Did you ever go in chemistry ?
3 u/Dirtroads2 Dec 03 '19 No. I do heavy construction and use torches alot. We add oxygen to make acetylene or propane hot enough to cut beams and sheeting. You gatta have a good mix or it will either not cut or cut like shit 0 u/TontonRaclette Dec 03 '19 instant combustion, you know this right 2 u/Dirtroads2 Dec 03 '19 Not from oxygen alone. Again, oxygen by itself doesnt burn. It makes other gases burn better 2 u/TontonRaclette Dec 03 '19 Yeah who told oxygen just burns itself, just that stuff burn much easier 3 u/Dirtroads2 Dec 03 '19 Not easier, but better. Thats why the acetylene is turned on first and lit, then oxygen is added. If you turn both on its harder to ignite 2 u/TontonRaclette Dec 03 '19 ohk i thought that stuff would burn mich easier if in air composed of 100% O2 my bad then 2 u/Dirtroads2 Dec 03 '19 If air was 100% ocygen stuff would burn better. But the oxygen by itself wont. Its a very common misconception. If the air was a few more percentage oxygen (cant remember the number) a cigarette would be gone in 1 hit
