  As a dumbass kid, I lit my grandmas oxygen tube on fire. It was wild; oxidizers are no joke.

    “wild” is certainly one way to describe it

      It wasn’t that bad. It was more like a 40 foot long, angry firework fuse. I was able to eventually stomp it out before my childhood took a drastic turn for the worse. It was one of the things that piqued my interest in physics/chemistry.

        If the flame reached the tank, there wouldn’t have been an immediate explosion, no fuel, but the oxygen getting everywhere could have gotten your house much closer to burnt down.

    I’d love to know what you are actually trying to achieve.

      I was a smart stupid kid, and a bit of a pyro. I had figured out putting oxygen on a fire made it bigger but I didn’t have a concept of an oxidizer, I thought it was a fuel like propane/butane. So I cranked up the oxygen bottle and put a lighter to the end of the tube thinking it would make a little blow torch. It did, but not in the way I was expecting.

  Oxygen isn’t flammable.

  It just helps other things become ashes faster.

    Good point.

    Gonna blaze up next to an oxygen tank now.

  Meh. Not enough fuel to O2 to cause any real issue even if the tank was purging for hours in a mostly closed space.

    Inside the tank maybe. Outside the tank almost certainly.
