#liquid oxygen

[biocrafthero]

Concepts for the robot for my short story "Liquid Oxygen." I'll be designing the human pilot soon.

The robot is an older model that's still serviceable and typically does work that requires heavy-lifting. It's coolant is liquid carbon dioxide that's in desperate need of replacement.

Some detail photos under the cut:

The main visual inspirations were V1 from ULTRAKILL and the Mare Crisium from Heaven Will Be Mine.

How long can liquid oxygen be stored?

The storage duration of oxygen depends on several factors, including the storage method, container type, and environmental conditions. Oxygen is commonly stored in compressed gas cylinders or as liquid oxygen. Here's a breakdown of the storage durations for each type:

Liquid oxygen

Liquid oxygen is stored and transported at very low temperatures, typically around -183 degrees Celsius (-297 degrees Fahrenheit). This extreme cold keeps oxygen in a liquid state, allowing for more efficient storage compared to compressed gas cylinders. The storage duration of liquid oxygen depends on factors such as:

Storage Capacity: The amount of liquid oxygen stored determines how long it will last before needing replenishment.

Evaporation Rate: Liquid oxygen slowly evaporates over time, especially when exposed to ambient temperatures. The rate of evaporation influences storage duration.

Insulation: Proper insulation of liquid oxygen storage tanks helps maintain low temperatures and reduce evaporation, extending storage duration.

Liquid oxygen can be stored for several weeks to months, depending on the size of the storage tank, insulation quality, and usage rate.

I stole this off a post that couldn't be reblogged because they're .... Perfectly allowed to but I'm stealing it anyway since it's just a wikipedia post

FORBIDDEN JUICE

The condensation point of oxygen is 0.9015π Rrad

Two minutes after the vents were sealed, a valve at the bottom of the upper tank opened, and oxygen began to flow down into the F-1s.

PLEAS... pleasepleaseplease let me drink the liquid oxygen...... it would be sososo cold and refreshing

[voidindividual]

Now light it. It's really fun. Trust me.

This isn't ecology related, but I was learning a new workshop at work and we did some experiments with liquid oxygen. I had heard that it was paramagnetic but I'd never seen it with mine own eyes.

Behold!

Anyone else trying to understand how Shadow is breathing in his gold fish bowl when he meets Maria in the lab?

Hey Darlin’❤️✨

I wouldn’t think too much of the situation. It’s only meant to be a bonding moment. I do understand, and appreciate, the questioning of the situation. As a scientist who has viewed her fair share of media that concerns her profession (archaeology), I completely understand the nitpick and concerns for an authentic scene.

If it helps, you’re correct. There should be some sort of life support system for Shadow to breathe/consume nutrients in the cryogenic chamber. However, you could headcanon that his Black Arms abilities make him able to breathe in liquids. If the Sonic characters can breathe in space, then fuck it they can all breathe in liquids 😂❤️

Some more sketches of the pilot and the robot from Liquid Oxygen. Wanted to get a rough understanding of what their backs look like.

Alrighty the boiler is working nowwW!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't want to outright copy an existing design, but I did take some notes from the designs I saw, such as the preheating of the crude oil and the vacuum, to use the heat more efficiently, and the heat injector to control how much heat is actually transfered.

I also have a cooling system (using petroleum as a coolant so it doesn't evaporate), both so the pump doesn't overheat, and to cool the petroleum, since I wasn't much of a fan of pumping 330��C petroleum into my machines.

Also since I'm current not using all of the petreum this thing makes (since it's actually absurd how much it makes), I added a hydro sensor and a liquid shut off to stop the machine from clogging up, since the crude oil would just sit there in the heat, and that would break the pipes.

Now yes, the vulcano did go dormant, and the magma did solidfy, which Isn't stopping the boiler from working since it's still 1300°C, however, I fear that the rock that formed there will stop the vulcano from erupting. It doesn't say that it's buried or that it's overpressured, but maybe that's just because the vulcano is dormant or something. I guess using a robo-miner could fix this? Or maybe more geotuners (I already have one) to further increase the heat? Idk

I also thought of using the second minor vulcano I found, but that's WAY far away and my boiler is on the edge of the map.

Anyway, for now it's working, I will probably have to fix a bunch of stuff still.

Man oni can't do this to me I'm supposed to be preparing for artfight but all I can think abt is Them™ from the second I wake up to the moment I go to bed how am I supposed to prepare in these circumstances 😔

Have you ever seen a poster and thought.

Wait what.

I just did so i googled

Huh. That seems.... not that far? What about...

Okay. Okay that's... still.... but maybe I'm seeing distances wrong let's try what the poster said

.....

Huh. That's. I'm. Wait what is...

Okay so the international space station is roughly 10 times closer to me than the west coast is that's fine this is fine I'm fine what

How Do Catalysts Speed Up Reactions 2025

How Do Catalysts Speed Up Reactions 2025

📘 Book-Level Answer (University-Level – Chemistry A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing permanent chemical change. It functions by providing an alternative reaction pathway with a lower activation energy, thereby allowing more reactant molecules to possess the necessary energy to react at a given temperature. 🔬 How Catalysts Work: - Activation Energy is the minimum energy needed for a chemical reaction to occur. - A catalyst lowers this energy barrier, making it easier for molecules to collide and form products. ⚙️ Types of Catalysts: - Homogeneous Catalysts: These are in the same phase as the reactants (e.g., a dissolved acid catalyst in a liquid reaction). - Example: H⁺ ions catalyzing esterification. - Homogeneous Catalysts: These exist in a different phase than the reactants. - Example: Solid platinum catalyzing hydrogenation of ethene in the gas phase. - Enzymes (Biocatalysts): Special biological catalysts that speed up reactions in living organisms with extreme specificity. 🔁 Reusability: Catalysts are not consumed in the reaction. They participate in the reaction mechanism but are regenerated in the final step. 🧪 Reaction Mechanism (Example: Decomposition of H₂O₂): In the presence of manganese dioxide (MnO₂), the reaction proceeds as: 2H2O2→MnO22H2O+O22H_2O_2 xrightarrow{MnO_2} 2H_2O + O_2 - MnO₂ provides a surface and mechanism that reduces the activation energy, speeding up the release of oxygen gas.

💡 Easy Explanation (For Simpler Understanding) Imagine you're trying to climb a steep hill (the chemical reaction). It's hard and takes a lot of energy. A catalyst is like building a tunnel through that hill—it gives you a shortcut that’s easier and quicker to travel. In chemistry: - A catalyst helps the reacting substances (reactants) take an easier route to turn into the end products. - It doesn't get used up or disappear. You can use it again and again. - It's like having a helpful guide in a race who shows the fastest way without running themselves. Example in Real Life: Think about how your stomach digests food—that’s thanks to enzymes, a type of catalyst that breaks down food super fast compared to if your body tried to do it alone. 🧠 Summary Points: - Catalysts speed up reactions by lowering the activation energy. - They are not used up during the reaction. - They can be physical substances or biological (like enzymes). - They make processes faster, cheaper, and more efficient in industries and in your body. ⚠️ Disclaimer: The easy explanation provided is just to help you understand the concept clearly.
