A high school student first did this in 1978 - 1979. He won the physics division at the International Science and Engineering Fair in San Antonio, Texas in 1979. I think he got 3rd overall. He did it for both propane and natural gas. Jearl Walker wrote about it in his Amateur Scientist feature in Scientific American in October or November of 1979. If I remember correctly it was an issue that had a dung beetle on the cover. He called it "Flame Propagation in a Reversed Atmosphere."

And then there’s the implication that there could be life on a methane planet that stores energy as an oxidizing agent, rather than a reducing agent as our food is. Edit: If anyone has any ideas for what might take the place of carbohydrates or lipids in a reducing environment, let’s talk.

Creatures on Titan or some such then could use methane and maybe some other chemical like hydrogen sulfide and use them for hydrolysis on water to make oxygen
@tylerpeterson4726
@tylerpeterson4726 6 лет назад
Are we talking about adapting life from Earth to live on Titan or life that started out on Titan? If life is starting out on Titan, I see no reason why they would need to generate oxygen. Just react the methane and H2S together. You can break a lot of conventions if you can ignore the history of life on Earth. If it is life that started on Earth and moved to Titan, then that might work.

Both substrate molecules and sources of energy are needed for Life. For energy, peroxides and superoxides spring immediately to mind, but Florine and other halogens would also make for some reactions that might be useful. There can be some low-energy reactions by re-arranging simple and complex hydrocarbons, even in the absence or light. However, to make the variety of reactions which Life seems to enjoy, I'm thinking more of Sulfur and Phosphorous.

@NSEasternShoreChemist 6 лет назад
Nope. I was completely relaxed watching the entire video. Never expected an explosion because the air is only 21% O2, and the pressure in there is only ~510 mmHg of propane. The explosive limits of propane are 2.37-9.35% in air, so Cody would've had to let in a massive amount of air to even have a chance of a detonation. Of course, seeing the results of that would have been kind of fun... as when in doubt, more C-4!

No, actually it's not. See my comments above. This isn't science, and it isn't interesting. It's stupid. It reminds me of stunts done by Grant Thompson, "The King of random". Occasionally he does something with merit, but more often than not it's like this. "Jeez, I wonder what would happen if I put 10,000 volts across a beaker of mercury with a Tide laundry pod suspended in it." This "burning oxygen" is about on that level. A quick dry lab, a thought experiment would tell you that the idea is crap.
@Hawk013
@Hawk013 6 лет назад
The propane flame was likely flickering because the regulator does not put out a steady, consistent pressure. The friction of the mechanical system causes a slip-stick condition, which in turn causes rapid opening and closing of the valve opening to attempt to balance out the downstream side pressure vs the diaphragm pressure. This may be instead of or in addition to valve movement due to flex in the system, nothing is ever what we would call a rigid assembly. You end up getting a barely noticeable pulsing in most instances, which is much more noticable under low pressure/low flow situations.

I'm not surprised that air injected into the propane would not burn. Experimenting with potato canons, if the mixture is too propane rich, it just won't light. A bit of air injected into straight propane would be a very rich mixture!
@TheSpyFishMan
@TheSpyFishMan 6 лет назад
But wouldn't you expect there to be a gradient from lean to rich from the tube of compressed air to the propane? Just like if you had a regular atmosphere and injected fuel, the gradient starts at the nozzle to be very rich, and tails off to lean in the atmosphere. Maybe the problem is that there isn't a perfect gradient. The two substances just don't mix together fine enough to get them to react at a large scale, and by the time they mix together well, the ratio is all off
@WILFRED1184
@WILFRED1184 6 лет назад
Matthias Wandel That would be true if he was trying to burn all of the propane at once. But since he was only trying to get a flame it would work just like a torch and slowly consume the propane. Just like if it was full of oxygen and he was trying to burn the propane it would slowly consune the oxygen and burn as a flame without the explosion. Btw a spud gun needs extremely rapid oxidation of the fuel (explosion) to work. Which is why you want a good air:fuel ratio. Too much in either direction and it won't work. I would say that a good ratio to start at would be around 13:1.
@WILFRED1184
@WILFRED1184 6 лет назад
TheSpyFishMan thats a good point. Maybe if Cody moves the spark a bit further away from the tube it might ignite. Not sure though because the pure oxygen lit fine. So maybe oxygen in the compressed air is too diluted to sustain a flame. Maybe higher pressure would provide enough to get ignition but he would have to put a diffuser in there or the pressure would blow the flame out.
@WILFRED1184
@WILFRED1184 6 лет назад
TheSpyFishMan also propane is heavier than air so it could be that since the propane is all at the bottom of the tank it is drowning out what little oxygen there is in the compressed air. Or it could be forcing it upwards too fast to get good mixture.
@TheSpyFishMan
@TheSpyFishMan 6 лет назад
I think if he added a mixing nozzle to the end of the tube that mixed the propane and air together really well, like you have on the end of most blow torches, he might get it to light. That would eliminate at least one variable and so he could focus on the ratio of air to fuel and not worry about the amount of mixing that is happening.

For sound generation to differ due to the gas used you need a sound source that involves the gas itself, like a whistle, not a large piece of metal, which will vibrate just the same.
@qualynforeman6747

I think it would also be interesting to reverse the setup for such different fuel mixtures, like try burning propane in 40 and 60% oxygen atmospheres?

Yes, and the lower the pressure, the greater that possibility, but the lower the pressure and the less total gas-mixture, then the weaker the 'explosion'. Maybe enough overpressure to pop open the lid, but little more. However, the way Cody plays the overall safety odds means that someday he's going to win the lottery. That hacksaw blade came off from the nitro detonation and went into his thumb, not a carotid artery.

So, you know how some fossilized amber air bubbles have been found to have higher pressure and higher oxygen mix ratios than our current atmosphere of today? I wonder what an ancient flame would have looked like in an atmosphere 1.5-2x ours and with 50% more oxygen (number might not be exact, but they're roughly what a I recall). Not sure about the ratio of other gasses. Lot's of possibilities. Thanks so much for sharing your experiments!

You'll make hydrogen chloride (which becomes hydrochloric acid when dissolved in water) and some mixture of carbon chlorides, predominantly carbon tetrachloride. Neither product should be released into the atmosphere: they're both highly toxic, HCl is corrosive and CCl4 destroys the ozone layer.

@jasonpatterson8091 6 лет назад
Propane is very particular about its air:fuel ratio for combustion. It's been a few years since I was really into spudguns and knew all this stuff by heart, but as I recall it just won't burn if the mixture is more than roughly half the stoichiometric ratio by volume. A stoichiometric mix is ~4% propane in air, iirc it just won't burn above roughly 10% (Again, it's been a while, it might be as high as 15 or 20%, but it really doesn't like burning rich.) Those are for well mixed combustion gases, of course, which is different than your setup. In any case, methane is more forgiving, and hydrogen even more so, if you ever wondered about lighting a match on Saturn.

@DarkQwerzar
@DarkQwerzar 6 лет назад
gabest4 It's indeed the opposite, with lower pressure (so less air) the electrons can flow more "freely" and arc longer, that's how you can create plasma with a vacuum chamber (and infact at the start what he show was primarily plasma), if you have a big voltage like at least 5kV-10Kv (10 Kv it would start to be risky for the radiaction produced) and a vacuum chamber with strong vacuum like 10^-6 torr, even with a small chamber you will see the air will be hot enough to be plasma and it will glow like a nebulosa, fascinating stuff (and with that you are close to an actual Farnsworth fusion reactor,just need deuterium and protection and a conductive ball with the negative pole to attract electrons in the centre), hope you find this useful

When I close down the vent, it starves the fire of oxygen and the flame goes out. That is exept for some little flames by the air holes. It almost looks like a barbq burner.
