyzed, I don't expect the target would be doing much thinking at all. But maybe we could fool the person throwing the axe (and potentially any other onlookers) into thinking his axe has instantaneous freezing capabilities.
neat!...then lets say that heat energy were somehow stored to power it's return flight?
just because it's generated doesn't mean it can't be captured and stored...right? (I"m not sure just thinking out loud here)
assuming the first part were somehow physically possible, why not use that energy to fuel a system?
it would need to be released at some point though....but how?
Isn't it possible for the leviathan axe to freeze the air around the draugr and thereby freezing it in place, instead of it having to freeze it's body. It should be possible since air freezes at about 58 Kelvin.
no Kelvin starts at 0 (-273 degrees)
Problem is that air is composed of a lot of gases that do not freeze at the same time (that's why you can have liquid nitrogen, oxygen etc...) and also, because air has shitty conductivity, which really wouldn't allow to freeze it instantly.
Nice try though !
Have a filter field around the ax that just let Nitrogen in. Then compress it then decompress rapidly in a cycle .
This would result in quite a cloud of smoke,in contact, but like I said, air a shitty conductivity, meaning that you culdn't accomplish that very often, also, you would have to invent such a filter field, which, in this case couldn't really be very grounded. We are trying to reconstitute the axe in real life after all, not using magical logic scream-of-troll here !
Anyway, you would also have to make the axe quite shallow in order to accomodate that much nitrogen anyway, and it still wouldn't be cold enough to freeze the air around your draugh, remember that liquid nitrogen vaporize quickly, but do not really freeze the air around it.
And also, with so much liquid in it, it would make a water bottle noise every single time that Kratos or anyone weilding it is moving the axe-head, and it's not that great to stay serious and moody.
James Earl Jones voice...."ICE ICE BABY....TO COLD TOO COLD!"
Snake seems blushed here which is cool
Draugr or Drauger?
We need magic? Let's talk magic then:
Suppose the trick in the axe was not that thermal energy was constantly drawn out of it, but that it has an infinite heat capacity? It would be impossible to heat it up, because it would require an infinite amount of energy.
You'd still need a sufficient temperature gradient and thermal conductivity as it is what dictates the speed of the process. An ideal heat sink as Kyle put it, already has infinite heat capacity
Yeah I realised on second thought that something with an infinite heat capacity is not 'contagious', so to speak, and still only cools down (infinitely fast) that which is in direct contact with it. Too bad ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
while we're at it talking about magic. what if the axe could change the conductivity of objects that come into contact with the blade? so if you were to swing at a draugr, they magically become more conductive, allowing heat to leave their body more freely.
Because Magic™
one thing i wonder, a draugr is a corpse,so wouldn't it be a little colder than a person? and it looks to be rather cold outside as well, wouldn't this affect the time/w/e? i'm not saying it'd give us what we need/want, but maybe get us slightly closer?
Hey Kyle great episode, but I noticed something when you wrote down the surface area of blade of the axe you wrote 0.043m^2 then when you substitute in the eq you wrote down .43 m^2, I kinda got lost so which one is correct?
Also when you put down "delta T" you wrote 37k if it's the human body temp shouldn't it be 310k or 37°c
P.s love the show keep up the good work
the real question is how the axe returns to Kratos's hand perfectly everytime.
