blazeingstar Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 A virtual pressure cooker. I don't think that it is, unless Tab gets drunk, FP gets angsty, MiKolbe gets irratated, hassan gets wing nut so on and so forth....we were getting that way last week.... Pressure has been relieved becuase DuST brought out the ban hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blazeingstar Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I might have to try that sometime...Id be too scared it would blow up in my face and Id die. Most people don't typically stand over pressure cookers whilst they are working. My aunt had one blow a lid once, but all it did was mar the ceiling. Had she been standing over it, then she may have been hurt. But again, most people don't stand over pressure cookers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatherineM Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 They're safe as long as they don't contain pipe bombs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 If you are careful about the seal then pressure cookers are perfectly safe. :proud: HOWEVER, if you were to mess with the seal and pressure valves such that pressure keeps building, then were to fill the pressure cooker with oxygen and fluorine, THEN you are in big trouble. Fill the cooker with oxygen up to 5 PSI, then pump in fluorine until it starts escaping through the safety valve. Put the vessel over an open flame until it reaches 700°C (That’s °C, not °F. Yes, this will probably set off the smoke alarm.) Now, pump the hot gas over a liquid-oxygen-cooled stainless steel surface. The procedure here is a little tricky, but if you do things right, the gas will condense into dioxygen difluoride (O2F2). And that stuff is awful. Ray Bradbury taught us that paper burns when exposed to oxygen at temperatures above 451°F. Dioxygen difluoride is so volatile that it makes almost any organic substance ignite and explode at any temperature hotter than 300°F below zero. It can literally make ice catch fire. In an article about O2F2, Chemistry blogger Derek Lowe (of the excellent In The Pipeline) used phrases like “violently hideousâ€, “deeply alarmingâ€, and “chemicals that I never hope to encounterâ€. Another article refers to fluorine as “the gas of Luciferâ€, and lists chemists who were poisoned or blown up while attempting to work with it. If your house is heated by natural gas, and it happens to contain hydrogen sulfide, you could pipe some of it into your container of O2F2. In addition to a massive explosion, this will also produce a cloud of hydrogen fluoride gas. Hydrogen fluoride can dissolve human tissue on contact, starting with your lungs and corneas. http://what-if.xkcd.com/40/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you buy one at the same time as you order ball bearings. Then the FBI will show up at your house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
