Flamethrowers and oxygen deficiency
< on 3/21/2006 3:58 AM >
Posted on Forum: Infiltration Forums
 
Some friends and i explore the drains near my house quite often. They aren't too big. They are only about a meter in diameter. There are a lot of spiders and other things in the drain that we burn down using a lighter and a can of spraypaint. Is this a bad idea? Can it burn up all or enough of the oxygen in the drain to cause harm to me?

dah. Spiders are the least of your problems. If your that squirrely don't go near a drain. Where are those Qtips....

Just when I thought I was out... they pulled me back in.

I would be more concerned about blowing your hand off if the flame travels up the spray and into the can.

Im not squirrely. There are just a lot of poisonous spiders in there that can kill you if you are bitten by one.

Actually, yes, it does.
You sound like one of those idiot Boy Scouts that will try to squirt more charcoal fluid onto a campfire in order to make it hotter - the fire travels UP (in this case, up the stream of fluid), INTO the can, and VOILA. You have successfully blown your own face off! GO YOU!

Sorry, I probably forgot my <sarcasm> tags.

Yes, I have and I've seen the flame get close enough for me to worry. You may be right, but playing around with a "flamethrower" in an enclosed space with possible levels of methane and low oxygen levels is probably a bad idea anyway.

I'm sorry to spoil your nay saying but I've had gas cans with the nozzle on fire, no explosion, just simply blow the flame out. You won't get an explosion from fire travelling back into aresol cans, mainly because there is no oxygen inside the cans.

Mind you, fire and UE should not be mixed.

Where do you live? The odds of dying from even a black widow bite are so long it stretches into the next year. It's not going to happen. You might hurt like hell, but your pride's the only thing likely to die. Almost all spiders in the continental US are shy, retiring creatures who have much more to fear from you. Healthy people very, very rarely die in the US from native spiders.

There is a much better way. It's called bug spray. Fire in an enclosed area, or even semi-enclosed, is NEVER a good idea. Period.

I live in St.Louis. I still wouldn't want to get bitten by one. Even if it didn't kill you it would make you really sick and you possibly might need to be hospitalized. I mean I'm not just gonna run around and let them bite me because I probably won't die.

As much as I love flames and throwers (especially the two combined)... you might want to opt for another course of action.

How old are you again?

Here's some precautions you should take while you are at it:

1. Don't bother learning how to drive. Driving is one of the most dangerous activities you can ever partake in.

2. Don't bother exploring. The asbestos would give you asbestosis in 40 years.

3. Don't bother exploring. The PCB's in abandoned factories would kill you.

4. Don't bother exploring. You could possibly come into contact with lead paint in your mouth. A *slim* chance but it could happen.

5. Don't bother cooking food. Go to McDonald's and order hot food and cold drinks. Because the lid on the hot drinks could come off and burn your crotch.

6. Move away from the computer. You will get wrist problems, like me, and eye strain.

****ing christ man, you're going to do nothing but burn yourself and possibly the place you are exploring down. You come here to ask a question, yet you tort all the answers around as if you are some ****ing expert. Here's a clue: Read up on fire safety. Heed our warnings. Be better prepared with something safer than a flamethrower. Invest in a first aid kit.

Edited vulgar words out because UER is a children's forum. Sorry.

If you're spraying bugspray in enclosed spaces, why don't you just give yourself a little huff too! Make sure theres no bugs in you.

Incase you miss the sarcasm, its a bad idea. I reccomend taping the edges of your clothing if your squeamish about it. Keeps the critters out.

My post was relevant because you are taking a huge risk that could set the house (or whatever you are exploring) on fire and you could also very well harm yourself in the process. But hey, you are the one who's afraid of a spider, by which I have been bitten by several before mind you. If you are that afraid that you want to take that big of a risk to 'eliminate', then don't bother driving or exploring something more than a house or a drain.

Ever hear of methane buildup in drains? Or other noxious fumes? It's very real.

Go ahead. Ignore our warnings. Burn yourself and the place that you are exploring down. I'll just award you a Darwin star.

Oxygen depletion is not a concern, but drains can potentially contain a flammable concentration of methane gas and if it ignites, you will get burned.

You have to watch out for those spiders. They are just waiting for you. The ones that live in the drains are extremely poisonous and use sonar like bats to hunt you down. Here is a picture of one (Arachnovicious). Note the blood on the ground from its victims.
