Islandoftiki Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 Back to the 2 gallon tank... Everything is looking great. The water is still wacky clear. There's a minor reduction of the green cyano. Link to comment
atoll Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 What we have to remember when working with CO2 and O2 is that CO2 is a lot more soluble than O2. That is why the Oxydator Albert and I have produce tiny bubbles. Some of the bubbles produced by the Oxydator are so fine you wont even see them others so fine that in still seawater the bubbles will leave it horizontaly. For the Oxydator to be efficient it needs to maximise the peroxides production of O2. Link to comment
albertthiel Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I'm thinking pellet gun... Now there's an idea ... if it does not blow up .. Link to comment

albertthiel Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I'm thinking pellet gun... It has not burst the bottle yet ? Any leaks at the top maybe ? Link to comment
Islandoftiki Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 It hasn't burst yet. I think it's sealed pretty well. It's still bubbling, and the plastic is starting to show slight deformation. There's absolutely no flex in the plastic. There is quite a bit of pressure in there. I'll bring my BB gun home from work tomorrow and of course, I'll make a video if I shoot it. Link to comment

That must be some super bottle you have there. Pity you did not glue a pressure valve on the top, would be interesting to know what kind of PSI is in that bottle right now ... Thanks for the update ... Link to comment

I've pressurized plastic bottles like this to about 150psi and they haven't burst. They deform at that pressure, but they hold pretty steady up to about 120 psi without deforming. I'm guessing it's a little over 100 psi right now. Link to comment
beebes Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I'll bring my BB gun home from work tomorrow and of course, I'll make a video if I shoot it. ..why do you keep a BB gun at work? Link to comment

That a pretty good PSI level indeed ... guess those bottles are made to withstand just about anything, but I guess not a BB gun :-0 ..why do you keep a BB gun at work? Link to comment
GTi Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 ..why do you keep a BB gun at work? Just what I was wondering! Link to comment

Islandoftiki Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 Oh my! Ok, who wants to see me shoot it? Link to comment
albertthiel Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Oh my! Ok, who wants to see me shoot it? I am sure MANY .... I am sure MANY .... Amazing that the bottle did not burst on you ... Wonder what PSI it is at now Link to comment
Islandoftiki Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 Oh man. so disappointing... The first shot just grazed it. The second shot was off center. I shot it a 3rd time because the whole thing sucked. http://youtu.be/UN4i7MFWyWQ I guess the sights are a bit off. I haven't fired this thing in years. Link to comment

Pity you did not hit it in the middle but hey ... you can set the experiment up again and get a sharp shooter This must be how Geraldo Rivera felt when he opened Al Capone's vault... I am sure MANY .... Amazing that the bottle did not burst on you ... Wonder what PSI it is at now Amazing how bulging that bottles looks without bursting on its own ... Link to comment
