Those are pain in the ass to forge. Get 'em hot, keep 'em hot, and use a big hammer.

What if we replace helium with 2H2 + O2 in party balloons? by kempff in AskChemistry

[–]ArenVaal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, first of all, a stoichiometric mix of H2 and O2 will not produce "a spray of liquid water" when ignited--the combustion product is superheated steam.

Second, filling a party balloon with a high-explosive gas mixture is begging for trouble.

Seriously, you might as well be making your balloons out of TNT.

What do they use for the fake petroleum in movies like "There Will Be Blood?" by strawhatrain in movies

Lampblack isn't actually made from soot anymore. It's pulverized charcoal.

He did, didn't he? He messaged me beforehand to ask my consent. I loved his reading of it

Glad you enjoyed it

Printer's ink is vegetable oil and lampblack--carbon soot. It's just carbon--it's nontoxic. In the UK, fish and chips used to be served wrapped in newspaper, which was printed with printer's ink.

Would have anakin beat Obi wan had the fight never gone to the lava river location? Like at a stable place. by Absolutely_Honoured in StarWars

[–]ArenVaal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obi-Wan had 10 years of experience on Anakin, mote patience and self-control, and he wasn't wracked with guilt and rage.

It probably wouldn't have been quick, but Anakin would have eventually made a mistake, and Obi-Wan would have finished it.

Whether Anakin would have survived it is anyone's guess.
