The discussion revolves around the cost of liquid helium and liquid nitrogen, with participants inquiring about prices per gallon and the feasibility of purchasing these substances in smaller quantities. The conversation touches on practical considerations related to buying these materials, particularly in non-bulk amounts.
Participants generally agree that liquid nitrogen is cheaper than liquid helium, but there is uncertainty regarding the actual prices and the feasibility of purchasing small quantities. The discussion remains unresolved regarding specific costs and purchasing options.
Participants do not provide specific prices for liquid helium, and there is a lack of clarity on the conditions under which these gases can be purchased in smaller quantities. The discussion also does not establish a clear understanding of the cost variations based on location or supplier.
A quantum dot isn't really something you can buy. Nitrogen is on the order of a dime a gallon, but that's high volume manufacuring prices. You can't really just go buy 10 gal of it.Mk said:No, I'm not thinking of buying one/any, but how much does one cost?, any type. Plus, how much do the two commonmost types of helium in liquid form, and/or liquid nitrogen, cost per gallon? I know liquid nitrogen is cheaper... a lot.
...If I were to not buy in bulk.
