Procure surplus aircrew oxygen masks from the Air Force which cover the nose and mouth and hook the hose up to a tank of carbon dioxide. Simple and cheap.

Helium would be funnier since their voices would get so high....

Not very good thinking, they would float away and escape.

Your body has no mechanism for sensing the absence of oxygen. It does have a means of sensing CO2 and pushing the panic button.
With N2 you will just pass out and asphyxiate.

Why not just throw them to polar bears? Then you get free cleanup as well.

i say, yes, do employ nitrogen to knock them out. Then, before they die, use a magic marker to draw a penis on their forehead. Then place a mirror in front of them and up the oxygen until they awaken just long enough to see their reflection, then pour on the nitrogen again until they are dead.

Nitrogen for tires is one of the most insane ideas I’ve ever heard. The air you breathe every day is 78% nitrogen.

Well they us it in racing because the lack of moisture in pure nitrogen fill gives a more consistent pressure vs temperature curve as the tire heats up.

So it was an easy “sell” for the masses.

You cannot use nitrogen from a welding supply house. That nitrogen is not approved for medical uses. In order to protect the health of the condemned, medical nitrogen would have to be used.

Yes, I’m being sarcastic

Nitrogen doesn't corrode the inside of a tubeless wheel.

That's nitrous oxide.

Nitrogen holds less water and is drier. They use it to push out moisture from paper insulated underground cables for that reason. O2 is also corrosive, more so in a wet environment. So N2’s less corrosive, drier, and more temp stable. It’s not really worth the cost for most daily drivers though.

Sulfur hexafluoride is even better, it makes the voice deeper as opposed to more high pitch.

True,they would but isn’t helium heavier since it is a noble gas?
