Does anyone have any spare Sulphur Hexaflouride lying about?

I must get hold of this stuff and ignore the part about "don't try this at home"

Cool

The national grid has shedloads, this is the stuff used in substations to insulate stuff. Not nice stuff either, odourless and colourless you wouldn't know you were surrounded by it until you effectively drown in it. (Unless of course you tried singing, in which case that would be a hilarious way to go!).

True, forgot about them using it. It does't conduct electricity so it's handy if you don't want any electricity arcing. I can understand how you could effectively down in the stuff though, it would just sit at the bottom of your lungs and if you got to the point where you knew you had it in your system it will probably be too late. You might not have the strength to get it back out with it being so dense. I still want to try it lol, just "safely".

...of doing something similar at school with a fishtank, dry ice and soap bubbles.

 

[POAH]
