[NewCandle] Constrained hydrolysis

[Nick Reiter]

Tonight, I capped the graduated cylinder my
hydrolyzing roll is in with a makeshift plug and hose
barb, and did a water trap bubbler scheme into another
graduated cylinder, just to get a rough idea of the
volumes being produced at this point...

Per my guess, tons o' tiny bubbling can be deceptive -
the rate I was getting was only about 2-3 ml / min at
this point.  Still, its enough to trap some in a
balloon or maybe burn some in a jet made from a
hypodermic needle.  I know that when I hit a big
bubble with my lighter it goeth bang.  The flame
arrestor part I will need to thinkabout, but ya, that
would be pretty essential.  I'm not even sure whats in
a normal commercial one that I would use on a torch or
Brown's Gas gener...oh, forget I almost mentioned that
last one... heehee.

nnnn
