Cloth, soaked in alcohol, or other flammable agents.

Fires during surgery are actually somewhat common. So much so, and the occurrences were growing so rapidly, that various medical associations in several western nations were putting out bulletins about how to prevent fires during surgery. Alcohol has always been present during surgeries, but the massive increase of lasers and cauteries for surgeries has led to their always being a potential ignition source near the patient.

There's also usually a much higher than normal O2 content. In theory, the patient's breathing system should be all nice and sealed coming from the anesthesia machine's vent, to their lungs, and back again...but there's always leakage.

Even more of a problem when they used to use stuff like cyclopropane as a general anaesthetic. Apparently great care had to be taken with electrical equipment, diathermy machines, etc., to prevent sparks in the operating theatre, as cyclopropane is quite explosive in air.

They were actually doing the redneck method of seating a tire on a rim. Squirt some flammable aerosol into the cavity between the two, and then light it. The blast seats the tire on the rim.

Of course, you're generally going for a little firework blast, not a cannon shot.

BURY ME AS I LIVED, A FREE MAN ON THE CLUTCH

GPF posted:

When I was in the Army, I worked on the Apache AH-64A attack helicopter. My specialty was wiring, but I also was in charge of the Ground Power Unit, a jet engine in a box that generated power, air flow, and hydraulic pressure for an Apache on the ground. The pressure was over 1000psi in the system that ran all the hydraulic stuff, including moving the gun around.

There were a few times that I swung cloth in front of me to see if there was a hydraulic leak. Never found a high pressure one, though.

I may have mentioned it before, but I once lost a hydraulic control line on our Ford 8600 back when I was a kid on the farm. It started spraying but I couldn't find where it was spraying from. Like an idiot, I reached my hand behind the left set of duals, with the tractor running, to feel for it. My grandpa, who was working with me, grabbed me by the shoulder and threw me back before I could cut my fingers off.

Like a fool, I'd left the control lever up and it was at full pressure. I have fingers on both hands thanks to him.

After working for some time in the industrial sector where a bunch of stuff is automated with hydraulics and compressed air, I'm amazed that even the people who are supposedly trained in the dangers of it aren't more terrified of hydraulic and pneumatic systems.

That's why I like to use Trojan brand condoms. It's accurately named because when I deep dick a lass dozens of tiny soldiers stealthily creep past her defenses.

Highest oil pressure I've worked around is about 600PSI for "lift oil".

Some motors and generators pump high pressure oil into the bearings that the shaft floats on. It makes it much easier to start and easier to bar over for inspections.

(Also remember to keep your large drivetrains on a turning gear! Warping a rotor is a bitch to repair!)

When I had a job at a machine shop I used a big compressed air wand to clean diesel and grease off my forearms whenever I cleaned oil rig parts in a big tub.

After greater than 1 year of working at the noisy job I finally got a pair of acoustic filters at the local guitar store. I really hate earbuds so they're gonna take some getting used to. Still better than earplugs. I took an air gun and spent my entire shift trying to find something to make whistle. The machine has been making this awful noise during operation but now it only makes my teeth rattle not my whole skull.

I know of a guy who blew his hand up like a balloon spraying into a cut lol. I do it, but I know my air wand is at a really low psi and I do it as far away from my hands as I can while still having enough force to blow the chips off. You also have to avoid prolonged contact. Compressed air is full of nasty poo poo and if you are an idiot like the guy at my last shop who used to spray it into his pocket in between cycles to keep his balls cool, you're going to end up with some sort of fungal or bacterial infection like he did. If you're in machining we get this awesome catch 22 where blowing chips off your hands is a risk, but so is wiping your hands with a rag, as they collect coolant and can get gross and cause dermatitis really quickly. Not to mention they collect chips and you can cut yourself.

Holy poo poo I'll report back tomorrow with any results. Now i got something to do in downtime tomorrow.

Yeah I'm in machining I just wash my hands all the time but for chips you gotta use air cause sometimes you have to wait a few days for steel chips to start rusting before you can see where to pick at to get them out. Talk about a catch-22 there, live with a splinter til it rusts or dig around in your skin until you find it risking driving it in deeper.
