bunsen burner omg lol

[Redmoon Evil]

This happened ages ago back when I was at school but I just remembered it

Is it possible to blow the school up if you set fire to the gas tap without a bunsen on, have I made this thread before? I can't remember lol anyway In year 8 I did that and got caught and the teacher said I could of killed us all and I left a black triangle on the desk.

weird thing is I only got 30mins DT for it, tinking back now I would of expected exclusion.

Yes, it would probably implode?

LOL!
Our school someone shoved magnesium into the bit where they light , we lit our flame and almost blinded our class

[Plank]

my teacher done this once, it didn't explode, it just really had the same effect as a bunsen burner but blowing to the side (the way the gas tap was pointing)

[Jamie!]

everyone says it could blow back into the pipes and explode if you light the tap bit, but according to my chemistry teacher, it won't.

[VPSwow]

No it wouldnt unless the gas tap had auto shut off, which it might do with it been in a school. Because the flame would get sucked in.

it feels so weird saying bunsen burner aswell havn't had to say it in ages lmao, thanks all reps coming around

[Putal]

We always used to shuv things up the gas taps, we wern't stupid enough to try and set the bloody thing on fire though lol - I don't think the school would blow up but maybe all the science labs if they're all linked together.

well, my school has 3 old classes with about 10 gas taps in them and theyre OLD OLD. my chemistry teacher said..

"only use the bunsen burners on these taps because the flame would follow the gas through the tap. just like a deoderant can)

[clarissa !!]

we aint allowed to use the bunsen burners at school anymore
