    It's neat to see how things are in different places. I service and sell fire extinguishers. Those 30Lb amerex D class extinguishers are definitely expensive. There is also a copper powered version model C571. Where I live A is paper, wood, cloth etc.. B is flammable liquids(gases fall into this catahory as well, like we select B rated for propane powered industrial trucks for example) , C is energized electrical equipment, D is combustabke metal, K is commercial kitchen equipment fires involving oils and fats. And that's it, 5 classes.

    I remember in highschool I had played with tcca and ammonium nitrate, wrapping the two practically without mixing them, and it would start melting. The stink of chlorine oxides is extraordinary and the foil wad would get hot and start spittling everywhere around it, with these little pops and snaps. I was young and didn't know about this stuff. Had I known I would've made a larger one and gotten myself in trouble.

    Acetylene torches and stuff. I love acetylene. It was my first proper welding experience and was easy to work with on thin sheet metal. But it has some safety concerns. How you store the bottles. What valve you close first when you're done (oxy) so that oxygen doesn't push back into the acetylene hose, stuff like that. OK, so you've read up on how to safely store and use acetylene. Explaining in text how to adjust the flame properly is tedious. Just watch some videos. Suffice to say, you were using the cutting handle, the flame didn't have enough oxygen, and then you triggered the cutter, adding a bunch of oxygen (used for burning (oxydizing) steel, for instance). I'm not saying adjusting a cutter is an art, but it's easier to show than to tell. Anyway, you were dumping a ton of oxygen at the titanium sheet. Yes, the titanium will burn as long as there's enough oxygen (in the flame), but it won't be sustained when you remove the cutter flame. If there IS a way to get titanium to burn sustainably in atmospheric levels of oxygen, this experiment wit the cutter won't show it. You'll need to use a welding nozzle with a balanced flame. Probably the larger, the better. Or maybe you could try something hotter? Like an electric arc?

      Best strategy is to use the fire against it input equals output by using party balloons the negative charged and temperature pushes any airflow back down in which makes the balloons go higher cause of the lift glass frisbees or mirrors can reflect light therefore heat making it disperse easier plus heres the controversial part a magnet to move the heat fastervamd further amd colder metal can move in like a dog pile reducingbrange etc addimg a magnet is the last thing ifbits fonsidered an option after everything ekse itsbthe cherry on top
