lox is also used in aviation, we've gotta put it in our planes instead of gox

Niceeeee

trojan fire and ice: the secret is finally revealed!

It seems strange that the transition from liquid oxygen temperatures to fire temperatures didn't break the glass...

kidz....... Don't try this home...

@showingpig01 When taken to cold enough temperatures, with high enough pressures, oxygen will take on a variety of solid forms, with various crystal structures and properties. You can read short descriptions of them on Wikipedia- just google "solid oxygen." Red oxygen is some really interesting stuff.

LOX + LHY -> boom =3

@mjnelson91 not really , it will just istantly evaporate (leinfrost effect or similar) but since it's 22,4 liters(gas) for 40 milliliters (liquid) it will blow up your lungs =D

so if you were to cool it even more could you theoretically make a solid block of pure oxygen?
So is the oxygen feeding the fire even in a liquid form?

@criticaboutvids Yes. Most people think of liquid as water, but instead just think of it as pure oxygen (cause that's what it is :P ). Water smothers the fire, depriving it of the oxygen that it needs to continue the reaction, whereas liquid oxygen is pure oxygen, which only feeds the fire more. Even though it is much colder than oxygen in the air, therefore requiring more energy to react with the wood, the fact that it is 100% oxygen makes the flame burn brighter and hotter.

can you like.. inhale that liquid? oxygen

@joedude967 Well you could, but you would literally freeze your mouth/ nose, throat, esophogus, wind pipe, lungs, and pretty much everything that the liquid oxygen touched, so good luck with that!
