Pipe modification
Roy G
to a pipe I have invented which is pretty neat - I wonder maybe if anyone
else has tried it. I inherited a "meerschaum" type pipe from my grandfather
when he died, I think it is real old. First I just kept it but then I got
wondering what it would be like to smoke it, but you know I sort of didn't
want to smoke it because he was dead ? Anyway, one night after a few beers I
tried it out and it was real good. It has a real big bowl and I got a good
buzz on. That time I used tobacco taken out of cigarettes but after I bought
some proper pipe tobacco.
Problem was that it took real long to smoke down, with the bowl being big as
I said. So one day I thought maybe I could burn the tobacco plug faster. So,
I drilled a real narrow hole in the base of the bowl (it was hard to do, it
was made of like stone or something) and connected up a small rubber tube
with a small bleed of pure oxygen, we have some cannisters around for my
mother's emphysema. After some practice adjusting the bleed rate I found the
plug could burn maybe 2 times faster than usual - one time I checked out
the plug half-way through and it looked like it was burning from the bottom
of the bowl as well as at the top. I think also the burn temperature is
higher so you get more aromatic taste in the smoke too.
Maybe you guys would like to try the idea - I do not want to patent
it or anything.

Let me get this straight - You steal oxygen from your own mother that
she needs for her illness, and you don't want to patent it?
Aw go on. Go for it! Think of the millions you could make! I can just

hydrogen maybe, if oxygen burnt it would be pretty stupid of them to release
oxygen masks just before the plane was going to crash wouldn't it ? I'm

stated that you use "pure oxygen." If you do not believe the use of pure
oxygen to be extremely dangerous, you are the one that is ill-informed. Pure
oxygen is a flame accelerant. Pure oxygen is indeed extremely dangerous around
open flame. Most informed people know this to be true. And, after your last
posting, I contacted one of the largest suppliers of pure oxygen for medical
use in the Greater Cleveland area. The gentleman informed me that the
intentional use of flame around even a restricted flow of pure oxygen amounts
to monumental stupidity.

I have been in hospital with oxygen back when a person could smoke in their
room and if you had oxygen it was no smoking. Also burned a lot of iron with an
oxy / acetelyne torch.
Some astronauts died at the Cape as a result of an oxygen propelled fire in the
sixties.

when he states that his mother has emphysema?

also still smokes.

Well, since this is turning into a sixth grade science class ...
Nothing burns in the absence of oxygen, and increasing the amount of free
oxygen available will increase, up to a point, the rate at which something
will burn. This is, in fact, just what you are doing with your pipe
modification.
If you'd like a demonstration of this, take a glass soda bottle and hold it
upside down over the hose from the oxygen cylinder, with the gas on, long
enough to displace the air from the bottle. Hold your thumb over the opening
of the bottle, and light an ordinary kitchen match. Drop the match into the
bottle, and observe how much more quickly it burns. No, it's not going to
combust explosively, but it will burst into flame in the presence of all
that free O2.
Further, hydrogen does not burn if oxygen is not present ... 2 molecules of
hydrogen and on molecule of oxygen, plus a little spark of activation
energy, and you get the bang plus one molecules of water.
Nothing personal, but I don't think the group benefits from ill-informed
posts like yours ...

Remember the film, "Smoke?" I went to see if shortly after it was released,
and enjoyed it immensely. More poignant still, in a sad sort of way, was the
old woman, wheeling about a cart of oxygen, connected through pipes to her
nose, walking up to the ticket counter, and requesting a ticket. The asphalt
in her voice, the squeak of the wheels of her cart, her slow shuffling, and
her request for "One for Smoke" made for a comically tragic scene.
But, not quite as funny as the thought of someone's one legged grandpop
coming back from beyond to kick his lilly white butt...

Burning, conventional combustion, is nothing more than rapid exothermic
oxidation of a suitable fuel, such as materials containing an abundance of
carbon, hydrogen, and similar elements. Oxygen obviously cannot oxidize
itself, but it can surely can do the trick on many other substances.

The oxygen masks are released only when the aircraft is at high altitude
and cabin pressure drops to the point oxygen is required to sustain life
and function of the human body. Due to the risk of fire, it would be nice
to avoid use of high-purity oxygen even then, but it would accomplish
little to avoid fire only to have everyone die of asphyxiation.

If the plane was going to crash, the last thing you would want to do would
be hand out fire starters and bottles of high-purity oxygen. And in
any case, this would violate the FAA ban on smoking aboard airliners, so
legally and economically it would be a non-starter anyway.<grin>

Notice the line which reads: "Problem was that it took real long to smoke

of good tobacco to be over with sooner, and after realizing the trouble involved
in breaking in a good pipe I can also think of no reason a pipe smoker would
take a chance on screwing up a good smoker. I guard all mine with my life, and

Fellow ASP'ers:
It seems to me we have two possibilities here:
1) "The soon-to-be-late Roy Grainger" really is the half-wit he seems to
be, in which case we are wasting bandwidth trying to convince him of it
or
2) He should hand you all your legs back, and thank you for being such
great straight men.
C'mon. He pays his mother $1.00/minute for the oxygen?

My mother is a circus artist and also a member of the Democratic Party, for
this reason when she draws on her pipe she is not allowed to inhale so she
breathes the smoke out into a bag and releases it in the wild.

foulmouthed and blasphemous comments - I see you need another lesson in
politeness - making fun of disabled people in your other post (Roy

far - passing off an idea as your own when it is not is disgraceful - we all

I had the address of the group that does the Darwin Awards, but I can't find
it.(Started, I believe, by a Canadian dentist).
Would you please post it, so that Roy may be nominated for the award?
Thanks,

further the cause of pipe technology. Do you think that man would have
walked on the moon and other planets if it was not for people like me
(similar, at least) ?
I think it is a pity you are only laughing at my idea - some other posters
have made fun of my family, I think this is very bad, my mother is an
aromatherapist and requires a calm atmosphere for her healing karma to
become active she says. If you read other posts you will see though that
some people think my idea is so good they are nominating it for an award
from Mr. Darwin, you can be sure that in my acceptance speech I'll point out
to him how many uninformed people laughed at my turbo-pipe invention. I
guess it was similar for many great inventors of the past, Eisenstein,
Hemmingway and so on.

A few details betray your ruse. Mormons (your mother) have no interest in
or acceptance in the notion of "karma". Also, your syntax and spelling are
just a bit too tidy for the character you portray, though you do
deliberately misspell the names of Einstein and Hemingway.
Thank you for so skillfully arousing the interest of this group. IMO you are
a master of comic understatement. If you really are a pipe smoker so much
the better. We've enjoyed your visit to our group.

He drilled his grandfather's Meer and vented pure oxygen into the bowl. I'm
loving this.
Plane crashes ...oxygen masks.... Turbo-Pipes... It just dosen't get any
better than this.
But wait, I'm not nearly through reading the thread.... maybe it does.

(other than Earth), and I didn't know Albert or Ernest, invented anything.
If you win the Darwin Award for your Turbo-pipe, I suggest you write out
your acceptance speech.(In Advance).

I did a "Yahoo" search for "darwin+awards" and got a list of 20 sites;
I guess you want www.darwinawards.com or www.OfficialDarwinAwards.com
(same site, differant URL) or www.darwinawards.cjp.com.

If you do a Yahoo! search, remember to use the boolean operators. The search
works best when it looks like this:
+darwin +awards
Anyway, here's the official site:
http://official.darwinawards.com/

For the record, I think it's an interesting idea.

Now I'm disappointed that the ingenius yet addle-pated (though possibly
spurious or at least satirical) Mr Granger is now silent.
Perhaps his little gray cells are at work on another innovation no smoker can
live with!
