Trick question since you are feeding <air> from the tank ...unH nothing

 

Your car wouldnt run!! Helium is non flammable! Thats why it has replaced hydrogen in blimps

 

Ding Ding Ding

 

what if..... you car was on fire, your trapped inside after drinking 15 shots of tequila, 20 beers, 16 magaritas and 20 long island iced teas (bare with me.. i know thats impossible) and the driver had zero alcohol in his system... are you more flammable?

I say that now when im drunk "im not wasted.. im fackin flammable brotha!"

 

Not noticiebly

 

I'll stay out of the thread then

 

yah its not bad for the springs they are durable it doesnt hurt them at all unless you dont have those 2 small peices holding them so they wont hurt the valve stim other than that they r fine

 

haha i want you to answer my most recent question... thats a stumper! lol

 

Well then to answer..

Since you said he has 0 alcohol in his system that means that the liver has converted the ethanol into acetaldehyde which is actually pretty flamable. The liver would then oxidize that into acetic acid which is part of the citric cycle for energy production in the body. There is a saturation point where the alcohol can not be converted and passes through the blood stream which is where i will draw my conclusions. I still doubt even with all that drinking the blood alcohol would be even above 2% you die btw above 0.4% well at least 50% of people do.

Acetaldehyde has pretty interesting properties but to actually be flammable it would need to pass through the skin barrier and the most likely source for that would be lungs. Air mixture dilutions as low as 4% could cause ignition but unfortunately the co2 we produce as we exhale would be more than enough to snuff that possibility out. Soon as the vapor hit the air it would disperse in concentrations too low to be ignited.

 

Thanks RoadSpike, I never heard about that elasticity thing.. good to know

 

You know you want to ask him about the chicken or the egg........
I cant wait to hear that one!

 

roadspike.. what are you? a mad scientist? .. or how about Bill Nye the Science Guy! LOL

 

bill nye is his brother.

 

I did do extremely well in science hmm...

Maybe that was because I loved learning how things react so I could blow them up
