In the freezer, nothing. It just bent open one of the crushed ends. So I imagine in a fire, the steam would just do the same thing.Duck, What happened?

Make it out of copper and fill it with antifreeze.This is completely filled with water. After crushing one end I put water in it & crushed the other end shut in the vise til it was watertight, then finished crushing it with the press.
I'm going to put it in the freezer and see what happens when the ice expands. Probably nothing exciting at all but maybe later I'll make another one & put it on a camping stove outside and see what the steam pressure does to it. A violent explosion or just a slow leak.. I dunno.

Then toss it in the fire.
For a little bit extra, coat it with that tool dip.


Not likely, ice exerts an insane amount of pressure in a sealed container. Ice can easily generate 100,000 psi, as there's a 10% jump in volume when it freezes.In the freezer, nothing. It just bent open one of the crushed ends. So I imagine in a fire, the steam would just do the same thing.
then we have duck who has almost blown himself upsome people on here get bored and with too much time on their hands think up all kinds of Frankenstein experiments sometimes I wonder how they haven't blown themselves up yet including myself![]()

Yeah which is why I find it odd that all it did was spread open one end. Ice expands in all directions. It should've split open lengthwise unless it rips at one end first, forming a tapered shape for the ice to slip out.Not likely, ice exerts an insane amount of pressure in a sealed container.

Wait and see how long it takes me to finish the work on my tractor. I haven't even touched it in a week.as sure as it took you WAY too much time to build your garage.

King 'o Procrastination.Wait and see how long it takes me to finish the work on my tractor. I haven't even touched it in a week.![]()
No I broke an irreplaceable part and haven't decided whether to attempt to make a new one without a lathe, have one made at the machine shop down the street, or just convert the damn thing to electronic ignition.King 'o Procrastination.
