Carrying a fire extinguisher
Quote from Guest on January 12, 2009, 1:06 pmI am not sure of how to link to Youtube video clips and post them here without getting my own account there included. However, if you check YouTube and enter in the below listings into the search there, you can see a motorcycle fire that has many, many things to not do when encountering a fire. Basic stupidity on the part of the teens, but probably many people would do something as dumb and dangerous in a similar situation. Maybe someone else can actually link the clips here for view, but I couldn't make it work properly.

Quote from Peter Pan on January 13, 2009, 9:34 amThe first Jawa Rig I ever met was brand new from the shop in 1984(85?). At 340km on the same weekend it went up in flames because of a leaking tank valve on top of the wiring. Carbs and tank valves are still not up to date and free of leaking, electricity isn't the best yet neither, but on mine I have now 19.000km, so I hope I will not need my estinguiusher.

Quote from Guest on January 15, 2009, 12:23 pmJust a funny oddity, since the thread is on extinguishers. I was watching an episode of Mythbusters last night. The oddity was that they were trying to dispel a myth about a fire extinguisher bursting from the heat of a flame and thus, putting out the fire. They put a few into various fires and each did explode with great force. Although they confirmed that it could be plausable for a fire extinguisher to explode in a fire and put it out, their results actually showed the force of the explosion actually shooting debris and flaming or smouldering pieces out in all directions. This leade me to believe that the fire could just as easily be spread, as opposed to putting out the original fire, as in the myth.
(I don't recall if the extinguishers were of various types, dry-filled or liquid-filled).
It was sort of a funny or odd piece to view, as it brought back memories of this thread. I don't think I'd put my faith in a fire extinguisher bursting and putting out a hack fire though. But they did rule the myth plausable.

Wasn't that the theory behind the old Carbon Tetrachloride glass bulbs? I remember buying an old 1938 Cadillac that had a bracket under the hood, holding a red glass bulb about the size of a softball. It was encased in the bracket, not removeable, so I assumed it was meant to explode if the temp got too high.

Quote from Guest on January 16, 2009, 7:24 amNot sure if that was the theory on them or not, but I know that the CDC banned the use of such as it ruled the product contained as a possible carcinogen. You may be correct on the theory, but I don't know for sure.

Quote from gnm109 on January 16, 2009, 11:34 amYes, carbon tetrachloride was banned for general sale many years ago. Besides formerly being used in fire extinghuishers, it made a great spot remover. You can still purchase it at a chemical warehouse, I believe.
For the most part, the "authorities" have taken away all of the "good stuff" and left us with ecologically "safe" items that don't work as well.
Remember asbestos? Yeah, I know, it's dangerous. It sure made nice gaskets and brake linings. It's also the most common mineral in the earth's crust. How about real high octane gasoline with tetraethyl lead. Yeah, I know, it's dangerous, too. It was sure nice for those high compression motorcycle engines though, wasn't it?
We now live in a world where everyone is protected both from themselves and from the environment. Progress. LOL,

Quote from Hack__n on January 16, 2009, 12:21 pmThe glass bulbs were to be thrown at the base of the fire. Ideally the thin bulb would break and spread the carbon tet to suffocate the fire.
The "environmentalists" efforts have caused the banning of very many useful products at great cost to humanity when a bit of common sense control would have them still available to benefit mankind.
For instance DDT: Overt prolonged widespread use caused a huge decimation of some species of wildlife so it was banned (like lead shot). Controlled usage of DDT today would save millions of human lives lost in Africa from malaria.
As with most things like asbestos, carbon tetrachloride, tetraethyl lead, 24D, etc, prudent usage and moderation would be a better answer than abolition.Lonnie

Wow ... good to see somebody with a pragmatic and like minded sense for the world. I agree with you 100%.
I have to say that your post struck a chord with me as I live in the land of environmental activism (Portland Oregon) and go to Lewis and Clark Law school who's big claim to fame is that it has ... wait for it ... the NUMBER ONE ENVIRONMENTAL LAW PROGRAM in the country.
Ugh ... it's painful to watch.
Somebody I go to school with prides himself on telling folks that he "lives in a tree house."
To each his own I guess. Silly me. I just try to work hard and take care of my kids.
Ok, sorry about the rant.

Hopefully you won't have to pass a test on the level of your liberalism when you are finished with Law School. When I went to law school some 25 years ago, they didn't bother with such tests but nowadays, it's germanine to the teaching method.
Happy Trails.

Yes, its been an interesting 5 years here in Portland Oregon. I'm open to all sorts of views, but many of the folks out here are not content on just sharing their opinion. They get upset if you don't conform and adopt their same way of thinking.
But, to each their own I suppose. I'm all about balance. Too much of any one thing is bad. I don't want Exxon dumping oil all over Alaska's shores, but I don't think we need halt all technological advancement or start living in "tree houses" either.
Many folks up here have just lost any sense of balance. Thankfully, the epidemic is mostly contained to Portland city proper. I goto school downtown, but actually live in a rural area about 45 miles away and folks are pretty down to earth.
C'est la vie.

Sorry Lonnie, on this one I agree only 50/50 with you.
There are quite a few things I am not happy with the "greens" neither (example: abolishment of lead solder in industrial electronics, now you nearly cannot resolder electronic boards (0,3% of German lead consumption, while the hunters can spread 5% still in the woods)I applaude sewage water treatment plants and energy saving by far.
But the case of a neffew with cruppled feet, because of a brother in law contaminated by a nematocide that to that time was already forbidden in US at a "Chiquita"-banana plantation, makes me think that there in deed are quite a few things where the people have to be protected from their own stupidity.But for heavens sake: No wife, Doctor or law maker should protect me from "dangerous sidecar driving".
Have a nice winter.
Here the summer was inaugurated by a bad earth quake on 9th january (6,2º Richter) that destroyed one of the nicest mountain passes in the country.Sven Peter from Costa Rica.

Wonder if ALGORE has taken his fuel sucking private jet south for the winter to get away from all the global warming going on here this year. Of course we need to appreciate ALGORE for his 'inventing the internet' so all of us guys can get on here and discuss things right?

I understand that such a machine can put out 800 lbs of CO2 per hour. My little MIG welder is used with CO2. It uses 20 lbs. every 6 months or so if I use it intermitteltly. Do you suppose I'll have to quit welding to help the environment or could Al Gore possibly take a couple fewer trips in his airplane?
Since you mentioned Global warming, Al Gore shouldn't try to talk about that right now in the Midwest and Eastern states. They might laugh at him.
My terrier knows as much about global warming as Al Gore does.

We have it today. Forecast is 31ºF, but it's only 12 now. Of course, Saturday's forecast calls for a high of 8ºF. Enjoy it while you can.
