We played with that for fun - we put a bunch of crushed up dry ice in the bottom of a shop vac and checked the output temperature. The sublimation rate is not nearly fast enough to affect the temperature.

You'd have a fun argument on your hands if you tried to hold it on the motors yourself. Just used a compressed air can and turn it upside down. Same thing, safer, and probably faster too.
