Pneumatic question.....

Pneumatic question.....

well in fairness the arena does have a pollution problem.... lets look at the combination.

1) Co2 used for the flipper, the hammer, and worse of all the Co2 jets.

2) The hazer used now at most events.

3) Pyrotechnics, average 2 per fight.

4) Angle grinders, the new addition, 2 angle grinders, with stu in charge of the button grinding against a M20 nut.

Doesnt sound too good does it. However.... the advantage of the safety net, is just that it is a safety net with small holes in it. This gives us ventilation.

The UK championship arena for August will be a different story as it will be a lot more sealed.
However there is a strong possiblity we will have bull pens, and external activation by then.
I did the farting cow at school... one of the things i remember...... take the average amount ejected x number of cows in the world ... !!!


Food for thought

So the small fire inside Bulldog was nothing in comparison,:sad:

Pneumatic question.....

Er no............ but the lethal gas that is said to escape from John Bells trousers after a heavy meal the night before far exceeds the volume of gas produced by all the cows in the known universe
By volume I mean the amount of gas produced AND the decibel level of the explosion.

Pneumatic question.....

I dont see a problem;

The hazer doesnt cause any problems at all, the haze is basically a dense steam, its main ingrediant is some form of glycerine, the same stuff used in cough medicene (so it doesnt make you cough like some people pretend to do, it actually does the reverse!).

With the pyros the amount of smoke given off in the size of venues we attend doesnt pose a problem (at the weekend we averaged 3 shots per show).

And marios calculations above show that co2 isnt a problem, and that was assuming all the gas was released at once, not over 6 hours of shows (not counting how much is released outside during re-filling).

Johns right in that this is more of a problem - the Robot Wars arena had a fume extraction system to ensure that the build-up of fumes wasnt dangerous within the arena as with little through-flow of air it was the HSE who raised concerns.

It dont help having a trigger happy kid like me on the buttons for the Co2 stuff then does it. Oh dear.

But i fully agree with that Karoline said about John Bell!!!!! LoL!!!
