    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxy-fuel_welding_and_cutting

    An oxygen tank is especially dangerous because the gas is stored at a pressure of 21 MPa (3,000 psi; 210 atm)) when full. If the tank falls over and damages the valve, the tank can be jettisoned by the compressed oxygen escaping the cylinder at high speed. Tanks in this state are capable of breaking through a brick wall. [19]

  3. Acetylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetylene

    Acetylene is a moderately common chemical in the universe, often associated with the atmospheres of gas giants. [50] One curious discovery of acetylene is on Enceladus, a moon of Saturn. Natural acetylene is believed to form from catalytic decomposition of long-chain hydrocarbons at temperatures of 1,700 K (1,430 °C; 2,600 °F) and above ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbide_lamp

    An acetylene gas miner's lamp. A carbide lamp or acetylene gas lamp is a simple lamp that produces and burns acetylene (C 2 H 2), which is created by the reaction of calcium carbide (CaC 2) with water (H 2 O). [1] Acetylene gas lamps were used to illuminate buildings, as lighthouse beacons, and as headlights on motor-cars and bicycles. Portable ...
