I've been listening to that song repeatedly recently. I've got the whole Orange Box soundtrack on my computer - it's hard to overstate my satisfaction with it.The title would be a note on the lines of "HUGE SUCCESS!"*Heck, I want to see you start one of your showcase threads with the line "This was a triumph".
You know, there would have been a better response there... But there's no sense crying over every mistake.

The downside to a H2/O2 mix is that it doesn't actually provide much of a pressure improvement over a straight Propane/Air mix.jackssmirkingrevenge wrote:on the plus side, you'd also be getting hydrogen
The epoxy must have conserved his physical body and replaced/fixed all neurotransmitters with binary adhesive bonds, forcing the body to stay alive... for ever.OMG!! He's an actual zombie..he came back to life after some epoxy experiment turned ugly!! Wink
The good old water + electricity trick. I'd recommend stainless steel electrodes and NaOH (drain cleaner) as electrolyte. Carbon electrodes will break up and make the whole water black. Platinum would be better, but hey, if you have the money for that, just buy H2 and O2 cylinders.JSR wrote:I might have a play with electrolysis soon, should't be too hard to set up something like this:

Are you suggesting that I will live on forever in an epoxy exoskeletonin a similar manner to Stephen Hawking?psycix wrote:That is not him... it is the epoxy speaking. He has no soul!
Thanks, it's hard to overstate my satisfaction see what I did thereNice video's, the camera is totally worth its price.
Next time try to film under indescant lights though, the fluorescent lightning flickers.
with the camera! I'm still getting to grips with it so I expect quality will get better, I already started using a halogen lamp and will buy some floodlights as suggested in the high speed thread.I work in a laboratory that serves a pharmaceutical plant, I have 99% pure NaOH in here and a pallet of 25Kg bags in the plant, I don't think drain cleaner will be necessaryI'd recommend stainless steel electrodes and NaOH (drain cleaner) as electrolyte.
Again I handle chromium waste fairly regularly on account of some of the water quality testing we do so no worries there.Be mindful that when you use stainless steel, you'll probably end up with chromium compounds in the water.

The first point is of little relevance in a chamber this size and with this kind of ratio.psycix wrote:But [H2/O2] burns faster and gives better reaction products (H2O instead of H2O + CO2).
I do indeed see what you did therejackssmirkingrevenge wrote:Thanks, it's hard to overstate my satisfaction see what I did there
You're probably correct there, based on the (very minimal) testing that I did with a hydrogen/oxy mix obtained via electrolysis. The only differences seemed to be an orange flame rather than blue (due to sodium in my electrolyte), and a much louder BANG when fired with no projectile or burst diskRagnarok wrote: I wouldn't put any money at all on the hydrogen/oxygen mix being better than the propane/air mix.
We've found that halogen lights aren't as susceptible to the 50 or 60 hrtz flickering, and not only that, they're bright as hell. Perfect for shooting with a exilem.psycix wrote: Next time try to film under indescant lights though, the fluorescent lightning flickers.
