I borrowed some oxygen 1,2,& 3 from school. Its called dissolved oxygen.
The O1, & O2 are in packets, & the O3 is in a little powder pillow so to speak. Its all a white powder. If any of you could tell me possibly what this is, I would appreciate it. I have a pic if you would like to see it. (this message is not of great importance so it will soon be deleted to save space)

I am not sure, but the O2 could be potassium nitrite and the O3 could be potassium nitrate. Have you mixed it with any sugar to see if it smokes?

im pretty sure i can get my hands on a good deal of liquid oxygen. what can i do with this. explosive possibilities. suggestions. if i cant do anything with it i can always breathe underwater

I have always wanted to try this, but mix it with some gasoline in a 1/1 ratio by weight and see if it explodes.

just a little haeds up on the under water breathing thing AzUrE BLuE mentioned.

you actually can die from breathing in pure oxygen so do not do that.

and i doubt that gas and oxy would explode it would just make a very big fire ball/flame.

Liquid oxygen will explode without the addition of any other chemicals.

And breathing pure O2 will make you extremely lightheaded, and will likely put you out. Not a good idea underwater. Remember that our atmosphere is only 21% oxygen.

I have heard that soaking a charcoal briquette in liquid oxygen gives a pretty big explosion. Also, you could always just light your charcoal grill really fast like George Goble.

If you put the oxy and gas mixture in a waterproof cardboard container, it would probably explode.

Hes kind of stupid"one charcoal soaked in oxygen is equal to 1 stick of dynamite"

People always say its equal to a stick off dianamite, read the parodys on rats site.

Liquid Oxygen (LOX) can be used for explosives. The thermos (aka Dewar Flask) was invented to to hold the LOX for use in explosives.

Search for "LOX explosives" and "Sprengel explosives"

There might also be something on E&W but I don't remember any threads on it.

I guess he hasn't researched anything on explosives. Jeez, look at the guy, he sure doesn't look like a mental giant.
