Oxygen Driven Derby Car

[kingbobisdead]

ok this is very deadly but fun as hell.

What you need:
1) A bunch of oxygen tanks
2) At least one soap box derby car (more if you want to race friends)
3) A road with light traffic

if you have the money, fist buy a bunch of air tanks (or steal them). Once you have them, strap four evenly on to a soap box berby car (two tanks on each side) and get two cars so you and a friend can have a race. next, sit on top of your car and get a very heavy object and make it fall at the fire extigushers that way it will knock the nozzles. Now have someone light the oxygen that is now leaking out, and you and your friends will start truckin'!

make sure that:
(a) the fire extigushers are very, very sucure, because i had one fall off and hit a house (not a good experience),
(b) you can keep control of your vehicle (AKA, dont try to hook up 12 oxygen tanks at a time),
(c) you dont accidentaly brun someone who is watching/racing you,
(d) the cops dont catch you,and
(e) the tops of the fire extighusers are facing the opposite direction of your intended path because there are some stupid people on here.

LMAO. light the oxygen that is leaking out. Good thing oxygen burns so well.

[kingbobisdead]

It would be even funnier if you did this with your good time buddies when all of you were drunk. :lol:

[firetime27]

This would never work. Oxygen doesnt burn!

[kingbobisdead]

well, you could add some propane to the mix, duh.

dude like any gas is flammable and i think same goes for oxygen so firetime27 stick it up your ass dude and your such a vibe killer damn dude get the fuck off this site your like depressing everyone

oxygen is highly flamable....ever notice the sticker on the oxygen trucks? it says highly flamable......everything is flamable.....just your definition of flamable is that it bursts into flame when in contact with fire.....typically if it bursts into flame, it is incomplete combustion, and it will be unlikely to burn at temps as high as it could....ever notice that when you put out a candle, smoke comes off of it, but when it was burning, no smoke? the smoke is carbon (or atleast a carbon based thingy....it really depends on what you are burning), and it is released because there is not enough oxygen to support complete combustion, so it is left over......

Yes. Any gas is flammable. Go light the air with your lighter. DON'T GET HURT NOW! :roll:

[firetime27]

well lets see last i heard when things burn they are combining oxygen. oxygen combines with alot of substances exothermically. I have pure oxygen bottles the oxygen doesnt burn. clark your an idiot you know nothing. The only other thing used as an oxidising agent is chlorine gas. Oxygen combines with a fuel creating an exothermic reaction. When you stick a match by propane the heat acts as a catalyst speeding up the reaction resulting in an exothermic reaction. When you heat a solid it turns to liquid heat it more and it turns to gas heat it more and it gains enough energy to combine with oxygen. If what you are saying is true then O2 will combine with more O2 creating enough energy to substane itself. Not gonna happen. Although with a highvoltage of DC current passing through the air O3 or ozone is created. All gases dont burn many gases such as helium, carbon dioxide,oxygen do not react exothermically with oxygen or chlorine.


I have an experiment for you all: take manganese dioxide from a battery add that to hydrogen peroxide it will fizzle. do the reaction in a glass flask,bottle, w.e. The resulting gas is pure oxygen. take a burning stick and put it in the vessle with the oxygen. Does the oxygen explode? No the stick burns with a very bright flame that is very hot.

hey i know your trying to be sarcastic but the reason why air isn't flammable is because air consist of humidity (thats water).

[firetime27]

not to mention the nitrogen

perhaps everything doesnt combust with oxygen, but we do not know that at some point it wont...anything under the right pressure and heat will combine with surrounding elements, altho some things peculiarly require less pressure to combine and will only combine at lower pressures.....

meh, thats all i have to say....

[firetime27]

bottom line i was right oxygen isnt flammable its an oxidizing agent.

yes, but then why are oxygen tanks marked flammable? cuz they are a key component in fire, and an extre***y common oxidant, and will oxidize almost everything........actually, you are perfectly right aboot Cl2 working too, i just remembered that from learning redox (reduction, oxydation) last year

wow...how everything i learned last year comes back at the end of this year i will never know....i cant remember this year till the end of next year, last year till the end of this year, et cetera....its annoying me...

wow...i dont even know what i just typed (for the most part), so time to just submit it as is....

[firetime27]

oxygen bottles arnt marked flammable they are marked oxidiser with i believe a green or white flame. The bottle says will increase burning rate and spreading of fire.

[G-O-Double-D]

mmmmhmmm...damn the movies...they told me flammable...i believed them...bastards.....(i dont own any oxygen bottles, and i now assume the truck that goes past my house is some other flammable gas, possibly ethane...now i want to rob it....)

[firetime27]

yeah it says flammable cause it carries other bottles. usually oxygen bottles are a light green color they are highly pressurized up to and exceeding 3000 psi

no no...you ever seen one of those gas trucks that are just one big truck, no bottles, same thing they use for milk...its one of them, i have seen it many times, and it has the flammable gas sticker on the side, and it comes from an oxygen refinery...i assumed it was oxygen, now i assume it isnt.....how confuzzling....

[firetime27]

its deffinetly somthing like petroleum.

[G-O-Double-D]

its deffinetly somthing like petroleum.

probably..i am gonna blow it up if it ever goes down the other street...(people i dont particularly like live on that street, and i dont think they would find whatever i decide to blow it up with....

[faleken]

hey. i didn't read the whole thread, so sorry if someone already pointed this out.

So you guys know that fire can't burn without oxygen right? All the air around us doesn't explode when we light a match because the match only needs a certain amount of oxygen to burn. When the oxygen is escaping very rapidly, that means that it will burn, because of all the escaping pressure. I THINK though am not sure, that the amount of oxygen that explodes is relative to the amount of fuel that is being burnt. By fuel, i mean like, wood, or whatever you're burning, so maybe have something in front of the pressure escape point, already burning?

You do know that the last time anyone posted in this thread was two years ago, right? That means this thread is very, very dead. Do not post in dead threads.
