Easy-to-make cryophoruses

Abstract

This article describes some simple cryophoruses that can be made with basic laboratory equipment. Our guiding principle in these designs was "Would a high school chemistry laboratory have the resources required to make these cryophoruses?" The article also describes the use of cyclohexane as a working liquid, and shows that it is indeed better for a cryophorus than all previously reported liquids. The cryophorus is an excellent apparatus to illustrate evaporative cooling in a dramatic fashion.
