Norbie Forums Junkie Location: Brisbane Registered: May 2002	Re: A really stupid idea, but hear me out... Thu, 03 October 2002 04:24 Pure oxygen is not explosive, but it is a very powerful oxidising agent - that's what makes it so dangerous. Almost anything will burn in the presence of pure oxygen, even certain metals. I'm pretty sure any engine running on pure oxygen, or even a very oxygen-rich mixture, would simply melt. Mind you, it would probably cause all sorts of mayhem before it even got to the combustion chambers, eg the slightest whiff of oil vapour in the inlet system will explode, and the fuel from the injectors will ignite as soon as it leaves the injector nozzles! Oxygen does some pretty funky stuff, which is why you see all sorts of warning labels on an oxygen cylinder. There's no way I'd let pure O2 anywhere near my engine bay - a far safer way to acheive much the same result is nitrous oxide, which actually breaks down into O2 during the compression stroke of the engine. Nitrous oxide itself is a pretty inert gas so it's quite safe (ignoring the fact that it's stored at extremely high pressures). GIN51E: the hydrogen content of the atmosphere is extremely small, which is a good thing otherwise the atmosphere would be highly explosive! The oxygen content is also quite small, less than 10% by mass IIRC. The majority of the atmosphere is composed of inert nitrogen. [Report message to a moderator]
