Eagle's May 31st Fire Tornado Party & Kegger

[Mike@Devo2ning]

IN for the Fire Tornado!

 

[Mike@Devo2ning]

I can also get some Sunoco 100 octane for the fire if need be.

Weak sauce! lol

Weak sauce! lol

Fine I can get 110, but that's all I have access to. Someone else will have to supply a higher octane fuel.

 

[TCG Member 5219]

Eagle, can we bring random stuff to burn?

 

[JBruno88]

I have mortors is someone has a mortor tube

 

[DanJ]

Oh yea I'm in for this

 

[1MEANGT]

Should be in! Sounds like my kind of party.

 

[04mach1]

I'm in. It would be a good chance to meet some more of you guys. Plus im pretty local

PVC tubing works great. what diameter? I can bring some.

 

[JBruno88]

PVC tubing works great. what diameter? I can bring some.

The mirror itself is like 1 and 3/4 so I'd say 2" diameter tubing.

 

[JBruno88]

Muahahahaha

I've got 30% nitro for RC cars if that helps anyone???

 

[DanJ]

I could be wrong... but wouldn't 87 octane work better than 110 as it doesn't resist combustion as much?

 

[Chester Copperpot]

Resist combustion from pressure*. No.

Fumes are still flammable as fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

 

[greasy]

Do not use standard white PVC for mortars! You need to use the HDPE tube. If a mortar gets stuck in a white piece you will be pulling shards out of your body.

Correctomundo, Dan!

After reading the subsequent posts, I've picked out my outfit for this shindig if I can make it:

Thought octane was merely the rating at how well it resisted combustion from pressure, not flammability.

Car pool!

It has become clear that rather than debating this matter further, and merely talking science-talk, the best path would be to immediately progress to full-scale testing at a certain McHenry location in order to gather quantifiable data. Because, science!!!

Items needed:

-Many gallons of various fuels.
-Fire tornado (included)
-Tape measure
-Ladder
-Volunteer who doesn't value body hair too highly
-Ambulance

E99.5 or M5(methanol with 17.5% nitro)? or I probably have some other cool shit around here..

 

[Mike@Devo2ning]

Do not use standard white PVC for mortars! You need to use the black PVC. If a mortar gets stuck in a white piece you will be pulling shards out of your body.

blah.. we were shooting 3" mortars off with a 3ft 3" pvc tube with no issues

This is a perfectly acceptable answer.

Measure that. I almost lost my head because my buddy shot a 1.5" mortar out of a 2"+ shop vac tube. Too much air went around it and it only got about 20' up before heading south and blowing up around 5' from the ground. We Kenyan sprinted away from that shit once we realized what was going on
