Default Got NOS?

It may be a bit tragic, but there are so many good automotive puns you could make about this that it *has* to be shared. Idiots.

Well the article said that neighbours have seen the people all go sit in the car for extended amounts of time, then get out, so they were using the car as a sealed chamber. Deliberate i say

They weren't bright enough to realise that a different mix is used in medicine, ours is 50% N20 and 50% O2. That whay it does not kill you through a lack of O2.
Hmmmm, wonder what would happen if you injected the medical stuff into your induction?

Well, it'd hardly be a pre-mortem examination...

The RAF experimented with Liquid Oxygen injection during WW2... its a great power boost, but very dicey during fuelling.... they abandoned it to use Nitrous, just like the Germans were using...

But from the actual point of bolting up a medical grade bottle to a normal nos system, you'd need to fatten up the fuel side a *Long* way... unless you like picking bits of piston out of the sump... :P

Yeah, tipping a O2/N2O mix would melt a lot of stuff!

I was wondering what the difference was between medical grade happy gas, and the stuff used in cars. :

Cylinders will not fit as they are a different connection as well. Apart from that the medical grade stuff (called entonox) is accountable and movement of cylinders has to be registered.

Real smart people. Being in a closed environment probably depleted the oxygen enough to kill the one guy and seriously injure the other 3. Hook it up to your engine if you want some real laughs.
