Where There's Water - There Are Sailors!
Paladin wrote: wrote in message ups.com... Ran into "Dead air" in a cave in Texas. It felt very strange and the carbide got dim. We got out in a hurry. How does carbide get dim? Carbide lamps burn acetylene gas not carbide. Calcium carbide, for use in carbide lamps, is a granular solid with no inherent brightness. When combined with water it produces the aforementioned flammable gas. Paladin (Have gun-will travel) -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com I meant the carbide lamps got dim from lack of oxygen. |
