LOX (LO2) (liquid oxygen) Safety Warning

Video quality is poor, it is old.

LOX the liquid rocket fuel that most people don't think of as fuel, since we live in such an O2 rich environment, most take it for granted.

Essentially: LO2 + H or HC = BOOM

i'm sorry my friend you are wrong about the rocket fuel thing this video was made for the navy we use lox to provide oxygen aircrew. it will explode on contact with any hydrocarbon and has an expansion rate of 862 to 1. you should study a bit more about a subject before you try to teach other people.

Freerunner77: On the contrary; it is you that is wrong. LOX is used as a rocket fuel. You should study more before you try to criticize others; thusly you could save yourself from making a fool of yourself kid. LOX is one of the most common rocket fuels for spacecraft. If I remember correctly NASA is a larger customer of LOX, than the military. The military mainly only uses LOX for environmental control.

Take your foolish ad hominem confabulatory/out of context arguments elsewhere.

A few mistakes you made.

Liquid Oxygen isn't a fuel, it's an oxidizer.

and

I think you meant "take it for granted" not "granite".

[ATFSCrash]

Oxygen is classified as a fuel. Oxidizers are a subcategory of fuel. Such as a two part fuels.

"Fuel is any material that is burnt or altered in order to obtain energy"

Thanks for your correction of my typo (voice to text malapropism).

I love his line, "you'll smell bad for weeks... of burned flesh"

It's melodramatic, but I know I'll remember it next time I handle dangerous chemicals.

Any one remember the pizza face lox training video??? I can't remember what the name of it is, but i remember watching it in Tech school.

Great. Your is in better condition, and more of it. How about sending it as a video response? Thanks very much. Thumbs up
