the inside of a soda can is lined with plastic that I'm not sure is safe when it reaches high temperatures. If you dissolve the can itself in sodium hydroxide you can see the liner.
I tried to tell them by using the form on the "contact us" page but it's defective. I tried a few times and I passed the captcha each time but I got this error anyway...
Error Found
You failed the reCaptcha! Sorry, try again later....
I looked but there's no email to be found.
Oh, well!
worth a shot! thanks.
def very dangerous to do
Can you just burn it out?
plastics are petroleum products, in their gaseous state they're usually not safe to breathe. Burning it out would necessarily mean vaporizing it. Wouldn't want to breathe that.
Sure, but sticking it in a fire for a few seconds would remove the plastic. You wouldn't be directly breathing in the smoke from the fire I assume, unless you're some kind of crazy person.
The amount of burning plastic in one can in negligible. I've spent hundreds and hundreds of hours sitting around fires breathing in all kinds of combustion byproducts (wood smoke is bad for you), an extra can or two isn't going to shift the actuarial tables.
Me too. I was more wondering if it can be easily removed by burning or if it's more bound to the aluminum somehow and would still leave something bad after burned. The guy saying how harmful it is to burn plastic I pretty much ignored. I'm an eagle scout. I've breathed in a lot more junk than that tiny bit of plastic.
Ive made something similar, called a penny stove, or a hikers trash stove, but i guess this could be called a hikers trash stove too.These little alcohol stoves put out a surprising amount of heat and can boil water pretty fast.
Also you could buy a cheap rocket stove off amazon for $20. $5 fuel tank does like 20+ boils.
