While reading about Nitroglycerin a number of time I've read that it used to be frozen for transport but upon thawing it would detonate. What causes this to happen? It it expansion of the liquid as it heats up creating pressure? I have absolutely no intention or would ever consider...
What I was building is a pulse furnace where a large amount of fuel is injected in an extremely short time into a small superheated space along with air to melt sand into glass and melt other normally non meltable things like rocks and crystals.
Alrighty then gasoline is off the list. Are there any other flammable liquids that would be aerosolized easily or should I just completely abandon this idea and add it to the very end of my bucket list
What I'm planning exactly is filling a fire extinguisher about 3/4 full of gasoline and pressurizing it with air from a bicycle pump. The extinguisher has been pressure tested recently to 500 psi and is fine. Since I will be using air as the propellant there is going to be oxygen present as well...
By blow up my house I meant while pressurizing it, it's not going to be stored pressurized for more than 30 minutes max, and don't worry, I keep my gas outside in a shed anyway
At what pressure will regular gasoline spontaneously explode/ignite? Would it be safe to pressurize it to 100 PSI in a tank or would I blow up my house?
I sure hope the cap isn't falling apart inside. I'm probably going to call G.E. tomorrow but in the mean time I've brought the cap back inside to see if the capacitance will go back up. Hopefully it will or otherwise I've got even more problems. I'm wondering if maybe the dielectric inside is...
Hey everyone, so I just bought a used GE Dielektrol capacitor rated at 40,000 volts and 1.85 microfarads, and while I'm charging it up there is a popping sound that appears to be coming from inside the capacitor. It only occurs at voltages over about 2000 volts and only while the capacitor is...
Hello everyone, I have a few microwave caps rated at 2100 Volts AC and was wondering about their DC rating. I've heard that the DC rating of AC caps is usually 3-5 times the AC rating which seems to make sense but I'm not absolutely sure... If someone could please confirm or deny this I'd be...
