Anyone else google it? :clap:

Thanks Doc, anyone know where I can pick up some liquid oxygen?

[rkjunior303]

looks like fun!

[etjoyride]

I was actually about to google it when i saw this post, i'll be right back....

google results:
If charcoal is PRESOAKED in LOX first, an explosion will result


check out this site to see what it does http://www.doeblitz.net/ghg/morebbq/index.html
:rofl:

[Jaan]

"...in the 40's, they used LOX-soaked charcoal for blasting." :D

[White_Noise]

hmm...barbacue ready in 3 seconds, i might have to see about trying it.

[SteelSoul]

I did, I just saw the strip and then googled it, and then came here to see if there was a post about it and sure enough.

LOL

I love the Whiteboard.
:headbang:

[cyrus-the-virus]

"One briquette presoaked in LOX is approx equiv to 1 stick of dynamite."

hmmmmm....... :nono:

[PumpPlayer]

Yeah, I Googled it.

I was mostly curious about what would actually pop up and if it was some sort of funny result. The pictures of the LOX-ecue lighting were pretty good, though!

[SR_matt]

hmmmm, nice, very very nice



now whos gona get the oxy propane gril for the burger ready in 3 seconds ;)

[slateman]

I did :D :D :D :clap:

[don miguel]

that stuff looks fun!!!!!! is it legal to own (I didn't read the web page, just looked at images).

[buzzboy]

I figured I wasn't the only one to google it. Funny stuff that Doc. :D

[master_alexander]

heh... i actually already knew what it ment. that stuff is pretty cool to see.

/uncle is a scienist

[zackzel]

So where does one get this LOX, not that I would actually try anything stupid :D

[FiXeL]

I didnt google on it, but BBQ + LOX cant mean anything good when docs using it.. That one was great! :rofl:

For you, no :)

[psychowarden]

Guilty, right as I read it I opened up another window and googled it.

I see missing digits in the near future for some of our fellow maggers :argh:

digits tend to be small..... :eek: Im not so shure you should be attracting any unnecessary attention to the situation!

Guilty...

no comment...

There will be atleast two people that try this. One will make the news.

The other will try harder next time.

[Temo Vryce]

I looked it up yesterday while at work. I hope I still have a job today. :confused:

[pennywise]

LOX is nothing to mess around with. They use it for the environmental systems (A/C, emergency oxygen) on military aircraft. I've seen enough of what it can do the personal protective equipment that the maintenance guys are using to service it with--god forbid it should ever touch bare skin. :eek:

Also, LOX + oil = BAD.

[Shockwave.]

Its funny because its true! I hope they dont get a hold of this on PBN :rolleyes:

[Pneumagger]

Yeah, liquid Oxygen is among the collest stuff ever

anyone here ever mess with a cryogenic paramagnetic material? LOX FTW!!!

[buzzboy]

Well, I asked my Chem teacher today and he said that anything soked in Liquid Oxy will do more than just explode. He said something to the effect of utter annihilation. w00t. Lets try it. :D

[Lenny]

God (dang) you guys! The more you say it's bad, the more I want to try it!

And what about all those reasons you used to prove it was bad? Well, they're the reasons I want to try it! It explodes. Yup. It annihilates. Yup. It's deadly. Yeah. That's exactly why I want to try it.

Well, I already have charcoal and some matches. I think I have some fuse around here... Anyone wanna make some mailboxes go boom? Just come to my place and bring some LOX. :p

Oh, and does anyone have a copy of "The Anarchist Cookbook" or "The Poor-Man's James Bond" they'd be willing to sell? I'm feeling like a bit of a destructivist. :argh:

/I'm being serious :cool:

[Pneumagger]

I'm ordering more Argon and Liquid N2 today for experiments. I am so tempted to throw LOX on the list. A low pressure 180 liter dewar (the bulk LOX tank) is only $40. Not like I'm paying for it. :D I think my boss might ask me WTF i was doing though... with the carcoal and matchs in the office.

BTW... if any of you are wondering, AIRgas from Akron fills our nitrogen 80CF tanks (scubas) for only $20. I feel ripped off @ $5 per fill @ my paintball shop now.

[etjoyride]

^ pneumagger where do you work where you can order liquid oxygen? I would love to get some (along with nitroglycerin and some other items :p ) but from wha ti can tell i would either have to have some sort of permit or get them illegally, neither of which i could do. Also, i doubt my mom would be happy with me blowing up even more powerful substance, my limit is gunpowder right now and she isn't very happy about that

we pay $10 for all day nitro. i thought that was pretty standard

[Pneumagger]

Lockheed Martin.

Even if I ordered it... I'd never get it out the door. The dewar is bigger than me. It's not like LOX can go in ur pocket either.

MAKE YOUR OWN LOX:
Liquid Nitrogen is colder than LOX! I don't believe you need a liscense for LN2 due to it's inert nature. So you could concievably create a LOX condenser by condesing a source of pure O2 through coils submerged in LN2. It will create less LOX than LN2 consumed due to insulation inefficiency and LOX having a higher Latent Heat of Vaporization.
... but I digress

^^^^I have got agree. Oxygen is a corosive element in concentration and it is used as rocket fuel. I can imagine the chemical reaction of polar lipids being beaten by a huge amount of lox and the metabolic rate of the tissues dropping and the enzymes requiring for act. energy and eeeeeeewww...
in other words :eek:

[SR_matt]

hmmmmmm think of all the indian tacos and buffalo burgers you can have in under 1 min
-matt

[labmaster]

it is used as rocket fuel.

Yep, got that right. In fact, it is one of the two fuel components for the shuttle's main engine. There is a quasi-joke here at KSC (not told in the presence of the astronauts) that they are sitting on the worlds biggest bomb.

[spaz66777]

I did it.

[SpitFire1299]

I did too actually, lol. :)
