n2 lethal?

[DeerChaser]

A room of 100% N2 WILL kill you before you finish one breath. Your N2 tank doesn't have enough to fill the room.

cant you get high off nitrogen, or was that some other type of gas. ive heard of parties that sell "party balloons", which are filled with some sort of gas that gets you high...

[DeerChaser]

NOS

If you think liquid co2 is cool, try liquid helium.

NO! HOW DARE YOU!? It is NOT called NOS. THAT IS A BRAND OF NITROUS SYSTEMS. HELL I DON'T EVEN THINK IT'S CALLED NOS ANYMORE!

Nitrous oxide is the gas, NOS is "NITROUS OXIDE SYSTEMS"! GET IT STRAIGHT YOU RICE BURNER IDIOT! DIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIE

Actually there is a way to die from N2... but ya paintball tank isnt going to do it.

The human body will breathe Nitrogen as though its O2 and will eventually pass out over a long time. Your lungs will eventually fill up with water and it will apear you drown to death.

All in all its not a painfull way to go.

*scratches head*

how is that not a paintful way to die?

[cphilip]

Air is almost 21% Oxygen (most times).... most of the rest Nitrogen almost 78%. The 1 point something percent left is rare gasses (argon etc...) and CO2. Something around that...

Pure nitrogen would indeed be an Asphixiant gas but it would indeed have to displace enough Air in the room to get it below safe breathing percentage of Oxygen. Thats below like 17% and then on down much less. Anything below 19% is considered "bad air" but most likely will not kill ya fast. Its like high altitude stuff. But your not going to do that with your paintball tank in your room.... And your not likely to have pure Nitrogen in your paintball tank. Most people are not buying pure Nitrogen gas for fills. Its a bit more expensive to buy and use. It works fine though. But its just not likely you even had it in there. You more than likely had High Pressure air.

guess i'm not gonna die then

[edweird]

yeah phil cleared up my incoherent "I gotta type fast and get to the bathroom explanation" there.

basicly your body will not know any diffrent that its not getting any o2 and you will start feeling sleepy and eventually pass out. No pain involved but it would require LOTS of pure n2 and LOTS of time in a room that could be purged of standard air with ease

In other words not bloody likley... especially with your HPA tank

[shades]

When you emptied your tank, if you did not start laughing without cause you proably just had high pressure air in your tank. Plus, you should keep alittle pressure in your tank to prevent moisture getting in.

No, he'S an idiot...

Snyper, can you do us a favor and quit posting stupid crap like this? If you wanna take up space for pointless threads, do it in the friendly corner, this is not the 'I got my something stuck somewhere' or 'i know nothing about chemistry' forum.

calm down man, its just a car ad-on. Thats it. yes some people dont uderstand its just a company, but dont let it get your beef(or tofu if your a vegitarian)

[nt2004]

actually i read something about a new form of Capital Punishment that hasnt been used yet. It's like a gas chamber, but they siphon out the air and replace it with pure nitrogen. Eventually the person passes out and suffocates painlessly. You'd have to have all nitrogen in your room and no oxygen for it to even harm you though
