So I have this candle, sitting next to my monitor, burning, and I also have this "Ninja Air" compressed air can to my right (more generically: an Air Duster)

I'm feeling too lazy to stand up and blow down into the candle, so I pick up the air can, and blast it at the candle

To my surprise a flame larger than that of spraying hair spray into an open fire goes all over my wall, singeing some paper on the wall, and partially lighting it on fire

I took a step back and a quick breath of air from my nostrils, only to have my nostrils burn like a mother fucker, I did get out of the room and put out the flames, but still, I didn't see this coming

It says, "This product isn't considered flammable by 16 CFR, 1500.3, consumer products safety commission regulations. However this product can be ignited under certain circumstances"

I wouldn't expect "AIR" to be flammable, I would expect it to be the opposite, ends up its EXTREMELY flammable.

Why they don't have a big, "WARNING: FLAMMABLE UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS" box on the front, I don't know.

Let this be a warning: Don't spray Air Duster air into an open flame...

Let this be an idea: If your a pyromaniac, and looking for something new and easy to get your hands on, then this shit is pretty cool (Might grab a scuba mask and my dive tank with a regulator and dick around with it... Close to water (Eye protection, and clean air supply)

The air shouldn't be.

On the other hand, the propellant might.

EDIT: The below is for "Dust Off", since you used a picture of that...

/facepalm

Here is the material safety data sheet provided by the company - www.sisweb.com/referenc/msds/dustoff.pdf

And here is one for what seems to be the main component, Freon 152a (1,1 - Difluroethane) - http://msds.chem.ox.ac.uk/DI/1,1-difluoroethane.html

Highly flammable. Vapour-air mixtures may be explosive.

Edit 2:

It's this rite? http://www.thinkgeek.com/homeoffice/sup … 76/images/

Those sneaky mofo's with "No CFC's" - they are using HFC's! XD... In which case, the links up above are relevant (cause it says it uses difluroethane).

Yes, please put the open oxygen tank closer to the flame thrower.

Are you not the same idiot who almost set his house on fire with that smoke bomb not long ago?

If so, glad you learnt your lesson

First, no one dives with a 100% Oxygen mix, the max for recrational diving as set forth by PADI is 40% Oxygen, if you dove on 100% O2 then your max operating depth would be way too shallow for any fun

Second of all, it's regular air, 21% O2

Oxygen is a flammable gas, that is why we also breath in Nitrogen which is a fireproof gas and one of the reasons why we don't have global wildfires all over the world.

The irony of guns, is that they can save lives.

Just like if you try to breathe it, it will sink in your lungs and you will suffocate. I remember reading a story about an innocent kid like 11 years old or something who did it and died in a few seconds. Poor kid.

15 more years! 15 more years!

You idiot. It's compressed CO2 in those things.

^^The gas is "inert", or so the manufacturers claim.

It could even be argon if it was meant to be completely inert (3rd most available gas, I think).

Two birds, one stone. (RandomSchl mate, why'd you delete your post?)

Oxygen is an Oxidizing agent. This relates to its role in combustion, a type of Redox reaction (the details of which I would doubt you would grasp).

We breathe (for future reference, "Breath" would be a noun ) in a large portion of air as dinitrogen because... that's the composition of air. From your post War Man, you seem to be asserting that we breathe it in due to its "fireproof" properties (or since oxygen is "flammable"). And on that note, Nitrogen is mostly Inert, not "fireproof".

I don't think I'll touch the global wildfire comment. Lol.

Do at least some measure of research/reading before you post, lest it create the impression you are home-schooled...
