<x-flowed>Oxygen isnt explosive, its an oxidizer. It has to do with the chemical reaction of buring fuel. Oxygen must be present for anything to burn, some exceptions are fuels that actually store their own oxygen supply within the chemical makeup of the fuel. Nitro-Methane being one example. Nos is Nitrous-Oxide, a nitrogen and oxygen combination...you are actually adding oxygen to the mix when you use Nos. You could add pure oxygen to the air fuel mixture. This is actually how the FI works. A set amount of fuel is squirted out each time, how much the throttle is open determines the amount of oxygen getting to the fuel. More open throttle=more oxygen=more ummph to the burn. Not being a chemist, I am not sure what would happen if you added pure oxygen, you would have to add a lot less volume than what you add in Nos. Oxygen makes the fuel burn hotter, I would bet that it would be easy to approach meltdown temps rather quickly by adding pure oxygen. >From: "SIR.LANCE ." <lance_koch@hotmail.com> >To: type3@vwtype3.org >Subject: [T3] oxygen injection >Date: Fri, 05 Apr 2002 08:43:53 +0000 >MIME-Version: 1.0 >X-Originating-IP: [24.78.111.47] >Received: from [209.239.32.20] by hotmail.com (3.2) with ESMTP id >MHotMailBE76AF41000B4136E821D1EF20140F920; Fri, 05 Apr 2002 00:46:09 -0800 >Received: (from gregm@localhost)by host32.cedant.com (8.10.2/8.10.2) id >g358iPB18899;Fri, 5 Apr 2002 03:44:25 -0500 >From type3-request@vwtype3.org Fri, 05 Apr 2002 00:47:36 -0800 >Resent-Date: Fri, 5 Apr 2002 03:44:25 -0500 >X-Authentication-Warning: host32.cedant.com: gregm set sender to >type3-request@vwtype3.org using -f >Message-ID: <F167aXux0DGcKVO9odh0000e586@hotmail.com> >X-OriginalArrivalTime: 05 Apr 2002 08:43:54.0132 (UTC) >FILETIME=[046CE540:01C1DC7E] >Resent-Message-ID: <"0UZHL.A.abE.RPWr8"@host32.cedant.com> >Resent-From: type3@vwtype3.org >X-Mailing-List: <type3@vwtype3.org> archive/latest/29071 >X-Loop: type3@vwtype3.org >Precedence: list >Resent-Sender: type3-request@vwtype3.org > > > > >if pure oxygen is exsplosive (looking at my mothers oxygen >tank).......would >it be possible to use it kinda like NOS? > > > >SIR.LANCE > > > > >_________________________________________________________________ >MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: >http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx > >------------------------------------------------------------------- >Too much?
