So, how many googled "LOX" charcoal, barbecue (The Whiteboard)

[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. 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.

^ pneumagger where do you work where you can order liquid oxygen? I would love to get some (along with nitroglycerin and some other items ) 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

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

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.

^^^^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...

[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.
