"Laughing Gas"

[Heresy 10+ year member]

Nitrogen = flammable

Get a periodic table, nitrogen is a noble gas that is not flammable. It takes a great deal of energy to react with anything, but it has been done in a lab setting before. In normal everyday life, there is no way in hell you will get nitrogen to react. However, you were partially correct on the nitrous oxide.

On to nitrous oxide:

Q: Is nitrous oxide flammable?

A: No. Nitrous oxide by itself is non-flammable. However, the oxygen present in nitrous oxide causes combustion of fuel to take place more rapidly. (http://www.nightrider.com/biketech/nos01.htm)

FALLACY: N2O is explosive and a fire hazard.

FACT: N2O will not burn, nor is it a fuel. It is merely an oxygen-rich compound that supports the combustion of additional fuel. That's why additional fuel is injected along with the N2O on all N2O systems. It is true that if N2O is added to a combustion process already in progress, the extra oxygen may cause rapid, uncontrolled combustion, thus raising the peak temperatures produced. (http://www.dynopower.freeserve.co.uk/nitrous_oxide/faq_technical.htm)

However, the best article I have found on the subject is this one if you don't mind reading: http://www.idavette.net/hib/nitrous.htm

I was never absolutly sure if N20 was explosive or not, thanks for clearing that up Heresy.

I'm a wiser man causa you //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

* My bad, somebody posted something about the Hindenburg or similar, and I was thinking Hydrogen (atomic weight 1 - i've seen a periodic table.)

You're absolutely correct about nitrogen. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Let's mention "liquid nitrogen" while we're at it.

edit: Dave?! I thought you were smarter than that! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

It was just a thought. I didn't know it was going to be as dangerous.

I got that when I had my wisdom teeth out.

I have had alll sorts of painkillers, anesthesias, etc.. for various surgerys....

That is right there at the top of them.

But there is no way to get it. I believe you need a license or something.

if you want to try it you can get the little canisters of it at any restaurant supply store as it is used to produce restaurants own "homeade" whipped cream and then any local head shop will sell crackers with pins inside just load the cartridge in stick a balloon on top of the cracker give it a small twist and then inhale and your set. big thing about it in the local paper not to long ago here

thought i would have been the only one to think of this........for $6 you get like 20 canisters(look like co2 cartridges)....its like a 1000 x a whip it.

The appeal of liquid nitrogen wears off quickly. You can douse a jawbreaker in it then drop it on the ground; it shatters like glass. Put a balloon in it, and see it shrink. After that, there really isn't much stupid fun you can have with it. We never could get any metal cold enough to where it would shatter.

Something much more fun is liquid oxygen which is a hell of a lot scarier than liquid nitorgen, but what do you expect from such a strong oxidizing agent that can also turn a simple candle into a firework display? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

i know too many people that've done a LOT of commercial N20 and they're ok.... but i only say that cuz i've never done it in my life lol. f*ck killing brain cells. one balloon pretty much kills as many brain cells as a good acid trip.

leave it for the cars

Oh there are ways to get good medical grade tanks //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif Like stated i had a 5footer at one time //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif Good times had by all //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif
