  • i make sure to ONLY heat my nitrous bottle with an open flame

  • No permit needed. Ordinances vary. Typically, nitrous is not picked upon in the US, but in some ohter counties it's absolutely forbidden. I spray a street Harley regularly and my bottles are right out in the open. No problems. Remember though... With great power comes great responsibility also. Don't be a fool with it.

  • Do you need a permit to own NOS in car?

    Can you use it on public roads? or is it off-road only?

  • why transfer it when you can just inhail it?

  • @yoyoboy70 lol riiiiiiiight

  • @yoyoboy70 ... If YOU want to huff Nitrous+ (N2O+50ppm sodium dioxide) which is the only kind available at the speed shop, then YOU go right ahead. Let me know how the migrane works for ya, that is, if you don't die.

  • @yoyoboy70 Instead of figuring out ways to get high and alter your state of mind, perhaps you should open a book and learn how to properly spell words such as inhale** ...... some food for thought.

  • wtf.....won't it blow up in da freezer over night???

  • @soccerHEROking

    How is it going to blow up? Cooling it down lowers the pressure in the bottle - a full one will read 300 psi on the gauge after spending the night in the freezer...

  • Great video. Glad I saw it just in time for the PSCA race this weekend

  • NOOOOOZZZZZZZ!!!!!

    

  • haha yes the flame is hotter then 650*. lol, you're not getting my point.... take a chunk of auminum, heat it it one spot with a propane torch, infra-red temp test that spot... then you will understand. Things called heat transfer, conductivity, and specific heat capacity exist in our world. The paint will burn off the bottle bfore it is annealed. Hold the torch in one spot that long and you will with the Darwin award.

  • Why not heat the bottle with a open flame? Nitrous is not flammable? you could say don't heat it too hot, or watch the pressure and make sure not to over pressure the bottle, but I'm not sure of any reason a small controlled flame to heat the bottle isn't safe? Good video though, shows how simple this can be. Thanks :)

  • @Ignerence

    One, every nitrous kit manufacturer tells you not to. Two, the NHRA rulebook specifically forbids it.

    Nitrous oxide is an oxidizer, not a fuel, true. But there is a huge amount of potential energy stored in the bottle in the form of pressure, which has to be respected.

    According to Mike Thermos, co-founder of NOS, using a torch anneals the metal in the bottle, causing weak spots. There's no way to avoid this - it WILL happen no matter how careful you are. Eventually, boom.

  • @Spinolio Aluminum Anneals at 650+f and with how conductive it is, you would have to be standing there heating a empty bottle in one spot for a long time to change the molecular make up, but it is possible. I would assume most people are smarter than that (I have been wrong before ;) ) NHRA, and N2o companies are more worried about lawsuits then your safety.

    However, I totally understand saying it, I would never recommend doing it...

    Thanks for the Vid!

  • @Ignerence

    How are the NHRA or manufacturers going to get sued if nothing happens?

    Maximum adiabatic flame temperature a propane torch can achieve is something like 3600 degrees F, so I am not so sure that *any* exposure is safe.

    In any case, I don't care how many of the revolver's cylinders are empty - if there's one loaded, I'm not putting the muzzle to my head if I don't have to, and there are plenty of ways to heat a bottle that have absolutely zero chance of damaging them.

  • thanks. now i can pretend better to know what im talking about when filling mine up to party :)

  • wats the name of that metal wire that u used to transfer it?

  • @CacholaKid ... high pressure braided nitrous line... any speed shop with 'AN' fittings and hoses (like custom brake lines) can custom make whatever you need
