Can you drink nitromethane?

A nip of nitromethane wouldn't hurt, either, though you'd get liver and kidney damage if you drank it all the time.

Is nitromethane a liquid?

Nitromethane is a strongly polar, oily liquid that is used as a solvent or reactant in organic chemical synthesis and as a fuel in motor sports, rockets, hobby airplanes, and the like. It is produced, along with other nitroalkanes, in a high-temperature reaction between propane and nitric acid.

What would happen if you drank napalm?

Large surface area contact results in rapid loss of blood pressure, loss of consciousness, and death. [1] Napalm also can produce localized areas of high carbon dioxide concentration due to incomplete combustion.

Can you drink nitroglycerine?

What if you had to swig a little nitroglycerine? You could get red in the face or faint. Nitroglycerine acts as a vasodilator to enlarge your blood vessels and lower your blood pressure. But screeners would have a hard time spotting the most likely symptoms—elevated heart rate and nausea.

What happens if you mix acetone and peroxide?

Hydrogen peroxide mixed with organic solvents is known to form dangerous peroxides. Hydrogen peroxide and acetone is an especially hazardous combination that can form various explosive peroxides when mixed at high concentration while using an acid catalyst.

GET NITROMETHANE at the store

Can nitromethane make you sick?

Exposure to very high levels can cause trouble breathing, collapse and even death.

Can I run nitromethane in my car?

Nitromethane by itself does not burn, its only supplies more oxygen to the burn. Adding it to gasoline would be the same thing as running very high octane fuel, which involves motor knowlege and reworking to run safely.

How much does a gallon of nitromethane cost?

… Nitromethane used to power the engines of NHRA Top Fuel dragsters and Funny Cars costs about $16 US per gallon!

What is the shelf life of nitromethane?

From my experience, it should last well over 1 year.

Why does nitromethane make so much power?

Nitromethane instead is partly composed of oxygen, and therefore requires only 1.7kg of air to burn per kilogram of fuel. This means that with the same amount of air, a nitromethane engine burns eight times the amount of fuel, making loads more power.

How do you get nitromethane?

Preparation. Nitromethane is produced industrially by combining propane and nitric acid in the gas phase at 350–450 °C (662–842 °F). This exothermic reaction produces the four industrially significant nitroalkanes: nitromethane, nitroethane, 1-nitropropane, and 2-nitropropane.

Can you use vodka in a Molotov?

Alcohol will burn well, but must be at a high proof or concentration; you can't use regular 80 proof vodka. You'll need to use at least 100 proof, ideally something even stronger, like Everclear. Gasoline will burn strongly, but won't last long, so you get a big fireball but then nothing.

Are Molotovs legal in war?

As incendiary devices, Molotov cocktails are illegal to manufacture or possess in many regions. In the United States, Molotov cocktails are considered "destructive devices" under the National Firearms Act and are regulated by the ATF.

Can wine be used as a Molotov?

bottle, rag glass wine bottle (H 30cm x 7.5cm diameter) modified by means of the addition of a cloth 'wick' to become an improvised 'Molotov cocktail' grenade. The cloth 'wick', once lit, would ignite the contents after the bottle was broken.

Does nitromethane mix with ethanol?

Nitromethane and Ethanol are readily miscible.

Does nitromethane evaporate?

Yes nitromethane evaporates. So does methonal, which also sucks up water.

What is needed for nitromethane?

What's the secret? Nitromethane carries its own oxygen, so it needs much less atmospheric oxygen to burn. The theoretical ideal or stoichiometric air/fuel ratio for gasoline is 14.7:1. That means, 14.7 pounds of air are needed to burn 1 pound of gas.

What happens if you drink nitro fuel?

nitro fuel is based on methanol, which is poisonous. it will kill you if you drink enough. any quantity insufficient to kill you will most likely make you blind (irreversible) by destroying your optic nerve. nitromethane, the other ingredient, is also toxic.

What's the difference between nitrous oxide and nitromethane?

Nitro methane is a fuel used by top class Drag bikes/cars and is in no way similar or linked to nitrous oxide. In fact they couldn't be more different, as nitro methane is a flammable fuel, while nitrous oxide is a non-flammable oxidiser.

How do you purify nitromethane?

Remove the Dry Ice jacket and allow the solid in the funnel to melt and filter through into a distilling flask. Vacuum distill the liquid through an efficient packed column to the boiling point of nitromethane, discarding the distillate. Clean and dry the condenser thoroughly and continue distilling.

What is the strongest explosive?

HMX is the most powerful high explosive produced in industrial quantities today. It is a relatively insensitive, temperature-stable and safe-to-handle high explosive that makes it useful in a variety of applications both in military and civilian end products.

What happens when you mix hydrogen peroxide and baking soda?

When you mix hydrogen peroxide and baking soda, it causes an exothermic chemical reaction that turns it into the grease and mineral-busting cleaning powerhouse that I love.

Can hydrogen peroxide be used as an explosive?

Stronger hydrogen peroxide of 30 percent concentration can be ordered from chemical supply companies, but concentrations strong enough to generate a powerful explosion, about 70 percent, are not readily available, Dr. Langerman said.
