We use liquid N2 at the nuke plants for freeze seals to form an isolation point for valve cutouts, etc.
Nitrogen filled tires

How much liquid nitrogen do you want? We have a 60 thousand litre tank and 3 that are 11000 litre that we use as buffer tanks for our pipeline. We also have 20 thousand of liquid oxygen. Liquid nitrogen is so fun to freeze things with and smash them. Bananas shatter like glass
Just a gallon to top off. Then hook me up with a small thermos to freeze off some warts.

I put helium in my tires. They reduce overall weight and increase 0-60 performance.
I thought it was standard practice to put helium in the rear tire to help reduce any posible contact with the road.

But that 0.01%:must be the condensation from hydrogen contamination.
I've been using a similar mix in my tires. It works great for me.
I may even try running myself on that sort of mix and see how well I go on it. -

I used nitrogen when I bought my tires at CostCo, but haven't used them for tires in a while now. Got this interesting article in an email today from Popular Mechanics that claims it's the moisture in normal air that causes the variations in tire pressure compared to pure nitrogen -
Nitrogen Vs Compressed Air in Tires: Which is Best
This makes me wonder if I place a moisture filter in my air compressor distribution line will I see any improvement since I will presumably reduce the amount of moisture in my air supply? -

Nitrogen Vs Compressed Air in Tires: Which is Best
This makes me wonder if I place a moisture filter in my air compressor distribution line will I see any improvement since I will presumably reduce the amount of moisture in my air supply?I use the husky(HD) filter on my compressor, the toys use normal air and they still loose pressure over winter vs our daily drivers that have nitrogen.
One SUV in particular has never had anything added to the tires in ~3 years.
Although I can't say that your theory is wrong but based on the filter that I own pure nitrogen is still better.

I'v e actually has decent results with little leaking on my vehicles (2013 Ford Edge and 2015 Slingshot), but my Wife's 2008 Nissan Altima seems to need air added to the tires every month or so.

Never use the stuff myself and still had to bring the pressure back up in the tires that had nitrogen.

Polaris actually has to fill all non-RED slingshot's tires with helium so they can try to catch the faster red ones

I thought that was just a stop gap, while they did the development of the new, (smaller, non-EU compliant), engine, for all the non-RED SlingShots.

Atmospheric air, the air we breathe is 78% nitrogen, that only leaves 22% for all other things in the air. Nitrogen is used in race tires to combat changes in tire pressures that we would never see or feel. It is said that nitrogen has bigger molecules so it does not leak out of the tire over time. So my questions are,
1. If the other 22% leaks out and the nitrogen does not when you add air in so you at some point have all nitrogen. For free.
2. How do mounters inflate tires with nitrogen? Do they somehow suck all the air out of the tire then fill it? Or do they fill purge, then fill again. How many cycles?
3. What happens when your nitrogen filled tire needs more nitrogen or goes flat? How many tire shops keep a bottle of nitrogen around, none I know of here abouts.
4. Most race applications measure the tire pressure in very small increments, tenths of a pound. When was the last time you saw a tire pressure gauge in that small of an increment?
Just another form of snake oil pushed off on the unsuspecting motorist.
