Fire needs oxygen
Is this an extinguisher?

>> No.11655280

>>11655274
you suck the oxygen out of the air
then burn it

>> No.11655283

>>11655266
If you could get a high enough flow rate and find a way to get that much oxygen out of the air that quickly, then yeah it could temporarily put out a fire. But then once you stop blowing on it it will reignite because it will still be super hot. Water works cause it takes the heat away.

it's a flame thrower not a fire extinguisher

oxygen doesn't burn on its own, it lowers the ignition point of other materials

OP you have to be 18 to post here.
Look up the fire tetrahedron for the elements required to make fire. There are four and if any one is missing there is no fire

Burning something is a reaction with oxygen (high school level chemistry). When oxygen reacts with itself, there would be no energy released and therefore no flame or heat produced. It wouldn't work.

Ah yes, science

op to burn something you need a fuel and a oxydant
O2 is your oxydant what's your fuel?
also why sucking air and filtering O2 when you can have a O2 cylinder
wtf is going on

You can stand there and push the balls up into the water tank one by one. It solves that problem.

>> No.11656072

But you need to eat a burger and drink a small coke per every 10,000 balls pushed

You would have to eat and drink anyway, so what is the problem?
