Week in the Life - Day 1

As I've mentioned elsewhere, I'm finally able to do this meme without getting arrested for carrying a camera with me during the day. Yay.

Week in the Life: Day 1
1. You must take between 6 and 8 new photographs per day.
2. Your WITL must be consecutive. No skipping days.
3. You must post your photographs at the end of that day, some time after the last picture is taken.
4. Each photograph must have the time taken and a title, with no other explanation.

15:17 : My Favorite Mug, Filled with Coffee




15:35 : Whiteboard of DOOM!




18:07 : This is All for One Class




18:12 : Never Enough Firepower

Coffee mate makes fireballs??

I drink this!

Well, it's extremely flammable. We've detonated some and made a fireball that went up over 5 stories. And then ran from the area before the campus police showed up.

Oh. My.

I think I won't be adding that to coffee anytime soon. (I used to love it as a kid.)

Well, I think flour does the same thing. When it's in a clump, it's harmless. But if it's thrown up in the air and let near a flame, the whole cloud ignites.

It's pretty impressive looking.

I think they used it on Mythbusters to make a fireball without any explosive compounds. (that and - sawdust?)

Yeah. All you need to do is pile some onto something that'll blow it up into the air, then a secondary trigger to ignite it.

(Sawdust should do the same thing. It's just the tiny particles catching on fire, and when they're airborne, there's lots of oxygen to feed the fire, so it spreads from particle to particle.)

Yeah. Any fine particulate or mist.

This is in fact the same principle behind grain silo explosions.

(And fuel-air bombs.)
