Basics
- Acetylene is quite an unstable gas, and thus cannot be compressed and stored by conventional means in a NORMAL Gas Cylinder
- Thus it is typically dissolved in Acetone and suspended in some sort of matrix (Most Modern Acetylene Gas Cylinders use a Polyurethane Foam although historic formulations utilized Diatomaceous Earth and/or Asbestos etc
- This leads to special operation, safety, and Cylinder Disposal/Recycling Concerns, which this page aims to outline
Internal Links
- Acetylene
- Gas Cylinder
- Open Source Acetylene Generator
- An alternative to Acetylene Cylinders that uses Calcium Carbide and Water akin to a scaled up Carbide Lamp
