Abstract

This paper aims to investigate the possibility of a human surviving a cannon of compressed liquid nitrogen, based on the signature skill of the operator Weedy from the videogame Arknights. The skill deals damage with the nitrogen itself, as well as by pushing the target with force, therefore chemical and physical perspectives will be considered.
