This makes for a rather spectacular failure mode if the centrifuge's bearings seize. But really how likely is that to happen, I say go for it

chitoryu12 posted:It's got instructions on how to build single shot pipe guns for .22 caliber, 9mm, .45 ACP, and .38 caliber pistols and pipe guns for 7.62mm rifle rounds and 12 gauge shotgun shells. Plus plenty of explosive and incendiary recipes and ways to use them (like a chemical-based Molotov in a plastic bottle and using a pipe and black powder to make a booby trap shotgun or grenade launcher). It even shows how you can refill spent primers with crushed strike-anywhere matches (normally firearm primers are the hardest part to improvise). Okay thanks. I that is actually interesting I was expecting some weird poo poo more likey to blow up the person making it stuff.

Oh, a lot of the stuff in the book is pretty likely to blow you up if you're not careful with it. Black powder is the simplest explosive there is to make from scratch, but one stray spark from using the wrong material for your tools or getting your mix a little too close to flame and goodbye everything. The book does let you make some more complex recipes, but you still want basic chemical safety knowledge (especially with the caustic acids used for some of them). Even with an expert, homemade explosives with improvised ingredients and parts are always finicky. A perfectly built pipe bomb may fail to explode like you planned simply because the length of pipe you chose developed a crack or hole somewhere and it let all the pressure out without an earth-shattering kaboom. Or the fuse you got doesn't burn consistently every time, so you're off by a few seconds at least when you light and throw it.

I remember reading through that TM as a teenager, and being awed at how easy some of the stuff was to make. I'm also still horrified to this day at the one variation of napalm that involves boiling goddamn gasoline to make it.

But I did make the styrofoam napalm stuff. It was less fun to gently caress around with than normal gasoline. The boiling point of gasoline is between 100 and 400 degrees Fahrenheit depending on the exact fuel; this is why gasoline evaporates over time (creating dangerously flammable fumes that are much easier to ignite than the liquid itself). The actual ignition temperature is about 495 degrees Fahrenheit, so you can safely boil it as long as there's no open flames around to risk igniting fumes. This is also why dropping a match or lighter in a puddle or tank of gasoline is more likely to extinguish the flame than ignite it, but dropping in a road flare or something means you better run.

I actually mixed gasoline into a citronella bucket candle by pouring gas on top of the wax, and lighting it on fire to melt the contents, then covering the bucket to snuff out the fire and let the mixture cool. I didn't have any electric hot plates, so trying to boil gas would have involved an open flame under the container. Leading to the expected fire ball or column of flame. Or just accept that everything is going to be on fire and work from there. This sounds like something from the FOOF thread, not very work related!

Lurking Haro posted:Wrapping up work. I've been at a couple of different motor manufacturing/rewinding shops. The motors they built ranged from small (couple hundred horsepower) to much larger (over 10,000 horsepower) electric motors and generators. The machines are bolted down in a secure testing area and put through their paces - checked for things like proper temperature rise, current balance, overspeed (it's done but kinda' pointless for AC motor applications - I think it's more for generators) and vibration. Sometimes I see guys working awfully close to the exposed drive end of the rotor! Especially during things like checking for vibration levels, checking for magnetic center, and balancing. Call me a worrywart but that makes me cringe when it comes time to check for those things. Three-Phase fucked around with this message at 23:15 on Jul 7, 2015 |

The correct OSHA complaint method is to wear the tear-away clothing Chippendale's dancers use, so if it gets caught on something you're left in your boxers wondering what the gently caress, instead of chunky salsa.
