Happy Fourth of July! and how did this thread start? Petro wrote:
I'd also suggest using a water extinguisher, the kind you can refill/recharge yourself. There are some out there, the big silver kind where you can unscrew the top and fill with your liquid of choice, then presurize with a tire pump. As an aside, one _could_ fill these with a combination of gasoline and a gelling agent to make a short range flame thrower, not that that would be a smart or safe thing to do (really, there wouldn't be much to keep the flame from wandering back up inside the cylinder, and haveing it explode in your hands would make it very hard to type...).
Actually these things are usually inverted so that the liquid is fed out from the bottom so the hose probably won't act like a fuse. At least
Some are, some aren't. depends on the age.
until the liquid runs out and there is a combustible pathway into the container. If you try this one could you get someone to videotape it from a safe distance? It would make a great AVI for an 'anarchists on the web' site.
Ummm, I live in the middle of Chicago, I don't think it's going to be anytime soon.
At least mention nitrogen or helium.
Yeah, but it's harder to get than Air, which can be done with a bicycle pump.
But COMPRESSED_AIR + GASOLINE? Are you one nut short of a matched pair? Gasoline scares the hell out of me. It should you.
Did you see the part where I mention that I am (a) an ex-marine, and that (b) whilst in the Marine Corpse I was in Aircraft Firefighting and Rescue? You ever seen 3000 gallons of jet fuel burn, and it was your job to get up close and personal with a fire hose. 5 gals. of burning gasoline is NOT a problem. 5 Gals. cooking off in a sealed container IS a problem.
You don't live anywhere near me do you?
You live in S.F. right?
You should try baking bread instead.
Boring.
Don't you think this conversation should be continued on some AOL forum?
