Ice with a Carbon Dioxide Tank  Edited by Nicole Willson,
Maluniu, Desertpaint, Josh and 14 others  Dry ice is carbon
dioxide in the form of a solid. To keep its solid state, dry ice
must be kept at -109 degrees Fahrenheit (-78.5 degrees Celsius).
Once its temperature rises, dry ice sublimates, or turns from a
solid into a gas. Dry ice manufacturing on a large scale cannot
easily be achieved at home, but small amounts can be created
with the utmost caution. The following steps describe how to
make dry ice for any party, science project, or simple home
experiment.  Detailed instructions after the jump.  EditMethod 1

Assemble your materials. You'll need a carbon dioxide fire
extinguisher, a pillowcase (or other sturdy cloth bag), and a
clear, open area.     • This isn't an ordinary home fire
extinguisher. CO2 extinguishers are typically for restaurants,
factories, or rooms with hi-tech equip
