  2. Had a high pressure tall cylinder of argon do this inside a concrete building when I was in the AF – bottle fell, valve snapped off and it impaled the wall – the crack that formed up the cylinder wall of the bottle let the rest of the gas out quick. Otherwise the bottle would have been like a ball in a pinball game. Everyone pretty much crapped their pants but no one was hurt.

  3. have to put something at the exit so that you can “guide” it and then put some fins on it.

  5. I wonder what would happen if you take an empty tank, weld fins on it, then do this trick at 300 bar… Would it fly off like an unguided missile?

  9. @Fender409 This would work the same with a pressurized flammable substance too. It’s not the substance itself that causes this, it’s the pressure differential

  11. this is why oxygen is more dangerous than flammable tanks, because its the least expected of the two

  19. reminds me of the movie gone in 60 seconds when nicholas cage was being chased by the cops around the dock and someone hit an air tank and it shot around like some of these did. also in jumanji at that discount store the scuba tanks on the canoe.

  21. these guys work at the factory, where these cylinders are made, looking at ways of making safer by putting reducing valves in the neck .

  22. I’m picturing the people setting this up and wondering if any of them were thinking “let’s pray that missile doesn’t turn around”.
