Okay, my bad. Thought they were. No need to be so rude peerzy, I haven't even taken chemistry yet. Must of been thinking of something else. I'm just going to shut up now.
And BTW its Peerzyboy say it with me P-E-E-R-Z-Y-B-O-Y, retard
I guess that's a bit nicer... Please forgive my stupidity... One question, why do the fire extinguishers always blow up when you shot them in every game?
You dont need a PhD in chemistry to know thatOriginally posted by DWells55@13 April 2004 - 13:19
I haven't even taken chemistry yetit's common sense really

I would have though it would have been common sense that carbon dioxide was not flammable if it was used in fire extinguishers.
Anyway...
On a given day or given circumstance, you think you have a limit.
And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit and you think "Ok, this is the limit".
As soon as you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further.
With your mind power, your determination, your instinct and the experience as well, you can fly very high.

Not in the games I've played... And I didn't know they were used in fire extinguishers...
If you threw a CO2 canister into a fire it would heat up, the gas would expand significantly, and the canister would explode from excess pressure. CO2 pressure is very sensitive to temperature, thats why some paintball players will use compressed air or nitrogen, because its less sensitive to temperature than CO2.
A pressure explosion does not need to involve materials that are flammable.
Basically if you take any potential energy source and release that potential energy all at once you get an explosive effect so that goes for the energy locked up in the atom, or energy that can be released by combustion (the most common use of the term) or energy that can be released by a valve like compressed air or CO2. So when your fire extinguisher explodes from being shot, its because you are releasing pressurized contents all at once (blowing a hole in the side of it) rather than using the nozzle which meters the pressure and the contents for maximum effectiveness.
There's no 'I' in 'team'. But then there's no 'I' in 'useless smug colleague', either.
And there's four in 'platitude-quoting idiot'. Go figure.
Can you give me your definition of "explode" please?Originally posted by DWells55@13 April 2004 - 21:28

Thre we go, that's what I was thinking of. I was mixing up the pressure with the material itself. By eplode, I mean make loud noise, and fire... Like in The World is Not Enough for N64 (only mentioned that game because I was playing it 5 minutes ago)....Originally posted by Canti@13 April 2004 - 17:29

You do know that games are totally different from real life?Originally posted by DWells55@13 April 2004 - 21:43

Shoot a carbon dioxide canister in real life and it will not go on fire. It will release its contents quickly, but it will not go "kaboom!"
If you say that an explosion is any action which leads to a large increase in local pressure in a short period of time, then a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher which is shot could be considered an explosion. However, the carbon dioxide is not exploding, nor is it being burnt. It's solely escaping from an area of high pressure to an area of relatively lower pressure.
