I ordered a 20lb CO2 cylinder online thinking I could use it to store my halon. the cylinder came today and now I feel stupid.

CO2 Big

I want to put my halon in another permanent and accessible container but the one I got is way too big.

You could make beer (alcohol) and collect the CO2 from that. By the way have seen the Anvil on mercury multiple places online as pictures or gifs. Really fun.

Hi cody. When you are transferring the halon from the extinguisher to the new tank, how will you pump the remaining halon out once the pressure in the two tanks equalizes?

Use a pump to pull a vacuum in your co2 tank before transferring to get all the halon over.

Curious, could you make a CO2 rich atmostphere around a plant, and try doing some stuff with lots of UV lights to see whether you can make it produce more oxygen than normal? What would actually be the outcome of . CO2 rich atmosphere around a plant?

I’ll probably just use what’s left in the extinguisher. I’m sure I can get most of it though.

What can you do with your halon?

Oh man, yeah. That looks like the size of a 5 lb CO2 extinguisher, or the 5 lb CO2 tank that I keep under my sink for my homemade carbonation setup. It's a little annoying that they don't list the tank sizes in terms of volume, but I suppose that's not really useful when the contents become a gas as soon as they're released.

In the UK at least we use the internal volume of the tanks to measure them. It must get pretty confusing when it comes to the weight of specific gases

UV won't do anything. It won't be absorbed efficiently by plants. Chlorophyll has well defined absorption bands, and they are mostly in the visible region of the spectrum. Chlorophyll a does absorb some UV but not as well as visible light. <a href="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/68/Chlorophyll_ab_spectra2.PNG" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/68/Chlorophyll_ab_spectra2.PNG</a>

Size, mass, fill volume and pressure vary by gas but cylinder size (letter) has a reference chart. <a href="https://www.boconline.co.uk/en/health-and-safety/gas-safety/cylinder-weights-sizes/index.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.boconline.co.uk/en/health-and-safety/gas-safety/cylinder-weights-sizes/index.html</a>

Cody, refrigerant recovery and storage tanks are available in convenient sizes and they have both vapour and liquid takeoff valves. <a href="https://www.ebay.com/bhp/refrigerant-recovery-tank" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.ebay.com/bhp/refrigerant-recovery-tank</a>

Patreon comment section where the comments are just as informative as Cody's video. :)

Yeah, one of those, Oops calculations (or a what was I thinking guesses), I've had them. Cheers, Mark

Considering what you've got is basically a refrigerant, I'd be taking all the same steps as recovering a refrigerant. Purging hoses, vaccumming the receiving bottle. There are also pumps designed to pump from one 'tank' to another. If Refrigerant 12B1 is anything like R12 then it will be an amazing cleaner. Story's of frigies way back use to use it to clean their hands with.

I usually fill my CO2 bottle at Norco Welding Supply. Praxair, AirGas or Humfreys also fill welding bottles with CO2. I typically weld with Argon mix since it produces a better weld, but I still get CO2 boo

Bottles from welding supplies for cheap (in comparison to Argon mix bottles)

Absolutely! I try to sift through the comments too. After the videos. Because you just might learn new stuff. Well, for me I always do. 😆 You guys are much smarter!
