Haha I like that comparison. It stands for hydrogen-hydrogen-oxygen and is a colloquial term for oxyhydrogen gas. I agree though, I'ma call it WOOOOOO gas from now on in my everyday life. Not to be confused with laughing gas that is @ Vanadium 50 Oh I love the analogy, but yes you're correct...

No, this isn't a homework question. I'm genuinely curious; If I were to magically teleport and happenstance with a shovel and survive the harsh climate, could I use said shovel? Maybe hand drills? I would assume the shovel would be a class one lever, and thus the moon's lower gravity would...

Oh yeah totally mate, I just use HHO because that's the most available and cleanest combustion I can get my hands on at the moment. Would love to experiment with some dirtier fuels, but I don't trust my wallet to do that just quite yet. Plus some key advantages, like having an oxidizer at the...

Ah, my apologies for that mate. Honestly, I am currently thinking of using the H2 and O2 gases in a miniature rocket. Not entirely sure how to go about it to be honest, and it would be pretty nice if there were some suggestions relating to rocketry. All suggestions relating to combustion would...

Yep yep, Basically, it's electrolysis of water. When the molecule separates, it forms H2 and O2 gas, which can then be burned for propulsion. Also I just realized a tad mistake in the post. HHO doesn't really exist in chemistry, but it's usually referred to H2 and O2 gases mix. My apologies for...

Ah, maybe my intuition is a tad off, but gravity in simplified classical physics is: Assuming we're going as deep sea as possible (Mariana Trench is about ~7 miles) and the Earth is ~3950 miles, the two masses (mass one at sea level and mass two at ~7 miles lowered) are going to have roughly...

Ah, I would assume the one with the plastic end (no hole) would break first; until the combusted gas molecules hit the plastic walls, air resistance becomes the key player in the flame front velocities. Assuming the caps are infinitesimally small, meaning any applied chamber force could break...

Hey all, Lime here. I've been getting into HHO for a while, and I think I almost have my DIY generator up and running (waiting on eBay 18650 batteries). I was thinking a fun little project is to play around with a few concepts with my new found combustion source. Anybody here know a good way to...

Hey all, So if a gas is combusted, would it travel faster through a vacuum tube or a regular ole' tube? I would assume the vacuum tube, as there are less particulates collisions in the way of the fast-moving gas molecules. Yet this also implies pressure on the outside of the thin barrier _ 2...

https://physics.csuchico.edu/~eayars/publications/AJP00961.pdf http://www.phys.utk.edu/demoroom/MECH/The%20Vacuum%20Canon.pdfSo I get the outside atmosphere is what provides air density and such in the pdf above^. However, why is it that most cannon demonstrations use just the air from the...

If a combustible gas mixture (say O2 and H2 are combusted to form H2O) are already moving before combustion, what would happen? Intuition tells me the previous velocity (say the gas was moving 150 feet per second) would just add to the velocity achieved when standing still and then combusted...

Thank you very much! I didn't think about it that way

Thank you very much!

Ah apologies my friend for going outside your question, but from my also non-engineering standpoint (I just come here for some physics fun), I propose this instead: If the fabric belt is compressible, and assuming it springs back to normal shape after compression, what if you have several...

Ah that's cool! I didn't think about that. I know I posted this question in classical physics, but can you elaborate / point to resources of looking at rest mass and momentum with relativity? (See quoted)
