idea where you would find some and if bottled how long would it last?


A standard K sized bottle holds about 220 cubic feet of N2 (at room temp and pressure). A T bottle holds about 300 cubic feet. A T bottle is about $8/fill plus the rent on the bottle which is about 8-10 cents/day.


If you need more, the usual solution is to use LN2. There are low (22psi) and high pressure (230 psi) dewars available. A 180 liter fill is about $70, but the tank is a lot more expensive to rent. 180 liters is about 4100 standard cubic feet. You'll lose a small amount to evaporation each day (<1%)
