just trying to start a thread with all the different set-ups for each persons nitrous system. all pics of the installation and the final result would be great. thanks
Err....so you're saying it's an accelerant that isn't flammable?? Wouldn't be a very good one :shakehea:WarmPepsi said:yes, as i said, it's an accelerant... makes it burn faster. but it doesn't burn alone. it's is non-flammable.
Actually the fuel vapor (oxygen and fuel) explodes. There would be no explosion w/o the oxygen, but oxygen by itself would burn given a spark from the plug. It wouldn't explode...it's not an explosive. Flammable also doesn't mean explosive it means flammable.Originally posted by WarmPepsi
oxygen doesn't burn though. you can't pump pure oxygen into your engine and expect it to explode. the fuel does that.
It could, if it caused a spark. The explosion is caused by the fact that the air in the tank is already under pressure. The air would ignite and expand, putting tremendous pressure on the inside walls of the tank, causing it to explode. Oxygen by itself isn't explosive though.ParadigmShifter said:also, if the tank were to rupture, wouldnt that cause an explosion? cuz of the pressure or something like that. i failed physics.
but it is corrosive tho. its the main reason why old people look so gnarly. remember that genetic experiment the swedes did? the guy who could survive on methane in an isolated methane tank? that guys was like 400 years old before he died, but looked 20. he commited suicide cuz he was so sexually frustrated (cuz no one else could survive a minute in the methane tank)coldfusion said:Oxygen by itself isn't explosive though.
those swedes, i swear. down south in europe in the 1600s the renaissance is really getting going, you know, folks painting with perspective, dark ages over, blah blah blah, but the swedes, the swedes are genetically modifying men to survive 400 years on methane.ParadigmShifter said:but it is corrosive tho. its the main reason why old people look so gnarly. remember that genetic experiment the swedes did? the guy who could survive on methane in an isolated methane tank? that guys was like 400 years old before he died, but looked 20. he commited suicide cuz he was so sexually frustrated (cuz no one else could survive a minute in the methane tank)
Yeah, especially as the tank says "non-flammable"WarmPepsi said:1. i never took chem. it's all just common sence and such.
thanks, you are actually the first person to notice. i did some other ones too... http://forums.clubrsx.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=853342. i really like that idea with the avatar. az and i were doing something before like that with his sig and his car shot, but never thought of it to the level you used it. :thumbsup:
I stand corrected...oxygen is indeed an accelerant.WarmPepsi said:then i'll surely let you re-write the code for hauling this stuff around. the pro's that deal with various gasses all day long, and the federal government that requires the sticker sign on the front of any truck carrying this has to say "NON-FLAMMABLE"
also...... oxygen does not burn. if oxygen burned, i'd light a match and it'd all burn up. :shakehea: oxygen enables other fuel to burn ( be it gasoline, oil, or anything else ), but oxygen itself is not a fuel. do you understand what i mean?
Damn, well maybe I can find something small at RadioShack.:firemad: I'll have to redo my switch plate no matter what. :firemad:WarmPepsi said:yes, i thought about it, but it's a complex switch, it reverses the voltages when it's pushed opposite ways..... a simple 3 prong switch can't do that..
