QUOTE(jkeyzer @ Oct 11 2004, 03:04 PM) Believe it or not some of us have done that on purpose before. (right bondo??) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) Heck yeah! I have a tail cover with stripped threads that I'm saving for a bonfire someday (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Not any hot fire will do it.. the magnesium at that temperature steals the oxygen from the water, forming magnesium oxide. This releases the hydrogen from the water.. the hydrogen then combines with oxygen in the air and burns. It will only happen until all the magnesum is consumed.. Too bad, because otherwise you could make a magnesum started rocket that could run forever on water (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
