Re: Basic chemistry
Posted By: Sir JivealotDate: 6/16/04 5:26 a.m.

In Response To: Re: Basic chemistry (Tiger51)

: Methane alone is extremely flammable, oxygen meanwhile, is not. Oxygen is
: simply an oxidizer, it will support combustion, but will not actually
: combust. Methane will both combust and support combustion on it's own. So
: if battles took place on Grunt's own world, any such explosion would be
: catostrophic. As long as the atmosphere on the Grunt's world contained
: only trace amounts of oxygen, it could be present. Think of all the
: contaiminants we breathe everyday, and 'nothing' happens to us.

: Lets think about this, none of the covie weapons use explosions to operate,
: all of our weapons do. The main operating force behind the bulk of Covie
: weapons is plasma, plasma wouldn't cause methane to explode, there is no
: flame front; needles from a needler, while they do explode, they do so in
: a non firey fashion...the simply 'pop', much like an overfilled balloon.
: All of the Covie weapons are Covie world safe, while none of ours
: are....at least non on a Grunt world full of methane. For this simple fact
: alone, I dont think battles will take place on a methane rich planet. How
: would we even move about on the planet? Our ships (at least the Pelican)
: uses propulsion with a flame front...now I have not read any of the three
: books, and I'm not even sure if the Pelican specifics were discussed, this
: is speculation. Imagine having to rely on Covie technology alone to move
: about a planet that we more then likely know nothing about...talk about
: stacking the odds against you.

: But I do have a theory on some possible 'bombs' for H2....imagine vast tanks
: of methane just sitting about, waiting for a stray bullet or a drop from a
: ledge....Perhaps this is what some of the explosive crates are in the
: Zanzibar level?

If this is true, would one small explosive take out the whole gruntie world?
